Time to Say Farewell to 2nd Class











It was bittersweet yesterday at our end-of-year party....saying good-bye to this class was not easy. This group of kids have so much to be proud of. For me the best part of this particular group was their spirit of teamwork and comraderie, in spite of diverse backgrounds, interests and schools. Isn't that really what defines success? Marshall McBride was awarded AGC's first "Straight to Work" scholarship, which he will use to buy tools or supplies to help him at his job at Western Refinery Services. Billy Managan was awarded a $1,000 scholarship. Billy will be attending WSU this fall to major in Construction Management. There were many parents and employers on-hand to celebrate with the kids, but the most touching moment came when the kids gathered to give their superstar mentor and teacher, Ted Goeres a huge hug.
