To the 2020 senior class,

I want to commend you for your ability to adapt to changing circumstances. When the year began, this senior class almost doubled in size when you welcomed so many seniors from Kingwood. You bonded over the senior retreat and homecoming activities. You joined hands and hearts to support Backpack Buddies. You worked with elementary students to create a reading buddy program and encourage our youngest students. Now you are enduring one of the most historic moments in our nation’s history. In the face of a pandemic you have managed to maintain your studies at Cornerstone while also doing all the things necessary to get into the colleges and universities where you will continue your education. I marvel at how well you have all handled these unusual circumstances. You have demonstrated faith, kindness, and thoughtfulness through all of the challenges.

Whatever your futures hold, know this: God has allowed these events into your lives because He knows what lies ahead. Whatever skills you are gaining, whatever lessons you are learning in these hard times, you will use them in your lives. God is protecting you now because He is preparing you for a future that is in His hands. Never forget Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

You have shown so much pride in your school, so much love for your classmates, and so much respect for your teachers! None of us will ever forget 2019-2020. Your leadership and example have made a difference. Your legacy will remain for many years to come.
