“A big shout-out to all the kids who didn’t win an award, make honor roll and barely made it through the school year.
A big hug to the moms, dads, grandparents, caregivers and foster parents that stuck by them as they maneuvered the school year.
To the kids that didn’t get invited to the prom, didn’t get a scholarship to college, and perhaps have to go straight to work out of high school, you are still worthy of a pat on the back and a mention in the newspaper with people talking about how amazing you are.
Some kids have to work twice as hard as other students just to get a C. Their achievements deserve recognition.
Don’t forget those kids. Kindness, creativity and generosity, those attributes sadly don’t get the accolades they deserve.
Congratulations from all of us.” Remember this as you attend graduations and watch students cross the stage. No matter their situation, they all worked hard to reach this point, and should be recognized for it.
Please send us your shout-outs. Let us know who walked the extra mile. Tell us who put a smile on your face. You can either send it to Taylor Press, 211 W. Third St. or post on our Good News Taylor Made Facebook page.
