To begin the night, the senior football players took the lead in walking onto the field, along with their family, to be honored. Following the football players, the remaining seniors who participated in fall sports were presented: cheer leading, marching band, color guard, cross country, one act, and volleyball. Each individual senior was named and recognized for their accomplishments in fall sports here at Burton.
Most seniors were rewarded with a memorable gift. Some of the gifts included picture frames, medallions, or goody bags. Several seniors including Candice C., Torie A., Austin B., and Ron Y. were all in agreement that this night
was sad but also exciting. Each of the seniors stated they are ready to see what life holds for them in their future after Burton. Candice C., member of the Burton Color Guard for four years, admitted she was very heartbroken as she walked on the field Friday night as a senior her last time.Several seniors including Roy T., Ron Y., Torie A., and Candice C., all believe the fall sports they were recognized for on Friday night, has shaped them into becoming a better person. Through their experiences, these seniors have been taught values such as independence, responsibility, and leadership. In addition to the joy felt during this walk, the Raiders admitted they felt despondent knowing that their time here at Burton is coming to an end . Torie A. states that she will not only miss cheering on Friday nights but also the friendships she has built during her time at Burton.
All of us here at Burton's Blog would like to congratulate the seniors for all of the accomplishments they have made while at Burton. Seniors, just remember: "Once a Raider, always a Raider."
