One on One with LR Class of 2024 valedictorian, salutatorian
For Susie Butler, sixth grade still feels like yesterday. “I remember when Mr. Peterson sat us down in gym class to explain just how fast the rest of our time in high school would go. By most didn’t believe him, but here we are, almost seven years later, and to me, that day in sixth grade still feels like yesterday. Although this period of life has flown by, I’ve managed to make so many memories, and I hope you have too,” said Butler, Lake Region’s Class of 2024 valedictorian at Sunday’s graduation ceremony in Nutting Gym. “...You don’t get a second life. This life is your only chance to do everything you’ve dreamed of. So, don’t settle for the job that makes you miserable just because you can afford the car everyone expects you to have. Don’t listen to the people who call you crazy or the people who don’t believe in you simply because they don’t believe in themselves. Follow your own path and do what makes you happy, because it’s your life after all.”
