Students were congratulated on their induction into the Gurdon Primary School Honor Club, then students and parents were encouraged to continue to work toward even higher goals.

You cant rest on your laurels, said Joe Ann Shaver, guest speaker for the induction exercises.

Shaver said parents and grandparents are among the biggest supporters for students.

It takes all of us and the community around us to raise our children, Shaver said.

Shaver then turned her attention to the students being recognized for their outstanding academic performances. She reminded students that learning is a building process. She said that each new skill is built on skills already mastered, and said thats the reason students should do their best at every level.
