Jason Kendrick Brown

Jason Kendrick, words cannot express how
proud we are of you. We watched you grow
from a Pre-Kindergartener to now a Fifth
grader. Now as you head into middle school, we
hope you take with you the skills and
knowledge your Lonnie B. teachers taught you.
From your Pre-K teacher Ms. Collins all the way
to your Fifth-grade teacher Ms. McCloud,
remember each teacher has left a lasting
impression in your heart and mind. We know
you will face obstacles heading into middle
school but remember your mom and dad will
always be there for you. We are looking forward
watching you grow and chase after your
dreams. Remember to reach high, breathe easy,
and always smile. Do not be afraid of change,
only the best can come out of it. -Love Mom
and Dad-
—Jason Kendrick Brown—
The joy Jason Kendrick gives us cannot be
measured by words. We’re so very proud and
grateful to be his Grandma and PopPop. Our
thought we leave to him: “Do your Best; Expect
the Best.”

Brennen Drayton

Wow bud, you’re on the road to
middle school and I can’t believe how
much you’ve grown the last few
years. I am so incredibly proud of all
of the hard work you’ve put into both
your academics and your character! I
have watched you overcome so
many obstacles throughout the years
and each time you’ve learned to
handle challenges with a bit more
grace and positivity. As you transition
into this next chapter in life, I hope
you remember all of the things
you’ve learned at Lonnie B! Keep
making silly jokes, be kind to
everyone, and don’t forget you have
the power to be an amazing leader,
so don’t ever follow anything but your
own heart!
I love you sweet friend!

Jason Jamel Epps

Congratulations on
your 5th grade
graduation! You have
now completed
elementary school and
are 11 years smarter,
wiser, and funnier! We
are so proud of you
and the young man
and leader you are
becoming. You are a
great son, brother,
grandson, and nephew.
Keep being you
because you are
AWESOME!
Love You!

Sean Jacob Gaddy

Sean Jacob I am so proud of all your
accomplishments throughout your elementary
school journey. You've set many goals, and
you've almost crushed them all! You are a
heaven sent gift from God with many gifts, and
talents that keep on giving. I pray as you
continue to grow, that you continue to set
goals, and go after them with everything in you.
I pray the Lord continue to strengthen, and
reveal to you just who you are in Christ. This
journey hasn't been easy, and neither will the
ones to come. One thing I know for sure is you
NEVER gave up. I pray you continue to have
that tenacity for life. You have taught mommy
so much, but most of all throughout this
journey you've taught me how much I
LOOOVVVE YOU! You will continue to do even
GREATER things in life. I just pray God
continues to give me a front row seat, so that I
can continue watching how "fearfully and
wonderfully" made you are. You will always be
my baby, no matter how old you get.
Congratulations Sean Jacob Gaddy on your new
journey to MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!

Christian James Horton

We have watched in amazement
and great joy as you've grown into

talents, the sky is the limit. We're
so proud of you! You are a great
example, hard worker, talented,
kind and thoughtful person.

We love you to the moon and
back.

Janiyah Jean-Gilles

Another significant
achievement! In many
ways, it was a difficult year,
but it was also a fantastic
year. We are incredibly
proud of you! You're a
gifted student, a diligent
worker, and above all, a
thoughtful and caring
person. We've watched with
awe as you've grown into
the person you are now,
and we're looking forward
to seeing what you become.
The sky is the limit with
your creativity and
dedication! Congratulations
babygirl, you did it!

This year has been unique and challenging
