Wednesday - May 19: Carrying on a yearly tradition Wellsville's Mayor Joe Surace treated the Class of 2010 to breakfast last Wednesday. The breakfast was hosted by Pastor Troy Warner and the ladies of the First Christian Church on Main St. Keynote speaker was Ms. Kristen Taylor, Director of Admissions for Eastern Gateway Community College.
Taylor, a Steubenville native, graduated from Jefferson Community College, got her Bachelors Degree from Ohio Dominion and her Masters in Education from Capella University. After serving in a honor's program following college, which at one time landed her visiting the Oval Office in the White House, she returned home. She extolled the virtues of furthering your education beyond high school saying you never know what doors will open along the way. In audition to her job and motherhood Taylor is working on her doctorate. She told all the seniors at the breakfast that even being from a small town the doors to the world are open to each and every one of them no matter what goals they set for themselves. The important thing is to set specific goals and to keep your head on straight.
The Mayor was Master-of-Ceremonies for the breakfast. Pastor Troy offered the opening prayer and benediction, acknowledging his daughter as one of the graduating seniors. WHS's Ebony & Ivory sang a couple of selections. Each senior was presented a W.C. Bunting coffee mug decorated with the Wellsville Tiger as present from the Village.
