002graduation ceremony I am extremely grateful to be speaking to you all today as the class president of the class of 20124 for many of you in the crowd you have sat where my fellow graduates sit now excited terrified bored possibly asleep and for those of you who haven't it's just as fun as it looks regardless of your State throughout your ceremony many of you have experienced what all 76 of us will be experiencing in the next hour or so this is a tremendous milstone in all of our Lives the conclusion of 13 years of early wakeups standardized testing and magnificent magnificent school lunch for many of today's graduates the people who surround them in these seats have known them since kindergarten or sixth grade of course there are few outliers such as myself a part
003of Tanto the to Tanto Community later than the rest of their classmates but the difference in days spent in the school has not affected the quality of Education all 76 of us have made the most of all out of all the has to offer and have embraced all forms of academics clubs and Athletics in the past four years we have all changed so much behind me the people we were in August of 20120 are very different from the people we are now I believe that we have all changed for the better High school does not have to be the best days or years of your life nor do I believe it should be in the last 1,460 days I have experienced hardship anger sadness grief and doubt but I have also experienced more joy success
004love excitement pride and appreciation for where I am and I believe all of you have felt those em emotions more as well this school and this community has changed all of us and helped us grow into the people we are now I encourage us all to continue growing further as we take our next steps into adulthood but I also encourage all of us to not forget the time we spent as a Tanto student I hope we can all look back at the time we spent here fondly and know that being here as students has changed us in a way that will set us on the path to success remember that although we are leaving Tanto today we are now an alumni to the community that the school has so graciously created for us to the
005faculty and staff in the audience I thank you for the last seven years I thank you for your care attention intellect and generosity to the family and friends of my fellow graduates we are all forever thankful for the endless support that has gotten us to where we are today to my three brothers thank you for being the best Role Models I could ask for and for building my character through cruelty to my parents thank you for helping me finish projects that I saw the night before they were due and for always signing my reading log even though you knew I did not not read and last but certainly certainly not least to the class of 2024 thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your class president for these last two years I am
006grateful to have had this experience and I know it has made me a better person and I will forever be thankful for that I will also forever be salty that Co took away our eighth grade field trip to Philadelphia I'm extremely excited to see what all of you will accomplish after today and I hope to see you all at our 25th reunion at great will ludge thank you at this time I would like to introduce the superintendent of the Berlin boilson Regional School District Mrs Carol [Applause] Costello oh my God that was good Greetings oh the other one sorry greetings Welcome to our families friends staff and school committee on behalf of the Berlin Boon Regional School District and most importantly our graduates of the class of 2024 a few weeks ago I had the
007privilege of meeting with the senior class officers and other class members and ask them what they would like this audience to know about their class their school years here at Tanto and how they view their future I want to knowled them personally and express my appreciation for their candidness and courage and speaking their truth to me thank you to Ben moldun STI Michaelson Alma car Monica Emma Viet kie MTH and lilan cedo you give us much to think about as we reshape the landscape of our schools for the future here's what they told me first stop talking about Co they're extremely tired of listening to it and said it's time to move on so I will they acknowledged and applauded the fact that their classmates had chosen a variety of paths After High School with
008some going to trade schools and directly into careers or taking a gap year before College one of the students said we've become more comfortable with the idea that you don't always need four years of college to be successful now let me say this to the parents before before you withdraw your Sally May applications for the loans hear them out they know people who have chosen to take different path and appreciate the opportunity to have some breathing space and the belief that not knowing what you want to do at 18 years old is okay I don't know about you but I wish someone had given me permission to consider that at 18 years old for the record here are the stats of the class of 2024 8 students plan to attend four-year colleges seven students will
