Your accomplishments, your resilience, and the incredible growth you've shown over the past three years have made us all very, very proud of you. You've left a lasting mark on this school, and we will never forget you. And now, the moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived. Let's officially begin the celebration of your 8th grade [Applause] graduation. I'd like to begin by introducing our American Legion award winners, Mary Steady and Boris Faradnov, who will lead us in the pledge of allegiance in English. Sydney Leco and Stella Scales from
004our dual language program will also lead the pledge in Spanish. Please rise and remain standing for our pledge and then our national anthem as well. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. [Music] Thank you. Students, please stay on your feet and join us in the singing of the national anthem sung live by by our very own Kai Hilp, Thomas Ali, Nadia Sigura, and Mary Steady. [Music] Oh, say can you see by the dawn early light, what so proudly we at the twilight last gleaming, whose broad stripes and bright stars us through the perilous. Or the ramparts we watch were so galling and the rockets red glare. bursting in air gave proof
005through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star spangled yet for the land of the free and the home of the [Music] brave. Thank you, Panthers. Please be seated. Each year, two students are honored by our staff for exemplifying both academic excellence and outstanding citizenship. This year, I had the pleasure of joining these students and their families at the Illinois Principles Association breakfast awards ceremony. It was truly a joy to reflect on the journey, their journeys at Westmont Junior High, and to spend time with the families who have supported them every step of the way. It is my honor to introduce this year's IPA award recipients. Please welcome Aiden Henigan and Joanna Roadie as they share a few words with the class of 2025. Good evening parents, teachers, families, and
006friends, and most importantly, my fellow graduates here today. For some of us, middle school was a difficult transition from elementary school. It took us a while to get being at a new school, having different teachers for each subject, and dealing with the fact that there's no more recess. But look at us now. We made it. And tonight we dang it. We we celebrate not just finishing middle school, but everything we learned about who we are and who we want to become. Over the past three years, we faced challenges, had fun, made mistakes, and grown in many ways. I feel like I've personally grown in exponentially. One specific area I feel like I've shown tremendous growth is that of advocacy or advocating for myself. To me, this means I am able to seek out the support
007of others that I need in order to better myself and be successful. Because of this, I have the privilege of standing here tonight as one of the IPA award recipients and get the opportunity to speak with you all. While I did not spend all three of my junior time high here, dang it, I felt like I was still able to make good friends and make lasting memories. Who remembers getting student of the month and having a picture taken down at the office for hung up for everyone to see? How about our seventh grade trip to Springfield, visiting all of the different sites? A most recent memory for a lot of us that Washington DC trip. What great memories we had made on that trip like the airplane ride there and seeing California girls on the
008bus. All these great opportunities gave us the chance to learn together. have fun together and grow together. For this, I would like to thank all the parents for their support with school, sports, activities, and everything in between. Thank you to all the teachers for their support with school and with all the extra clubs, sports, and field trips. Without you all, we would not be where we are today. As we move on to our next adventure in high school, I think it's important to remember the words that we've heard Miss Quatron say oh so many times over the last three years. You are amazing. You are loved. We believe in you. Make yourselves a great day. Tonight, they take on a new meaning for us. They are a reminder that we have people who care about
009us, who believe in us, and know what we have it takes to succeed. So, with that, congratulations Westmont Junior High School class of 2025. Make yourselves a great next [Applause] chapter. Good evening everyone. Thank you so much for being here. My name is Joanna Roodie and I'm blessed to be able to stand before you today as a recipient of the Illinois Principal Award alongside Aiden. Before I begin, I want to thank the people who have made this speech possible. The support of my amazing group of friends, family, and the staff of WJHS have carried me here, and for that, I am very grateful. It's hard to believe we're already here and stepping into the next chapter. Time has gone by very fast. I still remember being a nervous sixth grader who was intimidated by the
010eighth graders who seemed so old. I remember getting lost in the hallways and walking into the completely wrong classes. But despite the challenges like IR testing and I ready diagnostics, we've had moments to enjoy ourselves. We had fun and educational trips to Springfield outdoor ed and Washington DC. We've fallen hard roller skating, bowled too many gutter balls, and even cheered on Miss Walsh as she rock climbed. We've had many great times in class, whether it be sharing stories on LARPs or watching all those amazing scenes of Romeo and Juliet. But middle school wasn't just fun. We've had to study for tests, memorize a prologue, and spend late nights studying. Some days were tiring, and we wanted to give up and spend all day in bed rotting. But we didn't, and we made it through. We
