Davidson Raiders

Our second graduate celebration for Friday, June 19th, is Joseph Panushe Mutakura, who is the second youngest child of Jenipher and Anos Mutakura. During his school days, Joe participated in a large variety of school sports, including football, volleyball, and track and field. However, his passion is basketball, and he has worked very hard year-round to become a force on the court and a leader on the team. He has helped this team earn conference and regional titles and placed fourth at Provincials in grade 10. This year, in his final basketball season, he helped lead this team undefeated into Provincials and earned bronze. Outside of school, Joe also plays club basketball in Saskatoon and was chosen this spring by Basketball Saskatchewan to play in their Senior All-Star Classic Tournament. Joe plans to attend the University of Saskatchewan this fall to do a four-year undergraduate degree and then apply to law school. Joe received the following Davidson School graduation academic awards of excellence for finishing 30-level courses with final marks above 90%-- English Language Arts A 30 and B30, Psychology 30, Physical Education 30, Law 30 (DLC), and Creative Writing 30 (DLC). He also received the Spirit of Sport graduation award for his passion and leadership on the basketball team throughout high school, as well as working with younger players and officiating. Joe received the following locally sponsored scholarships: the Davidson School SCC Scholarship, the Davidson Kinsmen/Kinette Scholarship, and the Dellene Church Law Office Scholarship. Joe is annoyed by slow walkers in the hallway—like bro moves (he says) and also people who make everything all about themselves. We wish you all the best, Joe!

Next to celebrate today is Samuel Edward Kinder, the eldest child of Erin and Craig Kinder. Sam has played football during his high school years and has a passion for working on small engines and bringing these rumbling engines back to life. He plans to attend Olds College in Alberta to train in Agriculture and Heavy Duty Mechanics and then work with his dad to expand the cattle herd and take responsibility for the ranch.

At the graduation exercises, Sam also received the following locally sponsored scholarships: the Young's Equipment Scholarship, the Western Sales Scholarship, the Vernon & Gwen Bailey Memorial Scholarship, and the Community Agriculture Award. Sam gets very annoyed when tools go missing and when people tell him to change things on his truck. He will remember tearing up the gravel with his truck and wants everyone to live life wide open. Best wishes, Sam!

On this Thursday, June 18th, we celebrate two more grads-- beginning with Sebastien Jeremiah Larsh-Cline, the eldest child of Natasha Larsh and Chris Cline. Sebastien has been a quiet member of this class, taking in his classmates' antics over the years with a smile and a nod. He plans to enter the workforce after graduation and take time to think about his future plans. Sebastien will always remember going outside for recess and gives the advice of the need to motivate yourself to do schoolwork. Best wishes Sebastien!