009enter twoyear colleges two students will go on to Career Education seven students intend to go directly into the workforce one student is already in the military and one student remains that's right [Applause] and one student REM remains undecided the class of 2024 will be heading off to 18 different states from to California covering the country and attending 47 different institutions of Higher Learning it's pretty impressive on a personal note I've been watching this particular class grow since kindergarten when I was the prin principal at burlin Memorial School it was not surprising then to hear that these students too saw the constant growth of their classmates and themselves as they adapted and changed intellectually emotionally and physically Through The Years one Ben who had been in our district for their entire K12 education said I've known
010a lot of these people since elementary school it's pretty cool to see how everyone has grown and where they're going they even had to admit too that they sometimes got on each other's nerves because they became like siblings to one another in the end the competitiveness and comaraderie felt by the class of 2024 in academics Athletics and other areas helped them to thrive the group felt that they had M uh made lasting friendships through the years and that much to them with that in mind I want to strongly encourage you members of the class of 2024 to remember those friendships the people beside you have known you for some time and surely before you become that person you have decided to show the world they'll always remember and they'll remind you of who you are
011at your very core and remain your cheerleaders in the years ahead so before I go any further and I did this last year and before you disappear from here today and the opportunity escapes you to do so please take a moment to turn to the left and to the right of you and congratulate the classmates sitting beside you I challenge you to remember this moment as sad said when you meet at your 25th class reunion secondly the class of 2024 also proudly acknowledges that they are very vocal about certain topics and are confidently able to advocate for themselves they have received support from their teachers who taught and encouraged them to become self- Advocates whether they were participating debates and voicing their opinions from other perspectives or speaking up for themselves in the classrooms and
012Beyond one of our students said our teachers and peers have always made us feel successful it goes back to that path where everyone succeeds in their own way finally the class of 2024 asked me to share this important message to their younger classmates and to parents please get yourself involved being a leader and not a follower the teachers and administrators encourage us to get involved they said but not getting involved is an issue here and it gets passed down what these student leaders have observed is if your parents actively participate as Volunteers in some Capac clubs committees whatever it is that you as a student will get involved be willing to take health risks and try a variety of new and positive experiences and most importantly are more apt to step up and out as
013Leaders so again on behalf of the class of 2024 please get involved in your school community in closing we celebrate you the class of 2024 for the many gifts you brought to your teachers your school and most importantly your families we wish you all the best in finding your success we love you and now I'd like to invite our fabulous principal Lisa sequera up to the [Applause] podium I'm gonna try this see how this works and I invite anybody who else to speaking you can grab the mic first and foremost welcome and congratulations to our graduates welcome family friends school committee members superintendent Costello teachers staff administrators and community members Welcome to our celebration as we honor the class of 20124 and their accomplishments which have led them to this very day their graduation Silver
014Linings are those unexpected gifts that come to us in normally difficult circumstances as I was thinking about when I first met many of the members of the class of 20 but think about silver and the unusual circumstances under which they began high school as readed each other through masks and six foot distances we all wondered how this was going to work and as a school we completely reinvented our schedule and how we would be teaching and learning Silver Linings those unexpected gifts that come to us under normally different difficult circumstances mask breaks honestly looking back weren't they lovely oh yeah yeah teachers crafted lessons we hosted students online and in the classroom we targeted power standards and learning occurred all despite these challenges and still we managed to rotate through Mass breaks which allowed us
015fresh air in conversations throughout the day and I am sure all of you have special memories of conversations that took place during mass breaks this was a time I learned just how many places one of my students had lived prior to settling in on spending her High School time at Tanto I remember practicing the military alphabet alphabet code alpha bravo charlie and trying to parse out the drama of evolving friendships Silver Linings block eight do you remember block eight this was an added block to our newly devised long block schedule when students were able to access extra help or complete work in their home room at first block eight was worrisome um but as we got into a Groove we found a rhythm in how to use this time we cultivated community in that time
