GRADUATION Graduation Our final community gathering of the 2021-2022 school year was the graduation ceremony for the Class of 2022. Held on Thursday, May 26, the event was filled with words of encouragement, well wishes, and accolades. Student Council President Isabelle Ancona reminded her fellow classmates to believe in themselves and to always remember how much they are loved and supported by their families and everyone at Saint Andrew’s. The students were thrilled to have Ms. Lauren Orme-Axup as their graduation speaker. Her address is found on pages 30-31. Following the presentation of diplomas, the students took center stage as they shared the Class of 2022 Reflection Poem, a collaborative poem created by the students with each one sharing a refrain. Head of School Khadija A. Fredericks once again congratulated them. The Reverend Jani Wild, the interim rector of Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church, offered the closing benediction, and the Class of 2022 recessed from the church for a final time. Parents’ cheeks were aching by the end of the event as they beamed with pride at their children on this special day. A number of awards were presented at the ceremony, including several for service and citizenship - marks of great character at Saint Andrew’s. Students were also celebrated for academic excellence and a commitment to improvement. 28 S A I N T A N D R E W ’ S M A G A Z I N E T H E C O M M U N I T Y I S S U E
