Examples of weekend in a Sentence

1. Stanley Spinner:

   During one of this weekend's commencement ceremonies, we were inappropriately aggressive in rushing students across the stage. I personally apologize, and am reaching out to the students involved, the practice has been halted for all future ceremonies, and we will work to make sure all graduating students know we are proud of their achievements and celebrate with them their graduation.

3. Sarah Sanders:

   Waters yelled at a cadre of reporters outside the Speaker’s Lobby who were asking her about her comments. She also refused to answer questions about whether her remarks are bad for her party. Waters has faced bipartisan criticism for her weekend comments to a crowd of supporters in Los Angeles. After White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen were pressured to leave restaurants last week amid the backlash over family separations at the border, Waters had urged the crowd to keep up the pressure. If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.

4. Takashi Ito:

   The market's expectations on aggressive U.S. rates cut had been rising but the mood has changed over the weekend.

5. Patrick Salomon:

   We understand the need to no longer subsidize fuel, but it's also important to understand that the losses we had this weekend is more than what we would gain from the new prices. We can't do it the same way next time.
