Larissa's favorite high school memory was being the Belle in Beauty and the Beast.

If she had one wish it would to never be in debt.
She admires my father, Tim Larrick. Tim was an Ag Advisor for 28 years. Growing up she watched him teach students the importance of agriculture. As a result she plans to receive my bachelors degree in Secondary Agriculture Education.
Her 3rd grade teacher, Carrie Greenwell, had the biggest influence on her because she taught the entire class how to sing the National Anthem. Since that day Larissa have performed the National Anthem at multiple events. Mrs. Greenwell also created silly songs for the class to learn their multiplication facts that are still used today.
The one thing that Larissa will miss the most about SSHS is FFA and musical performances.
She passed the first grade class WIG (Wildly Important Goal) to learn 100 sight words!

Her favorite high school memory would have to be her friends throwing her a "Prom 2.0" after she was unable to attend last year.
Her favorite class in high school is Band/Choir.
If she had one wish it would be to help as many people as possible.
Abigial admires her parents the most. They are both a team and they have both helped her through so much.
The teacher that had the biggest influence on her is Mr. McCoy. Mr. McCoy has taught her many things about music but also about how hard work pays off. He is such a positive light in not just her life but also other students. He is very relatable and funny and he makes music fun. Throughout her high school career Mr. McCoy has pushed her to achieve her goals and has really taught Abigail that hard work can help you achieve anything.
Abigail will miss the music program the most and the community that they built together. Hanging out and making music with her friends is a highlight of her high school experience. Mr. McCoy has truly made a fun space to learn and make music.
