Here are words of wisdom from this year’s class:
Relationship Advice
You need to date a boy that has brown hair and hazel eyes. He needs to wear a blue shirt with grey shorts. He should take you to the beach and get you a beach towel with white polka dots on it. (Emersyn Bottorff)
You need to date a boy that has black hair and brown eyes. He needs to treat you good by being your friend. He needs to make friends with you and some other people too so you can have lots of friends together! (Katerin Toro)

You need to date a girl with black hair and blue eyes. She needs to wear a blue dress and black shoes. When you grow up, you are going to be rich so you need to date a girl who is rich. She needs to have a zillion dollars and drive a red or pink lamboughini! She needs to treat you nice by giving you a PS5 so you can play Roblox together on it! (Jeffrey Ginn)
Car Advice
The best vehicle for college is not a car at all; it’s a kind of car that drives you wherever you want and you don’t have to drive. It is called an Uber car and it is pink. The car that you get that drives you wherever you want, you get to keep, but it costs a lot of money. It costs 100 dollars! (Remmi Clark)
The best vehicle for college is a white or grey lamboughini. These cars can go really fast! You can buy one at a car store for 40 hundred dollars. You need to drive your lamboughini below 50 miles per hour because if you go over that, a police officer will get you for speeding and fine you a speeding ticket. Then, the ticket will cost 50 to 90 dollars and you will have to pay it or the officer will send you to jail! (Ella Head)
The best vehicle for college is a blue side car. It is actually a truck with three wheels. There is one wheel in the front and in the back there are two wheels. It’s like a racecar, but it’s not a racecar. You buy it from the place where they have shiny cars and everybody buys a new car there. It costs 200 dollars and 5 thousand cents. You should drive your truck fast on the highway and on dirt, but slow when you are not going that far. You can go up and over the ramp, then drive on rocks without falling over! (Oliver Cassell)
The best vehicle for college is a green car. You can buy a car from Jesus because he will give you a car. If you have eighteen days to get a car, you can think about the kind of car you want and then ask Jesus for it. If he gets you a new car, it will be light brown on the inside and it will be really, really clean on the inside. You need to keep it really clean on the inside because your family will not want it to be dirty and Jesus will be proud of you for keeping your car clean! (Callie Dodson)
Dating Advice
Have your boyfriend pick you up in a red car. He will take you some place to eat like Pizza Hut. He will order you both a large pizza with pepperoni on it. He will order you a Coke and him a Sprite. While you are waiting for the pizza, you can talk about Field Day and that your favorite thing was the slide. After you eat your pizza, he will take you home and he will say, “I had a good time.” (Keily Camacho)
Have your boyfriend pick you up in a white car and take you to McDonalds. He will buy you a cheeseburger and French fries and he will buy the same thing for himself. He will also get two cokes. After you eat, he will take you home and say, “You are pretty.” (Roxani Maldonado)
Pick your girlfriend up in a blue car and take her to the Wal-Mart store. You need to buy a tv that cost 25 dollars. Take her to her house and set up the tv for her. Then, you could watch Spiderman together and eat popcorn and drink apple juice together. After the movie, she would say thank you for the nice tv and you would have to say that you are welcome! (Braiden Rocha)
Pick up your girlfriend in your grey truck. Take her to a food place, like Little Caesars. Order a large cheese pizza for both of you and 2 Dr. Peppers. While you are waiting for the pizza, you could talk to her about cars. After you eat all the pizza, take her back home and tell her that you love her! (Jordan Trevino)
Pick your girlfriend up in a red racecar. Take her to Hawaii, but you would have to have a lot of gas to get there. Hawaii is about 300 miles from here. When you get there, you and your girlfriend would have to follow the safety rules at the beach. You would stay there for about six hours, then go back home. Take her home and tell her that you had a nice time in Hawaii. Next time, you can take her to California and go surfing! (Zachary Anderson)
Homework Advice
If you get invited to a party at college and you have homework, you need to get your homework done before you go to the party. If you don’t do all your homework, you will get in trouble by your mom. Your Mom will say, “If you don’t do your homework, you won’t be going to any party, even if you are in college.” Your Mom is always the boss, not the kids! (Lilly Thompson)
If you get invited to a party at college and you have homework, you need to do your homework because you have to. Your boss at college will tell you to do your homework because you have to. If you don’t do it, the boss will get you in trouble. You will be kicked out of Sherman so you can’t go there to eat or shop. (Kimber Blakeley)
If you get invited to a party at college and you have homework, you need to do your sight words before you go to the party. You need to learn your sight words so you can read a book. If you get your sight words done, you can go to the party and kick the soccer ball with your friends by the bounce house. Then, you and your friends can eat butter for a snack, the crunchy butter that goes with a cookie snack! (Knox Anders)
Graduation Advice
You need to remember to not talk while the teacher is talking and to listen to her. If you don’t want to wear you cap and gown, you will get into trouble and you will have to sit out. If you sit out, you will miss all the fun stuff, like doing a fun packet, playing games, and singing songs! (Laken Stoker)
During graduation, you need to sing your songs and help the other people around you learn their ABC’s. You need to know your ABCs and the Thank You song so you can help others. You can watch tv all the time, but you need to sing your ABC and the Thank You songs during the programs so you will know what you are doing at graduation. If your Dad is in a band, you can go listen to him play, but you have to do your job and be quiet. The one guy in the black graduation shirt will give you candy if you are good! You might get to sign up to go home early if you are good during your graduation. You might not have anything to do when you get home after graduation, but you can always practice your guitar.
