Cut the Ribbon!

By: Ellie Mearns

“Giving this school wings to fly” was a section in Dr. Pamela Birds speech during the ribbon cutting ceremony.

At Forrest Bird Charter High School the discovery bus attended the banquet. Attendees could check out cool experiments and try them out for themselves. K12 and Northwest Pro Educators showed up to inform students and parents about alternative schools.

The highlight of the night was food for many people, Madisen McAurther 7th grader says, “The service was great and the food was better.” The FBCS catering class served the guests; they had many different appetizers.

Speeches were the biggest thing that night. Dr. Pamela Bird’s speech was very moving and empowering.  Pamela made a point that all of us were thinking about afterwards that 3% are innovators 4% leaders and 93% are followers. The biggest thing that stood out was “We are giving this school the wings to fly, for innovation, a future, and for hope.” We also had some special performances from some students Calvin Aerni, Makai Miller, Eleanore Mearns, and Charlene Rawuka. Makai Miller 9th grader and Eleanore Mearns 7th grader read poems about succeeding no matter what other people say or do. Calvin Aerni 11th grader and Charlene Rawuka 10th grader both gave musical performances. 

The night was fun and fascinating and everyone had a ball!
