"During my seven years in the South Redford School District,
I was continuously met with educational material that challenged me and pushed me
to reach higher levels of understanding. I can honestly say that there never was a moment
where I felt my mind wasn't stimulated by the materials taught in the classroom,
and that is a great thing!"

¨Being a leader is what you do when nobody is watching,
going above and beyond for the common good, and putting others before yourself…
I will never forget the doors I walked through from kindergarten to senior year in this district.
I will successfully represent the community of South Redford
positively wherever my journey takes me and be a proud Thurston Alumni.¨
