What is a good example of Opening Remarks for recognition day for students?

Opening remarks for Recognition Day for students:

We are gathered here today to recognize those who have Excelled academically in the past school year. I am honored to have been asked to take part in this very special event. We no doubt have three groups in attendance here today - those who Excelled and will receive awards, those who worked hard and came up short of an award and. sadly. those who did not try at all. While we are pleased to take part in recognizing academic achievements, we encourage every one to find where your interests and abilities are and to pursue them. With that, on to the presentation of awards. and let us now remember happy and fun moments to share for the next school year.
