THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 31 ,1989
Royal Ambassadors are recognized
Well, with the last week of
school here, everybody is itching to
gel to summer vacation time, it
seems!
1 know the kids arc ready for it,
and the teachers feel the need for a
little time off, 100. A well-deserved
lime off, as we all know!
♦ ♦♦
Speaking of schools, the educa
tional station played the tape of the
"Schools of Excellence" banquet
held In Atlanta earlier this spring
during the morning hours of
Memorial Day.
Perry was well-represented, of
course, with Tucker Elementary
School, Perry Middle School and
Perry High School all receiving the
"Excellence" rating.
Middle-Schooler Rico Simon,
who was the only middle grades
student in the state invited to make
a speech at the banquet, made a
wonderful impression as he gave
his excellent speech to the crowd.
I might add that he received a
standing ovation, not only from the
Houston County people, but from
the entire crowd. He did a superb
job of representing his school and
his town!
Rico is an eighth-grader at Perry
Middle School, and he has one of
the highest grade point averages in
the school, as well as being a fine
athlete.

The wreaths arc to honor all

This past holiday was no excep

worthy of notice.
