A dozen eighth-graders at Stephensville Elementary are headed to Morgan City High School this fall. A program to celebrate their farewell from SES was held May 18 in the school gym.
Principal Candice Grivet welcomed guests and students and introduced MCHS Principal Mickey Fabre who congratulated the students and assured them they would be successful adjusting to a big school.
Teacher Melanie Belle, with the help of Grivet, presented numerous awards to the graduating students: Olivia Baio, Aaron Fontenot, Layla Gros, Barry Johnson, Mayah Landry, Jeremy LeBouff, Blake Peterson, Karli Rivero, Xavier Roberson Theo Rodrigue, Brin Romero and Grant Torgrimson.
Straight A students were Bria Romero and Layla Gros, who was also the 2017-18 Student of the Year. Grant Torgrimson achieved perfect attendance and placed second in the St. Martin Parish Science Fair. Olivia Baio was second in the parish Math Fair.
An Excellence in Efort plaque was awarded to Mayah Landry, and Bria Romero received the Citizenship Award. Following the awards presentation, a slide show was viewed and the program finished with the presentation of roses to teachers and parents.
