STAMFORD, Vt. — As the clock struck 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the time came for five eighth-graders to graduate from Stamford Elementary School.

 

The students, led by class marshals Jacob Howland and Katlyn O'Neil, marched onto the stage to "Pomp and Circumstance." Class President Brandon Condon followed up with the salute to the flag and welcomed the gathering, reminding them of fond memories he had throughout his years at Stamford Elementary.

 

He urged them to keep the values that were taught at the school and asked his classmates to remember the hard work they did to produce the funds necessary for their class trip. He said that work ethic will result in success as they move forward.

Secretary Debra Chesbro asked the class members to keep reaching for the stars and not to leave any stone unturned until they reached their goals. She said everyone will always be proud of them and their accomplishments.
