On Friday, May 1st, Borger High School administrators celebrated academics with students and parents in a unique way. Due to the current situation with Covid-19, the traditional Academic Awards Banquet, which is held each year to honor the top ten academic performers in each class at BHS was cancelled. Cancelling the banquet was a true disappointment as this event is widely anticipated by students, parents, family members, board members and administrators.
In lieu of the banquet, Mrs. Conaway and Mr. Ammerman delivered large balloon bouquets to each of the 40 students at their homes all over the county. Deliveries started before 10 am on Friday morning. The last delivery was made after six o’clock in Stinnett. The main feature of the balloon bouquet was a large number that corresponded to the rank of the student receiving this honor. Mr. Welch, BISD Superintendent, joined the BHS team to deliver the bouquets to seniors.
Throughout the day, there were countless smiles from students, parents and families. This celebration also acted as a reunion of sorts as the administrators have not seen any of these students since before Spring Break.
Mrs. Conaway and Mr. Ammerman would like to thank Lisa Rodriguez for always helping to make their crazy ideas a reality. They would also like to thank Chocolate Tulip (517 North Main Street) for their professionalism and kindness. They did an outstanding job having everything ready and organized and the bouquets were beautiful.
BHS will be sharing the photos each day this week through Thursday. We will share a different grade level each day and announce the valedictorian and salutatorian on Friday. There will be a full virtual banquet released next week featuring BHS graduate and former BISD School Board Member Dave Brandon, as special guest speaker. @ChocolateTulipFlowers #BorgerISD #WeAreBorgerHigh #top10
