I go to Mira Mesa, we're not even supposed to like Scripps, but it's ridiculous how the administration will not let Toni speak. For someone who has achieved as much as her and the fact she owns the title of valedictorian, it is just disrespectful of the administration not to let her speak.

I may be a little biased because Toni is my daughter, but she is exceptionally talented and extremely hard-working. She put a lot of thought and effort into her planned commencement address. It is absurd that she will be denied the opportunity and recognition given other valedictorians. The Scripps Ranch community is the real loser if Toni isn't allowed to speak. I am moved by the thoughtfulness of Toni's classmates for starting this petition. Thank you so much for your support of a truly amazing young woman.

How in the world can you even consider denying the Valedictorian the chance to address their graduating class?

The administration should really let the valedictorian speak. Yes, everyone deserves a chance to audition, but that should be in addition to the valedictorian. Toni is at the top of her class and is a great representation of Scripps Ranch High School in everything she does. Even ask her teachers, and they will tell you what a great student she is. She deserves to speak at her own graduation for all of the hard work she has put in. If anyone deserves to speak, it is Toni Bronars.

You're the best of the best but they don't think you're good enough to represent the school?

Yes, She should. I have no idea why not. I auditioned to read names and I wasn't chosen when I was so passionate about it. That shouldn't be stripped from her.

Toni is an incredibly intelligent, kind, eloquent, and down to earth person and it would be a shame if she were not allowed to speak at graduation. I feel so lucky to have made the acquaintance of someone who is truly beautiful inside and out.

As valedictorian, Toni Bronars deserves to speak at graduation. If the goal of the audition is to ensure a great speech. a valedictorian who makes it to the finals of the audition should absolutely be selected as one of the speakers. Please allow Toni Bronars the right to speak at the SRHS graduation.

Toni is a brilliant girl, and, as valedictorian, she has earned the right to speak at her graduation.

Toni's commitment to everything she does is incredible and inspiring. Her physical and mental strength is evident in all that she has overcome throughout her life. She is the picture of someone from whom everyone has much to learn and has qualities that many aspire to have. She is an accomplished role model that should be allowed to share her immense knowledge with future students, graduating students, alumni, and families, You go girl :)

I hope the administration allows the valedictorian to prepare a speech. Four years of hard work certainly demonstrates that they're deserving of it.

The valedictorian should be one of the chosen to give a speech. She worked hard for this honor in the last four years. Let her speak!
