Menzie Graduates from McNary HS by Mom (Donita) We would like to announce the graduation of our wonderful, loving daughter, Ashlie Menzie, who will graduate from McNary High School in Keizer, Ore., on June 6, 2003. In addition to Ashlie’s high scholastic grades, she has many accomplishments that make us proud of her. Ashlie has been recognized for her perfect attendance from Head Start, kindergarten, and elementary school through middle school. She has missed only a half a day in four years of high school. Ashlie Menzie Ashlie has strong core values and a deep commitment to bringing projects to a successful completion. She’s a very dedicated person. This also is evident in her commitment to band. Every morning she gets up one-and-a-half hours earlier than she would normally have to so she can assist her band teacher in tutoring children in the fifth through eighth grades. During the last three years, Ashlie has played the flute in regular band, marching band, and concert band. She also has helped the band director set up two of her last concerts. Ashlie plans to attend college in the fall. Even though she’ll leave high school behind, she’ll open the door to a new career. All of her family (including her little sister, Andrea) are very proud of her accomplishments and wanted others to know a little about her and how special she is to us.
