It is my honor to congratulate all of the graduating seniors in Falcon, Ellicott, Peyton, Calhan, Hanover, Edison, Miami-Yoder, Widefield and Fountain School Districts! House District 19 is the proud home of approximately 1,770 young men and women ready to celebrate 12 years of hard work, dedication and commitment to their academic excellence!The concept of education for all children has expanded steadily over the past 200 years and is serving our children well into the 21st century. However, a first-rate education depends on a network of partnerships with teachers, parents and children. I thank the dedicated, skillful and knowledgeable teachers who have a profound impact on our children’s success in school and throughout their lives. To honor and acknowledge the lasting contributions teachers have made in our lives, now and forever, the General Assembly dedicated May 8 as National Teacher Day.Loving, caring and supportive parents are the most important influence in a child’s life. I honor parents who become an intricate thread in their children’s brightly colored lives by participating as much as possible in their child’s academic, athletic and overall experiences in school.The most important ingredient in this story of success is YOU, the student! Soon, you will become the bedrock of our society, state and nation. Your 18 years of experience, wisdom and knowledge have prepared you for great things.Some of you will choose to continue your education, some will start working full time or some will enlist in the armed services and fight for the freedom and liberty of the citizens of this great nation!Choices you should consider carefully!Choices that will determine your destiny!Whatever your choice may be, please keep my appreciation and admiration for you close to your heart, and follow your path and determine your unique destiny!-Marsha LooperHouse District 19, State Representative