016during this time on a cold and bit snowy day we unveiled the Biol tree during our mask break my students and I found the extra Christmas trees that the Lions Club had donated and there were a couple that seemed to need some love so we dragged with great excitement and enthusiasm we had students drag those trees into into the classroom dubbing it the biology it decorating the branches with evidence of our learning we dragged another tree into the classroom I'm not sure I would have ever done that before but it felt right under the circumstances and for that crazy year we felt free to embrace opportunities to create Joy just because things were just so different Silver Linings those unexpected gifts that come to us under normally difficult circumstances as Educators and Learners we all
017became resilient yes we were the epitome of resilience we GA integrating technology and online learning and now we have these platforms and options that service well for meetings we might not be able to travel for for classes and seminars that can be virtual no longer will we say Zoom what's that how do I do that Google meet and zoom are commonplace and this will serve you all well as you move through life the students in the class of 2024 have developed skills that will help them navigate their postsecondary experience with a level of adaptability they may never have developed without hybrid learning remember those fully remote Wednesdays trying to remember to log on as we rotated through a normal seven period day holding each other accountable texting Snapchatting FaceTiming to be sure each one of
018our classmates showed up not so much because of the groundbreaking content that was being shared but because we cared because even then we knew we were better together and then at the and that the president of each one of us was essential and important ah the Silver Linings of our shared experiences my point is is that throughout life we never know what challenges we may face only that we will face challenges my greatest hope for all of you is that you find the silver lining in these challenges rejoice in the successes amidst hardship choose to celebrate victories and joy over focusing on the difficulties themselves yes as a community we successfully navigated hybrid learning you are all sitting here as a testment we gained skills and experiences that would have never been available to us
019had that shared experience Silver Linings come to us under normally difficult circumstance class of 2024 we are very proud of you and you will be missed [Applause] congratulations and at this time I would like to call to the podium class valid Victorian shy [Applause] Amin fellow graduates to today is our celebration of our Collective efforts and determination and I'm deeply honored to stand before you this achievement is not mine alone but belongs to all of us who have supported each other along the way first off I want to thank God for his blessings and guidance I want to thank my wonderful family incredible teachers and friends who have guided and inspired me throughout this journey thank you to everyone I hope you luck on all your endeavors now we'd like to int introduce our salutatorian
020Chloe casperson [Applause] a good story makes us feel something but a great story invites us so deeply into a character's heart that at times we see ourselves we are storytellers and our lives are our stories as we begin to write the next chapter of our book guide your audience into your heart consider for a moment the books that have moved you the most they seldom have predictable endings they Captivate Us with their surprises and keep us turning the pages eager to discover what happens next Our Lives should be no different we live in a world that often pressures us to have our path mapped out and to commit to a specific ending it's like being told to flip to the end of the book before you've even started the first chapter but where's the fun
021in that where's the thrill of Discovery the excitement of the unknown there is so much more to our existence life is not about skipping to the last page it's about living each chapter fully and being open to the possibility that the best parts of our story are the ones we haven't yet imagined it's about the guts the twists the turns that make our story uniquely ours because let me tell you the most compelling chapters are those filled with risk leaps of faith and with moments that challenge the characters more than we have ever thought possible these are the stories that become Thrillers love stories Mysteries and sometimes a comeback all rolled into one so I encourage you to write your story with courage and creativity don't settle for the expected embrace the unknown fill your
022pages with diverse characters who inspire you situations that test you and moments that make you feel alive let's write stories that we are proud to tell and excited to live let's not rush to the last page congratulations class of 2024 here's to the incredible stories we will write in the extraordinary lives we will lead thank [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you i' I'd like introduce Zoe abdella our amazing student council [Applause] [Music] [Applause] president hello to Hanto class of 2024 my name is Zoe abdella I am the student council president and I would like to personally congratulate each one of you on this accomplishment one last day all in the same room many of you have known the person on your left since kindergarten and the person on your right since the sixth grade together we have
