2008 Honor & Recognition
Ceremony Changes
The Honor & Recognition ceremony has been a Confederated
Tribes of Grand Ronde tradition to honor and celebrate Education
Program student achievements.
Preschool graduates, eighth-grade promotions, high school gradu
ates, GED graduates, college graduates, K-12 achievement awards
and Education scholarship recipients are all recognized.
Last year, more than 100 students were recognized during the
ceremony.
With an increasing number of students, the ceremony has become
quite long. It is our hope that we can better emphasize the successes
of individual student achievements through offering a variety of
educational ceremonies.
The Education Program will celebrate student achievements by
category for the 2007-08 school years. The following is a brief outline
of those categories.
The Early Childhood Education program will celebrate the
graduation of our preschools at the Aug. 14 preschool graduation
ceremony.
Youth Education program will host a celebration for our local
eighth-graders promoting to high school. Date and time to be
announced.
Youth Education Achievement and Recognition awards will be
not be recognized during a ceremony. All awards will be mailed
to students.
Youth Education and Higher Education will recognize high school,
GED and college graduates on June 20.
Higher Education Scholarship recipients will not be recognized
during a ceremony. Recipients will receive notification of award
via mail.
Education programs will provide more details of individual cer
emonies in upcoming issues of Smoke Signals.
