Blue Ridge School celebrated the completion of an unusually difficult year with the graduation of 42 students from 11 states 和 7 countries on 2021年5月29日. Recently relaxed guidelines for outside gatherings allowed for a large crowd to assemble on the front 法律n.
校长 旅行达林 thanked both the students 和 their families for their perseverance, 奉献, 和 patience during the past 15 months of p和emic-affected education. He then made a special point to recognize seven members of the graduating class who were not able to return to campus from their homes in China because of p和emic-related travel restrictions. Those students were especially missed on this occasion.
The featured speaker at the ceremony was English Teacher 和 Assistant Athletic Director 帕克?. 他告诉毕业生们, “As you take this next step 和 dive into this exciting time of your life, 找到平衡. While you may want to enjoy everything around you, know that you yourself must be true. 过好每一天，充实地生活. Keep an eye on your future but stay present in the moment. The truth is that goals give your future purpose 和 joy gives the present its meaning.”
Two members of the senior class shared memories 和 thanks with their classmates 和 families. 卡尔佩珀的本·福克纳说, 维吉尼亚州, spoke about two 领导 philosophies he learned in class: “The first was “En勇气 the Heart” – accomplishing extraordinary things in organizations to keep hope 和 determination alive. Even though during our last year of high school we were stuck on campus, 你们每个人都互相帮助. Everyone en勇气d others to reach May 29th 和 complete the school year together. When someone was having a bad day, someone else was there to pick him up. The second one is “Inspire a Shared Vision” – envision the future 和 create an ideal 和 unique image of what the organization can become. Everyone here, including faculty, inspires a shared vision. We wanted to finish the school year on campus 和 have a normal graduation. On the behalf of the senior class, we thank you for keeping us safe during a dark time in America. And the seniors – we all inspired a shared vision of graduating 和 jumping in that lake.”`
米德兰高中班主席阿里Tejani, 德州, thanked his teachers 和 his parents 和 told his classmates: “We have reached our biggest milestone yet; a culmination of grit, 努力工作, 在我们年轻的生命中奉献. 有了蓝岭提供的教育, along with the lessons we have learned both on our own 和 with our Baron Brothers, we are ready to embark on whatever journey we have ahead. 无论是一个有前途的商业生涯, 医学, 法律, 美高梅官方网站app, 或运动, everyone in the graduating class of 2021 is well prepared for the next chapter of their life.”
