Hello, dear Class of 2022! Welcome– one last time! We’ve been through all the ups and downs of high school together, so let’s continue to uplift each other for this final stretch. Remember that life is not a competition. Celebrate your friends’ successes, and surround yourself with people who will celebrate your own. It’s our duty to work together to make this year as fun and memorable as possible. Participate in school events (especially when they seem silly), be role models for underclassmen, and share your joys with one another. This is going to be our best year yet! Much love!
