004thank you all for coming today to celebrate these past 13 years with us the last time i was at a graduation ceremony was june 8th 2014 to celebrate my cousin dylan this would also be the last time my family was complete two days later my grandparents tragically passed away today there are two seats in the audience that should be filled by my wonderful grandparents melantarian my grammy and grampy even though they cannot be here today i know they are watching me from heaven and beyond proud even though their passing was very detrimental and heartbreaking they taught me lessons that i'll forever cherish my grandparents were not only the best grandparents and parents that you could ask for but they were also the best people my grammy was the most precious and sweetest soul that i
005will ever encounter she gave her all to everyone even if she received nothing in return some of my favorite memories with her was when we would visit the nursing home and pray and speak with the residents there it made the residents day and they were always excited to see her and grateful for her visits most of these people were forgotten by their own families but not forgotten by my grammy she always made the people around her feel special she would always play barbies with my sister and i and cook us the most delicious meals my sister and i's favorite chicken nuggets mashed potatoes and broccoli my grampy was the most was very soft-spoken and the most perfect man that you could ever ask for he was wise but he did not have to be the
006loudest in the room he could enter the room and you would not even notice he was gentle and kind a total hippie from the 60s he was always content with what he had and took life at a slow pace even even his driving which probably never reached more than 40 miles an hour he was appreciative of what he had and who he had my grammy taught me to do good in this world even if the world and the people in it do not treat you the same way your good changes lives even if it does not feel like it my grandpa taught me taught me that you do not have to be the loudest to be the wisest you not have to have a fancy house and lots of money to live a happy and
007peaceful life he taught me to romanticize my life and appreciate the little things like listening to the beatles and playing wiffle ball in the backyard my grandparents have also taught me unconditional love my grandparents were the most in love people that i have ever seen i've never seen a man love someone like my grandpa love my grammy i've never seen a woman care about someone the way my grammy cared about my grampy it was tragic that they passed away at the same time but they would not have wanted it any other way they were soul mates they also showed my mom and aunt titi unconditional love even though they had trouble makers for children my grandparents still loved them no matter what they also showed each of their grandchildren what is like to be loved
008dylan christian came lily and i will never feel feel loved like the way my grandparents loved us no love will ever compare to that of my grammy and grampies as we all embark on a new journey and begin the start of our individual lives i hope that you choose to live like my grammy and grampy i hope you give your all to this world even if the world does not give its all to you when life gets tough choose to still give your all choose to give rather than receive just like my grammy did i hope that you choose to love the little things about your life like my grampy did appreciate eating cake on your birthday and the tupes in the spring appreciate dancing the hairy styles on vinyl alone in your room in
009the pink and blue of the sunset do not base your happiness on success or money but rather those little things that bring you joy the most important thing that i want you all to learn from my grammy and grampy is to choose to love love heart and love fiercely love without worrying about whether or not you will receive it back if we choose to love rather than hate our world will be a much better place with all of your adventures and struggles in the future i hope that love is your response i wish you all the love and happiness in your future endeavors be a lover give love choose love love everyone always thank you [Applause] please welcome please welcome the senior class president mr jacob contreras to deliver to deliver his address to the
010class of good afternoon faculty staff friends family and community members and fellow graduates my name is jacob contreras and i have had the pleasure of representing this year's graduating class as their student body president and before i begin my cliche and cheesy speech i'd like to thank a few people who have helped me get through these past years at gemtown i would first like to thank my mom for how much she supports me in everything that i do and is always there for me when i need her i would also like to thank my dad for how much he supports me and for all the selfies that he takes even when i don't want to next i'd like to thank my friends and classmates for making these past years more enjoyable and memorable and lastly
011i would like to thank miss bachmann for all the life lessons she has taught me and for being such a great role model in my life and everyone else's lives also thank you miss bachmann for dealing with my breakdowns during march man season and putting up with all my jokes through the years would you join me now for a quick moment of silence for tyler baker brady parsons and anyone else who i would who would have been walking across the stage with us today and may they always be a part of the class of 2022 it is hard to think that just 13 years ago we began our school journey and that we are here today to walk across the stage and become alumni of gemtown high school over the years so many things have
