The Senior Class of 2006,
would like to express our sincere
thanks to the many individuals,
organizations, and businesses that
made the last several weeks of our
senior year so enjoyable. The
meals and the gifts were thorough-
ly appreciated by each one of us.
We would also like to thank
our parents for their outstanding
support throughout the year. The
Progressive Dinner was a memo-
rable night for all. A special thank
you goes to Coach McCarty for
being our chauffeur, IGA and
Delbert Turner for donating food
and providing food at cost, and the
moms and dads that gave both
their time and effort to enable our
class to have this evening that we
will remember forever.
Our final expression of
thanks goes to Dr. Mohundro and
to the faculty and staff of DeLeon
I.S.D. Each of you provided us
with a beautiful graduation cere-
mony. The roses, the decorations,
and your attendance made this the
"premier event" that is was intend
cd lobe.
With love.
