In 2013, the first <br />graduation ceremony was for the International High School, quickly <br />followed by Sheldon, Churchill, Thurston, and South Eugene high school <br />ceremonies. Backstage the halls were filled with nervous laughter, speech <br />rehearsals, photos being snapped and tagged, lots of high-fives, tears, hugs, <br />and a wonderful sense of celebration, achievement, milestones, and honors. <br /> <br />The Silva Concert Hall provides a graceful back drop for the <br />students, their families, teachers and school administrators. Over the <br />course of the month, more than 9,500 graduates pass through the <br />Hult Center basking in the glow of achievement. One never tires of <br />seeing the students in their caps and gowns standing on the steps of <br />the Studiocade having their class picture taken. These special <br />moments are savored, shared and remembered forever. <br /> <br />Graduation post-it notes can be spotted on the Hult 30 Post-it Wall <br />in the Lobby. These fun commemorations are welcome <br />contributions to the ongoing celebration of the Hult Center’s 30 <br />th <br />birthday. <br /> <br />For more information, contact Hult Center for the Performing Arts Marketing and Outreach Manager Libby Tower <br />at 541-682-8380 or Libby.j.tower@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> <br />Celebrate Recreation in July <br />In July, the Recreation Division will celebrate recreation and its many <br />surprising benefits. For instance, according to a study by California State <br />Parks, "social bonds are improved when families recreate together and <br />when seniors and individuals with disabilities are actively engaged in <br />recreation activities." <br /> <br />Furthermore, the study found these interactions “unite families, encourage <br />social sensitivity and support seniors and individuals with disabilities." <br /> <br />Several events planned by Recreation this summer, such as We Are Bethel Celebration, Echo Hollow Pool's Neighborhood <br />Block Party, the Campbell Center Ice Cream Social and Summer in the City - Movies in the Park, among many others, <br />provide opportunities for individuals and families to realize these benefits. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />June 27, 2013 <br />
