Best Wishes

Posted July 5th, 2009 by admin

This Sunday we will be celebrating all our students, and their families, who are graduating from high school, college and various graduate programs. Like all life’s milestones, this graduation will be filled with both celebration and grief. Celebration because the work is successfully done and achievements acknowledged; and grief because goodbyes need to be said to people and places they have grown to love.

We will celebrate with them, because these young people are embracing their dreams, and at the same time we will experience the sorrow of knowing they will no longer be the children we know and love. It is a reality that we all share. We want them to grow into the independent, healthy and successful adults that they are, but at the same time we want them to stay the same. So we wave goodbye with a smile on our lips, tears in our eyes and pride in our hearts.

To all who, this year, finish one goal and move on to another, please take with you our pride and our love.
