Tonight, we celebrate the parents, guardians and families that have nurtured these young scholars. We thank you for entrusting us with your children and allowing us to be a part of their lives. We also acknowledge the time and efforts of the young ladies participating in this event and express our sinc ere gratitude to you, your parents and families.