011pushed ourselves over the limits of what we imagined possible, and went above and beyond. We have our numbers to back that up. And now we have high school ahead of us. An exciting but harder journey. Whether we are going to Westmont High School or venturing off to another school, I have no doubt that we're ready. We've proven that we have what it takes. We've supported one another and grown in ways we not may not even realize yet. So, I want you to take pride in this moment and celebrate everything you've done. But remember, this is not the end of our education, though sometimes I wish it was. This is just the beginning. We've learned so much and we're ready to bring it with us to high school. As Harvey McCay once said, "A great accomplishment
012should not be the end of the road, just the starting point for the next leap forward." And we are definitely ready for that next leap. Thank you and congratulations to the class of [Applause] 2025. That was wonderful. Thank you. It is my pleasure to introduce a young man who truly represents our three pillars of Panther expectations. Our student body president, Derek Anders. [Applause] Good evening. Thank you for joining us tonight. My name is Derek Anders, your student council president. Before we take the next step in our lives, the beginning of high school, and our future, let's look back at how far we've come. Most of us have been together since kindergarten, while lovers have joined us throughout many throughout the years. Many of us are going to high school together, but some may be going
013to other high schools. These past three years have going have been gone have gone so have gone by so fast. It's hard to believe it's over. Junior high is a fun experience where you're growing up and ha and get to have more freedom in life. We can do more things now as we are older and we have more responsibilities. At Westmont Junior High, we have the three pillars. Be respectful, be responsible, and be safe. I think most of us followed those expectations. We also had we also had the responsibility to complete service hours. Those of us on this stage each completed 36 or more. Some of us have volunteered at the library while others provided service hours at pizza wars, family literacy night, or just helping staff members. During junior high, we take on more
014challenging tests than we ever taken before. We continue the IRSa at ready diagnostics and even part of the preac. We would not be able to learn and grow and be able and be the people we are now without our amazing sixth and seventh and eighth grade teachers. And let's also not forget our principal, Miss Graton, vice principal, Mr. Leinsky, and our amazing superintendent, Mr. Bodman. Finally, without the support of our family, we would not be here on the stage. Let's look back at all the good times we had here. Back in sixth grade, we w we were all nervous to start the junior high to start at the junior high. With the help of each other, we made it through the year. At the end, we celebrated our Renaissance fair. We were ready to be
015in seventh grade. We were more used to the junior high and started to be more comfortable. We got to learn about Abraham Lincoln and see where he lived on our Springfield trip to our state capital. I like learning about history, so this was a really fun experience for me. Finally, we were excited to be eighth graders. Eighth grade was fun because we were older and we got to do new things. Some of us flew to Washington, our country's capital. This was my first time out of state without my family, possibly others, too, and my very first time on an airplane. The bus ride was a lot of fun with our tour guide Josh and our chaperones. Finally, let's not forget our eighth grade dance, which was amazing. Thank you for the parents who made this
016night happen. That DJ was fun and we all had a blast. As we cross the stage in a few minutes, make sure to cherish these memories and time we had together. Get ready to make new memories in high school. Before I go, I would like to have a I would like to give a huge thank you to Miss Ryman and Miss Santenno for giving me a chance to join student council and all you do for the school. Thank you to my classmates and friends because we learned together over these three years and helped each other through every step of the way. I would also like to thank my family, my mom, my dad, and my brother Dylan for supporting me throughout these year awesome years. Congratulations, eighth grade of class of 2025. Now, let's make
017our high school years even better. Thank [Applause] you. And now, a few words for our class from our superintendent, Mr. Balderman. [Applause] Good evening to our parents and families who have supported our district and our wonderful students, to our schoolboard members, to Miss Quattro, Mr. Leinsky, outstanding administrators, to the incredible faculty and staff at Westmont Junior High School. Yes. Let's give it up for him. That's right. [Applause] and this outstanding class, eighth grade class of 2025. I am so unbelievably proud of you all for what you've done. One of my favorite experiences in my very long career happened in this very auditorium a couple of years ago when there was no air conditioning at the opening of the school year. Recall that it was incredibly hot. Remember get some Right. and we got to spend