012taken place and i would like to take some time to reminisce on the memories and accomplishments of the class of 2022. while i might not have started as a jimmy we began our school journey in the fall of 2009 when the black eyed peas hit song boom boom pow and i got a feeling spent 26 consecutive weeks on the music charts fast forward to interme intermediate school and i remember one of the highlights was spending our parents money at the scholastic book fair instead of actually buying books in 2016 team usa brought home 121 olympic medals as they competed in rio brazil as we moved on to junior high while junior high might have been awkward years for a lot of us where we started to grow and change mr stoner made it enjoyable by
013blaring championed by carrie underwood or sweet caroline every friday to wrap up the week i will also never forget the tour of the state's song thanks a lot mr stoner as we moved on to our new adventure that is high school we were not alone as mr stout loved our class so much that he moved over to the high school with us we started the fall of our freshman year with some big accomplishments for our school with our girls filling in for the seniors during powder puff making it to the championship and then to finish out our fall activities our marching band competed for the very first time in school history at semi state with their show entitled mirrored images finishing up our first year in high school with a bang our softball team brought
014home a sectional championship title which will always be a great accomplishment in the headlines as we moved into our sophomore year astronomers discover and release a picture of a black hole for the first time and across the sea prince henry and meghan markle have their first baby archie many of us turn 16 which means we start getting our licenses and hearings stay off the roads and for some of my fellow classmates i'm not quite sure how you manage to get your license considering your parking jobs every day but that's besides the point our football team was on fire throughout the season but we happened to come up just a bit short at this sectional championship against marion then came spring and the dreaded word covid our class along with everyone else experienced the pandemic of
015kovid 19 which led to the shutdown of school sports and practically everything around us it was tough to say goodbye to everyone as our school year was cut short and no one knew what to expect as the pandemic raged on we persevered as we came back the next year despite all the mass and vaccine mandates that seemed to change by the minute but next came the 2020 election which to me sounded like two old men fighting in a retirement home rather than a presidential campaign but one thing i know for sure is i'm a little disappointed kanye west did not succeed with his campaign one of the highlights of the winter sports season was landon buchanan going far in wrestling and representing our class in school well as he traveled down to indianapolis to compete
016at state finals the softball team was successful once again as we finished our junior year by winning conference i think i can say this on behalf of my classmates but i believe our senioritis kicked in way before actually starting our senior year but that might just be me elon musk company spacex had their first successful splashdown as the first private company to do so while back here on earth our football team won conference along with the conference win our girls powder puff won their second consecutive title and we wrapped up our last homecoming with my dear friend and vice president sophie allen being crowned homecoming queen to top off all the wins and excitement of fall sports and activities the gemtown marching band made history once again as they traveled to lucas oil stadium to
017perform at state finals for the very first time i personally have never been more proud of a group of people and i'm glad we got to finish our marching band season by mark marching at lucas oil landon buchanan once again made his way down to india for wrestling and ended his fantastic career by finishing fifth at state in february we completed our last and final jimmy olympics by winning the jimmy hammer and putting a great ratatouille hallway together even though we made miss polson panic throughout the whole process in march our theater program put together a fantastic performance of charlotte's web where elizabeth surface played a terrific and radiant charlotte in april our track baseball softball tennis and golf teams kept us busy as we slowly began to bring our senior year to a close
018and in may we danced the night away at our last prom and our student council threw together our first spring spectacular week while my high school experience might not have been straight out of the high school musical movies we definitely made memories i hope will last a lifetime well here we are at the end of our senior year sitting in our maroon or white cap and gowns about to start the next chapter of our lives i hope that all of you before me make a life for yourself that you are proud of and that you will be content wherever you may go i believe that all of you are made for greatness and made for a purpose and that you are loved by others it has been a pleasure to grow up alongside each and
019every one of you and i hope that maybe someday we will meet again i leave you with this quote from disney's happily ever after and so our journey comes to an end but yours continues on grab a hold of your dreams and make them come true for you are the key to unlocking your own magic now go let your dreams guide you reach out and find your happily ever after congratulations to the class of 2022 i wish the best for all of you and may god bless i now welcome our principal mr fletcher to lead us through the rest of our program good afternoon and welcome again to gemtown high school's 109th commencement ceremony i'm so very proud and eager to preside over today's ceremony it's always a joy to celebrate the achievements of our
