I don’t normally post anything other than math stuff on this blog, but I would like to recognized the class of 2017 for their hard work and sacrifice to get to this moment, in particular, my current and former IB students and specifically, my first 8th grade class, 5 years ago. I remember you all frightening me with spiders, bearing with me during musical interpretation Fridays, and always trying to get away with something or other, like trying to watch a movie,  (except Foosball!). All in all, you have worked hard, shown perseverance in the face of trials and tribulation, and made it to this very large accomplishment! I hope the best for you and leave you with this quote:

“You gotta keep on keepin’ on. Life’s a garden: dig it. You gotta make it work for you.”
