Rising Sta²rs



A night to be cherished and remembered honoring those who squeezed in every possible minute of study strength into a day throughout their high school endeavors; the Sta²rs banquet allots their moment to shine. These top 10% elite of North High and Tartan High School senior students are privileged to a glowing ceremony at the Prom center in Oakdale on May 18, 2011. All their hard work, determination, and late study nights have finally paid off to great success. Each student sat at an ornate table accompanied by family and an influential teacher from their education’s past. I had the opportunity to interview a few of the following attendees.
Ryan Ringsred explained the ceremony as, “It was very formal, but very fun too because I got to talk to my favorite teacher and all my friends.” His inspirational guest was Mrs. Vidlock “because she made history fun, kept the class entertained and cared about the students.” A succulent three course dinner including a salad, chicken breast, mashed potatoes, beans, and cake pleasantly satisfied their appetites. “The speaker, Joe Lewis, had a very good speech; but some of the other speakers seemed to drag on.”Overall, Ryan’s experience was a pleasant one.
Another diligent student, Rachel Colter, was spotted at the elegant ceremony. “I enjoyed the ceremony very much, because I was delighted to be recognized for all the hard work and effort I put forth on my own time.” Each student’s name and achievements were announced as they were individually recognized on stage with a proceeding applause of admiration. “There were many speakers, which praised our hard efforts and encouraged our continuation of the work ethic we attained throughout our life.” She was accompanied by Coach Knox “because he was a positive influence and great encourager.” Rachel was pleased with the ceremony, but had one downfall “I didn’t have anything to wear!”
The banquet was a beautiful evening filled with extravagance from the delicious food to the glowing smiles of the young scholars. Another year of new stars added to our world is a step towards more flourishing individuals. The Sta²rs award is a high honor to achieve, and it continues year after year with new rising stars.
