There is no doubt that today is very special to us as it signifies the end of our primary school education in Johnfort school. It seems like yesterday that we came into this great school as children but here we are today graduating as well – cultured boys and girls.
The journey of primary school education has come to an end. Johnfort school in no doubt has impacted a lot on us, she has transformed us into what we are today. Here we were taught to cherish the truth, we received kind words of advice support and encouragement all to make sure we came out successful. There are no words however pronounced or expressed can show our sincere gratitude to Johnfort school for the overwhelming nurturing she gave to us. Secondly I thank my parents Mr and Mrs Akingba for giving me the opportunity to be in Johnfort school and at whose expense, I am being brought up morally, socially, educationally and financially supported. I pray that God will spare and keep them alive to see me successful. The administrator, Mrs Ajiboye, my colleagues and I consider your administration a wonderful one. You have given Johnfort school the best in terms of infrastructure and academics. I therefore regard your tenure as a period of lofty achievements. May god reward you abundantly and continue to see you through so as to achieve more.
