Woodland Park High School has chosen two outstanding seniors to represent the Class of 2021 with graduation speeches through a new process devised by a student task force.
Top honor students had the opportunity to submit a short statement on why they should be considered to write a speech. Of the statements submitted, five semifinalists were asked to submit a speech for consideration to the WPHS administration. From these five students, the administration chose two who best represent the class.
Selected to speak at the May 28 graduation were Mycah Quevillon and Andrew Graber, both of the Divide area, who have attended schools in the Woodland Park School District their entire school careers. Both attended Summit Elementary School.
What is Lyle the Crocodile about?
Megan Coberly, director of the production and the education director at Salina Community Theatre, said that as a former elementary school teacher, she was familiar with Weber’s book “Lyle Lyle Crocodile,” which she called “such a cute story.”
“I loved the message (of the book), so when I saw there was a musical, I jumped right on it,” she said.
“Lyle the Crocodile” is the story of how a walking, dancing crocodile changes the hearts and minds of a community in New York City. When Lyle pops up in a bathtub in the Primm household, he quickly settles in and becomes a part of their family. But not everyone in Lyle’s orbit is as accepting of Lyle as the Primm family, especially the aptly named Mr. Grumps.