023grown up though I'm still waiting on my gross spt I've had the pleasure of experiencing the molding of Minds that Danto has helped to Foster for today we do not pay tribute to the end of our Tanto career but rather celebrate this mile marker on our journey the lessons that we have learned between these four walls will guide us on our next chapter whatever that may be much to Mr dhy srin I still do not know the eight parts of speech and I have forgotten Mr Gay's lessons of finding an integral initially I thought that this was what these teachers wanted to stay with us I was mistaken well centripetal force is not something I plan to use in my daily life the lessons of how to work hard how to fail how to grow
024and how to be a person for others are all lessons that will stay with us long after our days of being a stag in the end these are the lessons our teachers really wanted to still in us whether you like it or not or it makes you sad or uncomfortable there are so many people in this room who love you this very room is filled with people rooting for us teachers who have challenged us coaches who have pushed us and administrators who have guided us I'm confident that the Tanto Community cares for each and every one of us which may explain why half the teachers here are alumni my mom always mentions how fast kids grow up and I never believed her for us I've always waited for the bell at the end of the
025day and was eager to finally finish High School I couldn't wait till the end of my college search or even to give this very speech I subconsciously decided everything would get easier once each of these events occurred and all the anxiety around it would just disappear just got to get till Christmas and just make it till Friday or thoughts we've all had but this is it the moment we've waited for and yet I'm sure everyone's minds are elsewhere thinking about finding a roommate or the first day on the job job thoughts of Lake days and Beach trips for graduation seems like such a huge deal but yet in a few days we'll have moved on to the next thing the point I attempted to make in this very lengthy tangent brought to you by Mr
026Pico's teaching is that there really isn't a destination but our journey continues so let's live in the moment and reflect on the fact that this chapter is Over The Good The Bad and your ugly side part phase have reached the end for many of us the person on your right you may never again and the person on your left may only visit once every 4th of July wherever we go let us remember the lessons that help shaped who we are will we attempt to live in the moment and use our Danto education for the greater good congratulations class of 2024 and best of luck and all the other mile markers you will reach on your [Applause] journey I would now like int I would now like to introduce the faculty address Mr Steve [Applause] Pacha
027come in with a bang okay well like to start off by congratulating you as I've told other graduating classes this is a Monumental Milestone that you have just reached this is a time when I will no longer block you from social media and you're only 10 short years away from have not having to call me Mr Pico congratulations once again I found it quite interesting that you have invited me probably not the First Choice a person uh who has been ridiculing you for four years as you walk by the humani wing uh to send you off into the world and I was thinking maybe it's just this great sense of respect that you bestow upon me like when the school voted me to be one of the teachers be hit with a pie in the
028face during a fundraiser but then it dawned on me a graduation speech is supposed to contain some pearl of wisdom and I didn't realize I was going to be the last speaker today so if I screw up it can't be fixed I'm supposed to send send you on out some advice to out into the world what are I going to say to you what's Sage I thought about hair care tips probably not how about making you feel welcome and good about yourselves if you've had me in class you know that's not going to be reality a speech with just puns and dad jokes an important parenting skill if there ever was one Molly simler I think told me that there there was an over and under for this speech for seven and a half I
029know I could use some catchy cliches like Mark Twain sing like no one is listening love like you've never been hurt dance like nobody's watching and live like it's Heaven on Earth well that dance thing backfired on me at Mr Whitehead and Miss Nelson's wedding and oh there's a video of that you're still being blocked on social media more cliches these could work you have the future you can change the world and erase all the mistakes Our Generation has made solve climate change create world peace and Mis and Prejudice or and by the way beware of the overthrow of humanity by AI it's up to you don't worry if you fail the world could end and your children will have no future have a good life Ben it dawned on me you don't need Sage
030advice quotes from some great but very dead people or even tips on how to have a shiny head I need to express my gratitude for what you all did for Tanto here comes a very old dead person as Robert Peyton Powell the founder of the Boy Scout said we should try to leave the world a better place than we found it and this is exactly what you the class of 2024 have done at Tanto that that deserves a round of applause I think all right the list of accolades is from pressive the USA news and World Report ranked Tanto 33rd in the state and fourth in Central Mass we were a Department of Education National Blue Ribbon award recipient and state champions in football and the senior literature exhibitions were among the most thought-provoking and
