Kendra Denali Hergett has attended school in
Florence for 13 years. Along with being
valedictorian of her class, Kendra is an accomplished figure skater having competed and tested as a member of US Figure Skating since she
was 5 years old. Kendra has always dreamed of
following her dream of figure skating as a show

academic full ride through the Montana University System scholarship program she is choosing
to defer skating and instead pursue a degree in
Biomedical Engineering at Montana State
University in Bozeman, Montana. While attending Montana State University she will be
able to continue her clarinet studies under the
guidance of Dr. Young where she has received
an invitation to study as a non-major in his studio performing in woodwind ensembles with
other musicians. She will continue to skate and
coach with her fellow competitors in the
Bozeman Figure skating Club and will keep the
doors open to allow for show skating in the
future. Kendra wishes to thank all of the
teachers and the network of people throughout
the figure skating and music worlds who have
supported her and helped her to achieve this
honor.

teachers and friends for giving him encouragement
and support throughout his high school years.

Letter to the 2015 Graduating Class
Dear Graduates of the Class of 2015,
Congratulations! You have made it to the future, your future. It is amazing how fast time goes by. It was almost 40 years ago that I too sat in cap
and gown with anxious anticipation for the rest of my life to start. Yes, this is the beginning of the rest of your life! Before I talk about your future
let me talk about your past.
My how you have grown and matured. Remember how you would run around the playground after lunch and at recess, hanging out against the
walls during dances. Then came 8th grade and you grew a little taller and started dancing with each other. Some of you found love and some got
their hearts broken. Most of you have been here since kindergarten and those who are new you welcomed as friends for life.
You have won State Championships. You have had a wide variety of teachers, some you loved, some you didn’t but you learned from all of them.
You have been to other countries and shared your homes with students from other countries. You made new friends and lost some good ones along
the way. Through all of your successes and failures you have grown stronger, wiser, gentler and more caring.
As much as I would like to tell you what your future will be, I can’t. I can tell you that your life will be full of choices and you should choose
wisely. Do what is right even when no one is watching and you will be rewarded in the end. Good things happen to good people and you are good
people!
Thirty years from now I hope that you will be able to look back and remember the life lessons that you have learned and the good times that you
have had. Remember all of the people that have made a difference in your life and you in turn have made a difference in their lives. Go out and
continue to make a difference in someone’s life!
Sincerely,
Bud Scully
Superintendent
High School News
Mr. Bob Edgar Wins Montana Council Scouting Award
By Kristin Page-Nei
What often makes our great teaching staff shine is how they give back
to our community outside of the classroom. This rings true when
talking about Mr. Bob Edgar, our high school history/social studies
teacher who received a top Scouting award in April.
According to the Montana Council Boy Scouts of America’s Scout
Executive, Gordon Rubard, “The Silver Beaver is the top national
Scouting award a council may present to a registered Scouter for
exceptional service to Scouting.”
As one of the
eight award
recipients
from across
Montana,
Bob was honored for over
a decade of
service
to
youth through
Scouting. In
addition, he
demonstrates
community
service
outside of Scouting.
Scouting runs deep in the Edgar family. Both Mr. Edgar’s dad and
his son earned their Eagle rank through Boy Scouts of America. Bob
and his wife Cammie became heavily involved with Scouting when
their son Mitch became a Cub Scout in
first grade. This is where Bob started
the journey from Tiger Den Leader, to
Den Leader, Assistant Cubmaster,
Cubmaster, Scout leader, and Scoutmaster. Along the way he picked up
odd jobs in the District; leading the Cub
Scout Klondike, starting and leading an
annual Boy Scout Klondike, initiating
the District Spring Camporee, holding
Activity and Outdoor Program chairs, and reviving the Khona Chapter
of the Order of the Arrow. At the Council level, he staffed National
Youth Leadership Training and helped lead one of the Montana troops
at Jamboree.
When asked why he is a Scouter and what Scouting means to him,
Bob concludes, “I‘m a Scouter because I wanted for Mitch what
Scouting offers, and figured “one hour a week” would be a reasonable
amount of time to contribute. I’ve stayed active because it’s fun,
since I’ve been quite fortunate to have Scouters around me who do the
not-so-fun stuff (Thank you Cammie Edgar, Mary Beth Edens, Shon
Ostler, Billy Andrews, Mike Zielinski and Brian Miller.) Most importantly, Scouting gives me endless chances to do good in the
world.”
Some of the Scouting activities that he reminisces about include fireblackening every pot the family owns, learning to cook Dutch oven
desserts, discovering the most important word in the Scout Law, seeing his son Mitch earn his Eagle, rappelling off of what were otherwise perfectly safe rocks and teaching the one-leg-fly-by-dog-legshake to hundreds of Cubbies.
His commitment to Scouting and to our children has not gone unnoticed. It is a privilege to join with the Florence Community in congratulating him for this great achievement. Mr. Edgar hopes that he has
helped young men and women bring honor to themselves and the
Scouting program. Please join me in thanking Mr. Edgar the next
time you see him for the difference he has made and continues to
make in so many of our children’s lives.

