Congratulations, Class 9A of 2016!

Dear all,

First of all, let me congratulate you on your exam results! They were great and I was very happy to see that you have all made it to the 10th grade which marks the beginning of a new phase of your life.

Second, it's time to say goodbye - goodbye to all especially those who, for different reasons, are moving to a new school, and goodbye to this blog. Indeed, this is the end of a three-year cycle and blog dedication from us all; this is the end of 3 years of being your Form Teacher as well as Teacher of English as a Foreign Language and let me remind you that we've achieved a lot together! We started with a honours award on this blog, moved on to an etwinning project which was awarded as well, first with the National Quality Label, then with the European Label and finally we had the eTwinning flag hoisted in our school.
Right now it's time to celebrate your success(es) and to enjoy your holidays. Choose your own path and BE HAPPY!
I'll leave you with a wonderful book / poem by Dr. Seuss "Oh, The Places you'll go!" - Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself 
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.

You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, 
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.

And you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.

It's opener there
in the wide open air.

Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.

And then things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.

OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

(…)

And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
You're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
     So...get on your way!