020seniors and this class is no different before we move along i have several people i wish to thank i would like to start with mrs kathy bachman and the gemtown band for their wonderful kickoff to the ceremony today did a great job guys she and the marching band had a fantastic year the marching jimmies finished 10th last fall in the state marching competition thanks to mrs bonkman's coaching and tutelage and for her hard work she was also recognized as gemtown high school's teacher of the year congratulations again mrs bonkman appreciate you [Applause] i would also like to thank our senior class sponsors mrs poulston and mr gingrich you guys did a phenomenal job again in coordinating and putting together today's ceremony appreciate you both [Applause] i have to give a shout out to our counselors

022it's going to happen sometimes you can't wait for it to happen and then it happens and you're proud you're filled with joy and proud proudness and you just really want to celebrate your children and that's why we're here today we're here to celebrate this senior classes accomplishment so i ask that during the program we are all cognizant of each and every one in the audience who would like to hear and see their graduate cross the stage and hear their name when they are recognized let's make sure we keep today's event special and rev room and as the class of 2022 sits before us ready to close an important and monumental chapter in your lives i'm reminded of a quote from author and professor isaac asimov he once said quote education is not something you finish
023while we will attest today that every jimmy on this football field has completed their high school career just remember you haven't finished your education some of you will start college and meet new challenges and grow your minds via formal education some of you will enlist in the military and receive that special kind of education only the military can provide right mr cell others of you will join the workforce and continue to learn lessons that real world experiences offer and provide you no matter how you get it no matter how you receive it you will continue to be educated and i honestly believe there is one thing and one thing only in this world that every one of us truly has as our own and that is our education your education is truly yours forever the
024material things in your life can be taken away you can lose them but no one can take away the things that you put in your head those experiences facts processes and memories you have stored in your mind those are what makes each and every one of you special an individual i encourage you to continue to develop you on your journey through life keep an open mind find opportunities even in your ad adversities to continue to seek knowledge and work to understand yourselves and the world around you better and the cool part is when you become a parent yourself and you anticipate this day for your children you get to play a vital role in educating them just know that you are not yet a finished product none of us are and that's okay because your
025education as mr asimov said is not complete in fact it will never be finished i have faith that you all do wonderful things with your lives and just know that i appreciate each and every one of you thank you for being the class of 2022 at this time i would like to acknowledge some special people with us today starting with our class officers these young people have demonstrated great leadership during their high school careers they have also stood out for their dedication to our school please stand and call as i call your name and be recognized but please hold your applause until they've all been announced you've already met a couple of these folks mr jacob contreras served as class president thank you jacob miss sophie allen was the class vice president good job sophie

032going through this ceremony tells everyone here that you have successfully finished the race you have run your race and you'll get your prize the high school diploma each of you is now getting ready to embark on your next journey as mr pletcher said some of you your next step will be college some of you will actually be going off into the workforce and yet others will be enlisting into the military to serve our country whichever path you take enjoy the journey because along the way it's going to be an adventure for most of you your recent journey began approximately 13 years ago when you entered kindergarten what an exciting time in your life you were human sponges soaking up the learning experiences non-stop throughout each and every day many of you couldn't wait to ride
033the school bus to eat the school lunch learned to read get homework and yes there was recess i can still hear the sounds of the playground the screaming and the laughter of you playing with your friends i remember a book entitled all i really need to know i learned in kindergarten that book was first published in 1986 some 36 years ago but its core message is still relevant today as ever most of your lessons that you learned in kindergarten will carry you through the rest of your lives here are just a few of the lessons from the book that you possibly learned in kindergarten share everything play fair don't hit people put things back where you found them clean up your own mess don't take things that aren't yours say you're sorry when you hurt
034somebody flush when you go into the world watch out for traffic hold hands and stick together and last but not least warm cookies and cold milk are good for you as i look back and think there is still a lot of merit in those words you quickly wrapped up your elementary experience and it was off to see mrs brubaker as you cruise through the intermediate building heading to the junior high the mirror words junior high school have the power to make some a bit anxious and weaken the knees while causing some others both young and old alike to break into a cold sweat you know rarely do i ever hear anyone say geez i wish i could still look the way i did when i was 12. doesn't happen i also remember one of the
