Valedictorian 2009: Ishan

 My eleven years at Sherwood Heights have been the most memorable years of my life.  I joined this school when I was three years old and ever since, each day has been a fun-filled learning experience.  I treasured the challenges that my teachers provided and looked forward to every opportunity: the Science Fair, the speech competitions, the Christmas Concert, and the field trips.

 I have made many friends here whom I will miss as I move on to begin a new chapter in my life.  I would like to thank all my teachers, who made such an impact on my life and have put me on the path to realize my goals and dreams.  The torch of knowledge has been lit here and will shine brighter as I carry it forward through life.  I will remember and miss you all.

 Thank you Sherwood Heights for these wonderful years!

Valedictorian 2010: Courtney

 I came to Sherwood Heights in grade 5, and since then I have had a wonderful experience.  Sherwood Heights has given me an amazing academic experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.  Not only has Sherwood Heights taught me to persevere, but it has also taught me to be a leader by having a positive influence towards my peers.  I have made kind and heart-warming friends that I hope will be by my side in high school and in the later future.  I remember that the idea of going to a new school scared me, but once I walked into Sherwood Heights, I remember thinking that this is the school I want to graduate from.  There was something about it that made me feel comforted and the scared and nervous feeling I had faded away.  I would like to thank my teachers who have shown so much dedication and have taught me to strive to achieve.  Most of all, I would like to thank Mrs. Whitlock for teaching me skills that I will need later on in life and for teaching me the meaning of why it is important to have friends.
