So many things taken away from us. Such a sense of loss. And before moving forward, I think we need to take a moment and reflect on and remember some of those things that we individually and collectively lost. Individually, you missed out on so many of the activities, events, and everyday occurrences that a senior in every other year may take for granted. Simple things like hanging out in the quad, eating lunch together in the hallway, or being together at sporting event. Collectively, we lost out on being together as a senior class. We lost one of our classmates, Blake Cordage, passed away far too young. It's important to remember Blake tonight. And I'd like you to take a moment right now out of respect for Blake and his family and friends. Thank you. Although it's important to reflect on and remember all that was taken from us this year, conversely, it's critical to look at what you gained as well.

Resiliency, toughness, flexibility, adaptability. I would argue that the class of 2021 is more prepared than any other to enter the world because you were forced to adapt. And as you will see, adapting to your surroundings while being true to yourself is often most critical to your success. John Wooden, basketball coach and philosopher, said, "If we fail to adapt, we fail to move forward." If we fail to adapt, we fail to move forward. You were forced to adapt this year. You adapted to a new way of learning. You adapted to a new way of communicating. You adapted to a new way of completing everyday tasks. You adapted to a new way of being heard. You have adapted to these challenge before you and you've continued to move forward. In addition to adaptability, it's imperative to continue your learning journey. In their book, A New Culture of Learning, John Sely Brown and Douglas Thomas remind us that there is a world of learning available to us who choose to pursue it.

They write, "Learning an age of constant change simply never stops. In the new culture of learning, the bad news is we rarely fe reach final answers. The fact that you are sitting here in front of me proves that you've continued to learn regardless of the challenges that you faced. Regardless of the everchanging environment we were we were forced to be in, I urge you to take the skills you've utilized over the past four years and apply them to the next step of your journey. I urge you to continue to learn not just in the traditional ways. I urge you to learn whenever, wherever, and from whomever you might meet, whether you are agreeable or disagreeable with their point of view. Never cease any opportunity to learn, and you will continue to move forward. Class of 2021, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

sharing a bit about it great thank you very much last september the friends of the black run proposed this art contest people piece people the pines to dr smith and after i quickly provided a synopsis of yvesham's very unique cultural heritage he was instantly supportive soon a partnership formed a judging committee that included members of yvesham township's human rights advisory council the ysham township school district staff from the middle and middle school pta members helped create the contest framework and provided the background information about the history of our corner of the pine barrens in west jersey in january the contest launched and historical facts about our region and beyond were presented to the students then allowing them to take part of this history take part of this story to find artistic inspiration our four top place winners focused upon some key historical figures or synthesize the larger concepts woven into our history the story begins with the land which was one which was home of the original people beleni lenape descendants of the paleo natives who lived here ten thousand years ago during the last ice age when it was not pine barrens but tundra the lennie lenape were known as peacemakers among the algonquin tribes of the east coast region matriarchal people who recognized the equality of women within their society they were shrewd negotiators and defenders of the land which included all of new jersey eastern pennsylvania and delaware into upstate new york these people maintained control of their land longer than any other tribe on the east coast and perhaps because they had the good fortune to interact with the first swedes and finns who settled along the delaware river and established respectful and peaceful relationships with them then welcoming the english quakers in in burlington and then eveshum with whom they shared a world view of brotherhood tolerance and equality in other words they shared in common human rights therefore no war ever occurred in west jersey between the leni lenape and the english quakers our art contest challenged middle school students to digest these facts and interpret them sixth grader adele laurie our fourth place winner illustrated this diverse cultural heritage of respect and tolerance in her artwork and the hope that an inspiration of togetherness binds us as human beings the early quaker families some whose names may be familiar to you the inns keeps the wills and evans help found eve shim and in the early 1700s quakers were questioning the idea of keeping slaves as an immoral act one incompatible with christian teachings by the end of the revolutionary war that idea took hold and quakers began to free their slaves historical records show that evesham quakers began to free their slaves at this time and one of the first freed slaves in 8 james mintus was a bricklayer and he built a home which still stands on the corner of main street and maple avenue by the 1800s quakers had established the first international human rights effort to abolish slavery and secretly began the underground railroad thomas evans was a station master with three stations to hide and shelter runaway slaves in yvesham township our second place winner second grader soha kanjali's poem reflection to the future takes the imagery of being a slave on the run and projects it into the