035biggest fears as i was the junior high school principal that i remembered most of all hearing from an incoming seventh grader it was regarding combination locks everyone was so nervous about lockers to the point that some of you actually came in the week before school to continually practice your combination so that you had it on the first day of school we often refer to those first two years or those two years in junior high school as the crucible the unavoidable path that you have to travel and conquer on your quest to complete your educational marathon it was during two years of junior high school that some of the lessons that you learned in kindergarten were really put to the test there were many guardian angels over there that helped you navigate your way there was
036schwartz and monroe and stoner and cook and eaton and zuk just to name a few during this time you were involved in many activities some of them were athletics yearbook concessions possibly relay for life dances some of you were even in the talent show and almost to the day four years ago many of you ended your junior high experience with the eighth grade washington dc trip i don't know about you but i still remember that long bus trip during these two years there was a lot of laughter and yes even a few tears but in the end you all survived and moved across the parking lot to begin the final leg of your marathon four years at the high school and it ends today on this field at bill sharp stadium i personally want to
037congratulate each of you for completing your 26.2 mile educational marathon you will take with you the knowledge and lessons that you have gathered like pearls along the way please understand this is a big deal we are so proud of you for all the accomplishments along the way in closing i really truly only want to ask you one thing to be a good person to be kind treat others as well as yourself with respect also please remember your friendships sadly life gets in the way and today just might be one of those last times that you ever see some of the classmates that are sitting beside you here today so i ask you fight hard hold on to your old friendships and relish the opportunity to make new ones remember that mr pletcher continually reminded you
038each and every day to learn something today jimmy's as well as to always do the best you can until you know better then do better in other words never stop learning and always do your best class of 2022 graduates hang on because you're in for a while ride but i caution you enjoy the journey along the way it goes way too fast and last but not least never forget the lessons that you learned in kindergarten most of all that any day with warm cookies and cold milk is a good day jimmies work hard to make this world just a bit better simply because you are a part of it let me be one of the first to formally congratulate you and welcome you as the next group of gemtown alumni do great things jimmies i
039will truly miss you all [Applause] thank you mr sal we appreciate you very much at this time i would like to invite excuse me invite mr matt margraf our 2022 valedictorian to the stage for his address [Applause] good afternoon honored guests administration teachers family friends and of course you guys the class of 2022 my name is matthew margraf and i am honored to be the valedictorian we made it 13 years of school have led up to this day today we say goodbye to everything that was familiar everything that was comfortable we are entering the fabled real world armed with all the knowledge gained in high school to prepare us for it like graphing sign analyzing 18th century poetry with gina identifying mitochondria you know things adults do all the time in their daily lives first
040i would like to take some time to thank the people that got us here i truly believe my parents are the only reason that i'm speaking here today our parents and guardians shape our character and have supported us through everything in our life so far thank you to my friends for always being there thank you to all of the faculty coaches and staff at gemtown high school and i would also like to thank the school board members who last fall made a bold decision so that we were not required to wear masks there are 135 of us graduating today i feel as though i barely know some of you something that i regret regret i also regret knowing far far too much about some of you just look at the group chat in the coming
041months each of us will go down our own unique path whether it is college a career the armed forces or something out of the ordinary for most of us we will be on our own for the first time we will be meeting new people in a noble pursuit of new skills and knowledge this journey of making choices truly on our own will inevitably result in us making mistakes we must we must remind ourselves that making mistakes is part of the learning process and that mistakes can often lead us to success in ways that we can't imagine we will have to make our own decisions like who we want to be and what we stand for the speech would not be complete without a few words of wisdom theodore roosevelt once said do what you can
042with what you have where you are it doesn't matter who you are or what you choose to do in life you will you will decide how you impact the world to some people we are just a bunch of kids from elkhart the rv capital of the world but that does not define who we are or what we can become i'll leave you with this quote from the movie coach carter our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure thank you [Applause] as we prepare for the moment we're all here for the awarding of diplomas i would like to introduce the members of the deus and the people who will assist with the awarding of those diplomas when i call your name please stand and remain