031heartfelt presentations in school history but these accolades pale in comparison to what makes you great which is the very culture you have helped create at Tanto and this will be the secret of your future happiness Tanto has always been a little bit different when people ask me what it's like to be a high school teacher I say I don't know I I'm a teacher at Tanto and like the Celtics like to say it's different here think half Hogwarts half oz half Muppet Show all part soul and no I'm history teacher there must be something about it uh as Zoe had already stated Mr Whitehead Miss Nelson Mr bu Mr Weedman Mrs Hutchinson Miss Gardner Miss Cox miss squa Mr Gay Mr kilcoin Mr Noel and Mrs Young all have uh come back here after they
032left they all can't be delusional and then of course there Mr carus and Mr Greenwell who both retired a long time ago and they keep coming back they're like Beetlejuice and I just said Mr carus and there he is 40 years 39 I don't know who it's over come on all anyway but the doldrums of covid I mentioned it put much of that in Jeopardy that bright light that made this place unique was fading then you guys emerged from the Purgatory of remote learning in four short years you help bring back the Tanto soul that Danto energy and then you topped it I have been here very long time way before you all were born I can honestly say that in no time has this school been a better place to be and you all
033help make that happen on top of this your Collective sense of empathy is well beyond your years this sense demands that all are treated with respect pie in the face notwithstanding thank you very much as a result you made toono a place where people are generally free to be themselves and a place where it's understood that all should be welcome because it's a right I've witnessed this firsthand in Mrs McCarthy's room where the mo uh where most of the people responsible for the aforementioned Pi reside by the way I'm not bitter don't worry filled with Boundless Energy fun camaraderie belonging and dare I say family the Unified sports program cafes For A Cause pep rallies where people feel quite comfortable walking around dressed like a banana all day or be like Misha and carry around
034a full kayak all day on alternative to a backpack day the boys basketball team which is a true Band of Brothers committed to each other like no other The Varsity softball team which is a truly special group of young ladies who built a goofy little world with silliness and joy was combined with hard work and dedication and finally the nature of being Cape trip an example of all that is good about your class is a weekend of pure joy experiencing life not sleepwalking through it we're singing around the campfire to the tunes of Disney Princesses became a metaphor for how one should experience life I didn't sing but that was probably a good thing the theme of the cape trip was to show that all things in nature are connected what we learned was in
035addition to that all people are also connected as well Tanto is not perfect no place is that is why the word you told you're literally translates to be nowhere in ancient Greek we've had our triumphs we've also had our sorrows but you're also self-aware enough to recognize this in yourselves you pushed to make the Hanto a better place even had representatives of your class speak before groups of adults so raise awareness that no one Within These Walls should ever feel uncomfortable or different so there it is if there's any advice to you is simply to be keep being you do not let yourselves get jaded or turned by forces that go against your outlook on life what forces news outl outlets from both sides of the political Spectrum have discovered that there's more profit in
036Anger than in truth so that there's only so that telling you only one side of the story serves to confirm pre-existing biases we no conscious of how it divides us social media algorithms onard you with advertisements and news stories to get you to buy certain things and think a certain way even where social media is designed to get you hooked on watching other people live false representations of their lives taking countless hours from you getting the most out of yours heck even I can serve to stifle AI can serve to stifle your voice by encouraging you to Simply type in a topic to write about and then provide you with a computer generated response so separate yourselves from this false world that is presented to you and focus on the world that is around you
037listen I learn to listen to opposing viewpoints we all can learn something from walking in another's shoes stay committed to a passion of learning that will help you reveal the real truth and not some alternative truth and use that truth to make things better and of course defend yourselves from some AI zombies who are looking to take over the world so I salute you class of 2024 and thank you for all that you've done for Tahanto and I'm a little envious of those future small tanto like worlds that each of you will make a better place and remember in a world full of division and anger be like a 2024 graduate of [Applause] Tahanto ah there it is at this time I'd like to invite uh Lisa squa back up to the podium [Applause] thank
