St.
Louis School Graduation Twofold for Students
The end of the 2010 school year is twofold for students at the St. Louis
campus. Seven students are about to embark on the next phase of their
lives while making history as the last graduating class at the Walton
Road location. The St. Louis School will host their graduation ceremony
on Thursday, July 1, 2010, at 4:00 p.m. at the St. Louis School, located
at 2800 Walton Road, in Tyler. The students graduating are: Justin
Butler, Josh Herman, Melissa Hunter, Andrew Meazell, Chris Parnell,
Monze Ramirez and Sarah Thompson.
“The 2010 graduating students will be the last class to graduate at the
St. Louis campus,” said Karyn Hacker, Principal of St. Louis School.
“Our graduation ceremonies are an exciting time for the students and the
staff. During our time we have learned from them, faced challenges and
laughed with them. Most of all they have entered our hearts and we wish
them and their families the best in this new chapter of life that they
are entering into.”
Justin Butler has been at St. Louis for 11 years. His favorite school
activities are playing percussion, musical toys and keyboard, and
working. Justin loves to ride in a bus or car, listen to music, go out
to eat—at any restaurant, and go through the drive-thru. Justin loves to
dance to a beat he likes. Justin loves to laugh and have fun with
friends.
Josh Herman has been at St. Louis for 12 years. Josh’s favorite school
activities are the hug machine, sensory time, music, going outside,
riding a trike, swinging, dancing and hugging. Josh enjoys swimming, jet
skiing, and riding in the car or bus. When he was young, his family took
him for rides on the jet ski, he would always fall off so he could swim.
His dad put him on the front of the jet ski and he loved it. Now, as
long as he is steering, he’ll stay on the jet ski all day.
Melissa Hunter has been at St. Louis for the past year. Melissa’s
favorite school activities are music, dancing, walking, and doing work
jobs outside the classroom. She enjoys going for car rides, watching
Wheel of Fortune, buying cokes at Walmart, giving hugs and kisses, and
having her fingernails and toenails painted. Melissa is a sweetheart who
loves to hug and kiss regardless of the mood she is.
Andrew Meazell has been at St. Louis School since the age of six.
Andrew’s favorite activity is laying and resting in a nice cool place
and eating cheesecake. He likes music and movies with lots of music.
When he was able to go to church, he would usually be quiet during the
music and start fussing when the preacher started his sermon. He’s also
like Goldilocks—he wants his food just right—not too hot, not too cold.
Chris Parcell has been at St. Louis for nine years. His favorite school
activities are horseback riding, A.P.E., music, group time and earning
his Dr. Pepper. Chris loves riding his bike and playing basketball
with his brother, Corey. He likes playing the guitar, singing in the
microphone, and watching certain movies. Chris loves going to Camp Tyler
and riding in the hayride—but he especially likes sitting on the
tractor. Chris can get very focused on one thing he is doing.
Rita “Monze” Ramirez has been at St. Louis School since the age of
three. Monze’s favorite school activities are rocking babies, taking
sacks of shredded paper to the bus, calming upset students by holding
their hand, recycling (taking plastic bottles, aluminum cans and paper
to the office) and delivering messages—anything to get out in the
hallway and be around people. She enjoys going to church, playing with
children, watching TV (especially food and animal programs), playing in
the dirt, and getting her feet wet.
Sarah Thompson has been at St. Louis School for two years. Sarah loves
to go on vacation. She has cruised the Bahamas, visited Washington D.C.,
beach combed in Maine and viewed the Monterey Fish Aquarium in
California. She is happiest when the whole family is together at dinner.
