he Knights of 2012 rallied together one last time for graduation. Salutatorian Kelsey Cunningham offered words of wisdom from the late author Shel Silverstein: “Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me. Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” Bermuda District School Board member Carrie Coyner told grads to pursue their dreams. “Be bold, be creative, be self-confident and never stop learning,” she said. “And if you have time, invent the next Facebook.” About 550 students graduated in a ceremony hosted at the Stuart C. Siegel Center at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond Thursday, June 7.