Fine Arts Collaborate!
April 9th was a grand evening of performances by both the HS choirs and
bands. This was their chance to perform for their home crowd before
heading to the District II Music Festival in Missoula. The HS Concert
Band performed a piece based on the art work of Georgia O’Keefe entitled
“Blue and Green Music.” In the early 1900’s, O’Keefe painted a picture
with the goal to produce a vision of
music. Recently, Samuel Hazo, composer, wrote a piece to turn her vision
into music. It was an incredibly beautiful piece of music that moved both
performers and audience alike. The performance was wonderfully enhanced by Mrs. York’s art students who produced a piece of their own artwork using the principals of the beautiful music and O’Keefe’s painting.
District II & State Music Festival Once Again a Huge Success!
Congratulations to all high school music students who competed in the
District II and State Music Festivals this past spring! Once again we took
more students to these 2 festivals than ever before. Florence was definitely
well represented!
The FCHS Music Department
took 38 events to the District
Music Festival!! Of those 38, 18
got ratings of either “good” or
“excellent:” Natalia and Ethan’s
trumpet duet. Josie and Katie’s
oboe duet; Derek and Jacob’s
brass duet; Jethro’s trumpet
solo; Angela, Destini, Max and
Brooklyn’s clarinet quartet; Nathan L and Bryce’s snare duet;
Kendra and Torrey’s duet; Makayla and Katlin’s clarinet duet; Alli’s
flute solo; Caroline’s alto sax solo; Jackson’s alto sax solo; and vocal
solos by Azarel Noah, Kinzie Crue-Fowler, Justin Jones, Josh Jones,
Emaly Strickland, Sarah Juden, and Courtney Grapp.
The FCHS Concert Band received a “superior” rating.
The next batch of students received a “Superior” rating at District
(qualifying them for state) followed by an “Excellent” rating at State:
Dimetri and Kristin’s brass duet; Emily, Nichelle and Josie’s woodwind
trio; Gabe’s trombone solo; Tyler, Josh, Kayla, Natalia and Ashley’s
brass quintet; Gavin, Justin and Mitch’s brass trio;
Jacob and Sean’s
duet; Steven and Torrey’s brass duet; Nathan R and Sean’s sax duet;
Mitch’s trombone solo; both of Michael and Kristian’s sax duets; Connor
and Josh’s tuba duet; Kendra, Michael, Daniel and Kristian’s sax quartet;
Sean’s alto sax solo; and vocal solos by Kinzie Crue-Fowler, Courtney
Grapp, Justin Jones, and Azarel Noah.
The last batch of students received “Superior” ratings at both District and
State Music Festival 2015 – quite an honor!: Gordon’s piano solo;
Kendra’s clarinet solo; the FCHS Jazz Band and Josh Jones’s vocal solo.
What’s wonderful about this batch of kids is that not only are they musically talented, but over 90% of them are on the academic honor roll every
quarter! Once again, congratulations to all!

Unfortunately, Sophocles was unavailable for the aforementioned interview, and critics haven’t been given the opportunity to preview this
soon-to-be hit because the doors open for the debut performance on
Friday, May 29th, followed by just two more performances on the 30th
and 31st.
This year, our drama program has far surpassed any theatrical feat previously seen by the Florence public by going bigger and better in every
aspect of our production. A ntigone features a thrilling, original, heavymetal score composed and performed by Mr. Schmidt and company,
an expanded stage, enthralling choreography spectacles, a closer actorto-audience experience, and many more elements that make this play a
must-see theatrical revolution for our program.
This spin on Sophocles’ classic tragedy brings A ntigone into a postapocalyptic, chaotic, new atmosphere. The story begins with Antigone
(Emily Morrison) burying her brother, who had died in battle, against
the law and being condemned to death for it. As a result of this rebellious action, King Creon (Conner Copeland) and the people of Thebes
must decide where honor truly lies.
If you enjoy action, drama, tragedy, romance, and comedy, come support your local thespians and become immersed in a story so captivating that it is still being performed since it’s opening night in 441 BC.
We’ll see you there in the Old Gym! Showtimes are Friday, May 29
and Saturday, May 30 at 7:00 pm, and a Sunday matinee on May 31 at
2:00 pm. Tickets are $4 for adults, $2 for FCS students.
Director’s note: This is a TRAGEDY. And it will be LOUD. Viewer
discretion is advised.

Council News
The school year is winding down, and the Florence Student Council is
still in action! Summer’s almost here, but we’re hard at work improving
Florence High up until the very end.
Though our main focus is improving the lives of students, this month we
concentrated on expressing the student body’s gratitude towards our
amazing educators in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. We put together plates of goodies and distributed them among the High School
staff. Also, on the 19th of May, we hosted a brunch in our teachers’
honor, featuring delicious homemade breakfast burritos. Both teachers
and students alike had a wonderful time celebrating a year’s worth of
efforts toward excellence in education.
We’ve held elections for upcoming Student Council officers and representatives, and our new members will start their terms next school year.
Congratulations to our president Danika Greer, vice president Natalie
Drozdz, secretary Aimee Blackwell, and Treasurer Abbey Ostheimer.
Thank you so much for your community support in making this school a
better place! We’ve been able to do a lot of good this year, and we hope to
benefit Florence even more in the 2015-2016 term.
Have a fantastic summer, everyone! See you in the fall.
