going to let you in on a little secret: Don’t Panic, you got this! Everything you need to be successful you already learned in kindergarten.

In Kindergarten We Were Told To Always Be Kind. Let people have front cuts or back cuts, share your food, greet people with a smile and a fresh start. Treat everyone as though they may be dealing with some

Put Your Name On It! Remember how important it was that you wrote your name at the top of every paper in kindergarten!? It’s important because YOU and YOUR WORK are important. Be proud of who you are. Your opinions matter. Speak up. Take pride in what you do and do your best!

You Learned How To Read, Write, And Do Math Never stop learning. Always strive to be a better version of yourself today than you were yesterday. Challenge yourself intellectually. Push yourself physically. Try new things. Be ok being uncomfortable, as great things rarely happen within our comfort zone.

Kindergarten Was One Yearlong Lesson of Cleaning Up Your Messes Life will be messy. Sometimes it’ll be your fault, and many times, it’ll be due to the knuckleheads around you. Be quick to apologize and slow to anger. Make your

You Spent Much of Kindergarten Asking Lots of Questions Never stop asking questions. Never accept the status quo. Be inquisitive. Think outside the box yet become amazing at working and being creative inside the box.

We are so excited to see all the great accomplishments and experiences the future holds for you. Be kind, be you, and be a little better every day! - Dr. Rob Darling

Graduation by Vitamin C

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives

Where we’re gonna be when we turn 25

I keep thinking times will never change

Keep on thinking things will always be the same (Same)

But when we leave this year, we won’t be coming back

No more hanging out ‘cause we’re on a different track

And if you got something that you need to say

You better say it right now

‘Cause you don’t have another day

‘Cause we’re moving on, and we can’t slow down

These memories are playing like a film without sound

And I keep thinking of that night in June

I didn’t know much of love, but it came too soon (Too soon)

And there was me and you, and then it got real blue

Stay at home talkin’ on the telephone

And we would get so excited, and we’d get so scared

Laughing at ourselves thinking life’s not fair

And this is how it feels

As we go on, we remember

All the times we had together

And as our lives change, come whatever

We will still be friends forever

So if we get the big jobs, and we make the big money

When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?

Will we still remember everything we learned in school?

Still be trying to break every single rule

Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?

Can Heather find a job that won’t interfere with her tan?

I keep, keep thinking that it’s not goodbye

Keep on thinking it’s a time to fly

(Ooh ooh ooh)

And this is how it feels

As we go on, we remember

All the times we had together

And as our lives change, come whatever

We will still be friends forever

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Yeah, yeah, yeah

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (We will still be friends forever)

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?

Can we make it somehow?

Can we survive it out there?

I guess I thought that this would never end

And suddenly it’s like we’re women and men

Will the past be a shadow that will follow us ‘round?

Will these memories fade when I leave this town?

I keep, keep thinking that it’s not goodbye (It’s not goodbye)

Keep on thinking it’s a time to fly

As we go on, we remember (We remember)

All the times we had together

And as our lives change, come whatever (Come whatever)

We will still be friends forever (Always)

As we go on, we remember (As we go on)

All the times we had together (Yeah)

And as our lives change, come whatever (Come whatever)

We will still be, friends forever

As we go on, we remember (Oh, yes, we remember)

All the times we had together

And as our lives change, come whatever

We will still be friends forever (Always remember)
