Seniors Celebrate the Finish Line at Project Graduation 2010

Project Graduation “Celebrating The Finish Line” was a fun-filled night for 72 PHS graduates.  The evening began with a variety of activities for the seniors – from riding the mechanical bull to the money machine to Guitar Hero and Dance Revolution to poker and blackjack tables – there was something for everyone. The seniors got together for a “Class of 2010 Jeopardy” game that revealed favorites, nicknames and secrets from the past.  A highlight of the event was the gym turned laser tag arena where the seniors wore headbands and took shots at one another from behind huge blowup barriers.  Karaoke, dances and a kickball tournament rounded out the early morning activities.

Snacks were being rolled out throughout the night.  Chick-Fil-A nuggets, popcorn, BBQ sandwiches, nachos, frito pie, candy bar, ice cream sundaes and cold drinks were gobbled up as quickly as they were served.  A homemade breakfast prepared by Jarryd Shirley’s mom and grandma finished off the event with style.

The big finale began with the male beauty contest where Adrian Rodriguez blew away the competition with his sundress and hat.  It was then time for the big giveaway - the drawings for the thousands of dollars of door prizes.  Forty of the grads left with door prizes ranging from mini-fridges to laptop computers.  All the graduates were winners, though, as they departed with a minimum of $30 cash and $35 in gift cards.

The senior class parents want to thank all the individuals and businesses that made Project Graduation possible with their generous donations.  A total of $16,761 was raised and spent to make it a night to remember.

      The celebrations and ceremonies for the class of 2010 began on Sunday with the annual baccalaureate service at First Baptist Church. Junior ushers Aubrey Antle, Mariah Leland, Trevor Watson, and Jorden Young led the seniors to their seats in the middle of the auditorium. After they were seated, senior Yvonne Michaud opened the occasion in prayer. Then the choir sang “I Believe I can fly.” After the song, Tyne Deussen introduced Denton County Cowboy Church pastor, Mr. Brandon Henderson, who gave the seniors an address about graduating and life. He said the seniors should challenge themselves and those around them to be become a better person.
            “I really liked Mr. Henderson being the speaker, because he made me laugh a couple times during his speech,” senior Courtney Antle said.
            Once the pastor finished his speech, the senior slideshow began. It showed pictures of the seniors throughout their last year of high school. There were pictures from bowling, baseball, school spirit days, and many more activities. The slideshow ended by going through every senior’s individual baby, 6-10 year-old and current pictures. When the slideshow ended, Kaleb Broadstreet closed the event with the benediction. Once he was back in his place, the seniors walked outside and were with their family and friends.
The seniors are now looking forward to graduation, which is at 5pm on June 2, 2010, at the UNT coliseum.
            “Senior year went by fast for me, but I’m glad graduation is almost here,” senior John Wendt said.

  Each year there are only a select few Ponder athletes who get the opportunity to play a sport in college. Zach Hendrix joined that elite group on Monday by signing a letter of intent to play baseball at Oklahoma Wesleyan University. Assistant coach Chance Stevens from Oklahoma Wesleyan, PHS baseball coach Mark Low, athletic director Jude Stanley and superintendent Bruce Yeager are shown with Hendrix’s parents as he signs.