018a couple days together in here with the staff talking about compassion, talking about giving back and lifting others up and being confident and believing in ourselves. And that is a result of being kind human beings who serve others. and also the growth mindset and academic excellence and citizenship and a championship vision that we should all have in our lives to strive for the things we dream of. And you took those days and worked incredibly hard with Miss Guatron and Mr. Leinsky and the amazing teachers at Westmont Junior High School and support staff and just did outstanding work. by any measure, the most improved middle school in the state of Illinois. That's not an opinion. That's what the Illinois State Board of Education said. And that is incredible work. Ranked number one in DuPage County out
019of 52 amazing schools. Ranked number two of any middle school or junior high in the state of Illinois. And then you went into your eighth grade year and you doubled down and did even better. You did that incredible work. And it's not something that's just given to you. You have to work for it. And you did. And I could not be prouder of you. Let's hear it for this incredible [Applause] class. Every administration meeting, we open up with an examination of attendance in the different buildings because if you don't show up in life, you can't learn. You can't maximize opportunities. No matter what path you take, you have to be present and work hard. And every single admin meeting, Mr. Leinsky, because he is the person who's primarily responsible, but it takes an entire team,
020we are blown away because guess who has the best attendance in the district? This class, this junior high. [Applause] Around the country, around the state, schools are struggling with chronic absenteeism and attendance. And it's a true national crisis. But at Westmont Junior High, the performance is exceptional. In single digits, it's pretty incredible. And you did that. You made that happen by coming up and showing up every day and working hard. And I know most of you will walk across the street and attend this amazing high school. And to everybody, whether you're coming here or not, you have a great future because of who you are. And we couldn't be prouder of you. And really, what makes a high school are the teachers, the admin, the staff, and the incredible students. And you're going to carry
021on the tradition of excellence that you have established. I couldn't be more proud of you. I seriously love you as young people and citizens. You are leaders today and you've made great things happen during your junior high school career. Continue your excellence. We are most proud of you. [Applause] Thank you, Mr. Alderman. There we go. We're very grateful for you and you inspire us and we really appreciate you. So, thank you so much. Tonight, we celebrate an incredible group of students, the eighth grade class of 2025. And let me tell you, this is CLA one class I will not forget. You are motivated. Whether it was pushing yourself in academics, giving it all in in your athletics, or just being the first to leap up and hit the hallway doorframe, you went after your goals
022with heart and hustle. You are competitive. Some of you could turn anything into a challenge, like racing to finish your math test first or seeing who can run past Mrs. Richie in the hallway without her catching you. You are talented. From musicians and artists to athletes and writers, your abilities have truly amazed us. Though I'm still debating whether stuffing 20 talkies in your mouth at once qualifies as a talent, but is it is impress impressive. You are resilient. You've faced challenges, learned from them, and proven that no obstacle is too big when you've got grit, determination, and maybe a little help from chat GPT. Just kidding. And most importantly, you are kind. Whether it was holding the door open for others or helping your fellow peers pick up all of the belongings they dropped in
023the hallway, you're kind of showed up in ways that mattered. You are the grade level that always had each other's backs. And that kind of care doesn't go unnoticed. Watching you grow these past few years have been one of the greatest joys of my career. I've laughed with you, learned from you, and been have been inspired by your hearts. I will miss you all dearly. Your energy, your spirit, and yes, even your hallway shenanigans. As you head off to high school, I hope you carry with you the lessons you've learned here. Be kind, work hard, and never underestimate the power of showing up as your true self. Go chase big dreams. And if you ever feel uncertain, remember you survived junior high and you can survive anything. Congratulations, class of 2025. I'm so proud of
024you. You've left your mark on Westmont Junior High and you've definitely left your mark on our hearts. Now, since I know this class in particular has its own way of saying things, let me put my speech in your terms just to make sure it really lands. Yes. Yo, chat of 2025. From day one, you all were cooking, motivated, competitive, talented, and straight up resilient. Like, some of you were out there turning hallway walks into the Olympics. Low-key impressive. For real. For real. this class and not capping. You might be the goats of junior high. Facts. Whether you were in class hyping each other up or making Tik Toks during lunch. Yes, I saw you. You kept things interesting. Some of it was fire. Some of it was cringe, bra, but all of it unforgettable. You've
025got big dreams, big vibes, and just the right amount of dulu to believe anything's possible. Goals. Honestly, you all stood tall this year. 67 energy every time you walked in the room. I'll miss you more than you know. You all made my job fun. You're chill. Bet. Now go do big things. Peace out, legends. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] And now for our principal award winners.

