Seniors so proud of polite students, staff

I know I speak for so many seniors who attended the spaghetti dinner at Everett High School on Feb. 12. In addition to a fantastic meal, there was also beautiful music played by the high school band and very professional singing. We were greeted at the door by the school’s R.O.T.C. dressed in their Navy uniforms. The high school students served us along with so many school volunteers. Food, music, dancing, plus catering to our every whim. Then there was a chance-by-name draw to win such wonderful prizes. How refreshing it was to witness such love and politeness from the school staff and students. We are so prou of them. Everett High School, take a bow from us senior citizens. You are a beacon of light.

On behalf of all seniors who attended, our thanks for an incredible evening.

Everett