Blue represents English and red represents Spanish, combining the two colors to make purple. Students, when you hear your name, please come to the stairs for a picture. Danny Opierre, Abraham Garcia, Daniela Garcia Davalos, EMTT Hawkins, Edwin Hernandez Vasquez, Maxwell Hoover, Rulo Leon Alvarez, Adam Leco, Sydney Leco, Ryder Mahachek, Maximilliano Mesa, Ashlin Patterson, Gavin Pleming, Stella Scales
030and James Wilson. Congratulations, Panthers. [Applause] This school year has been both challenging and exciting for all of us. Thank you to our exceptional Panther staff who poured their passion and perseverance into every moment. Your unwavering commitment to our students, your boundless compassion, and your fierce dedication to this calling are truly unmatched. This year has been another remarkable chapter in our journey together, and I consider it a true privilege to work alongside each of you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much. [Applause] At this time, we would like to honor our WJHS retiree, Mrs. Jane Quetch. Jane Quetch has been such an integral presence at Westmont Junior High. She's not just part of our team. She's woven into the very fabric of who we are. We will miss her dearly. Jane, will you
031please stand up to be honored by Sassid administrator Tara Carral? [Applause] Hello. Um, I'm Tara Carell. Um, I'm giving Jane a little reprieve. Um, I see her standing over there, though. Um, I am honored to be up here. Um, Miss Qu has been a teacher of the deaf and heart of hearing program for 32 years. Um, a really cool thing about her career is that it's almost all of it has been at Westmont Junior High. And for a SAS teacher or a teacher working for a cooperative, that's a really rare thing. Um, and I'd like to thank district 2011 for really having that strong partnership with Sassid and allowing our program to be here that time and for Jane to build those strong relationships with the Westmont staff and really, as Miss Quattron said, be
032a part of the family here and the community here. Um, sorry, I'm nervous, too. Um Jane found a home here in 2011 and um I believe has really become a staple here. Uh she never takes a sick day. She's the first car in the parking lot every morning. And if you aren't here at that hour to see that and come at a more reasonable hour, you'll see her in the commons welcoming students during her morning supervision. She's the first to volunteer to help. um whether a staff member is looking for assistance or there's a family that's going through a hardship, she's amazing. She's an amazing colleague. She is sought out and respected. When she talks, we listen. When we talk, she might correct our grammar. And I'm good with that because she's an expert. In
033fact, um I'm sad to lose her voice as part of our team because she has expertise in a very unique field um and a specific discipline that's going to be really difficult to duplicate. I'm really having a hard time accepting that she won't be here next year for those literacy discussions or for really any part of our school day. She is so influential and impactful. On a personal level, I met Jane 20 years ago when I was starting my career and she was influential in me becoming a teacher. And as her supervisor now many years later, she's been influential in the way I lead because I look for teachers like her every day. And I'm looking for the qualities that she has in my new teachers that will someday take her place. Jane is a
034leader. She is loyal. She is dedicated. She is an advocate. She is a mentor. She's your kid's favorite teacher. It has been an honor to know Jane and work with Jane. And I know any student that walked in her classroom is better because of it. We are eternally grateful for your 32 years of service. Congratulations. [Applause] Thank you. That was beautiful for a beautiful person. Mary Steady and Boris Verdenov, please come to the podium. Mary and Boris were honored this year with receiving the American Legion Award. Those who receive this medal must exemplify six qualities that define character: courage, honor, leadership, patriotism, scholarship, and service. It is an honor to introduce Mary and Boris with a request from the eighth grade class. Hello, we are Mary and Boris and we are the winners of the
035American Legion Award. Thank you all for coming tonight. We worked we all worked very hard to make it here and we are excited to finally graduate middle school. However, before the diplomas start to be handed out, we have a request. We want to ask all of you to hold your applause until after all the graduates have received their diplomas. This helps the graduation go by faster and smoother. It also saves some middle from eighth some eighth grade students from being embarrassed. I don't think anyone would want their mom crying, "My little baby's all grown up now in front of all their friends." Thank you for listening and you hope we hope that you all have a good time. Thank you both. Reading the names of the graduates will be our assistant principal and helping me
036to award diplomas will be our school board member, Adena Hoover. Students, as you walk across the stage in a few short moments, you mark the beginning transition from your junior high school education to the start of your high school years. I hope you cherish every moment of this time and make sure that when you walk up here on stage, you shake, take, and smile. Good job. Good job. Mr. Leinsky, please come to the podium.
