INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

 

GRADUATION 2009 

July 2009

  

   International School’s Class of 2009 graduated on Saturday, July 11, with all the pomp and circumstance they deserved. The eight youngsters will now embark on their middle school studies, and the 11 kindergartners will now move on to elementary school. 

Highlights of the ceremony included speeches given by the graduates as well as the guest of honor, biochemist Maria Eugenia Campos Torres. Amelia Jaime and Seiki Hiromoto shared some words in Spanish and in English, respectively, about their favorite moments of kindergarten. Pablo Bribiesca started off his salutatorian speech recollecting his first week of school, when he could speak no English and made a lasting friendship with a classmate who translated for him. With pride he now stood before the audience sharing these memories in English. Alix Lizeth Altamirano, as valedictorian, shared words of optimism, urging her fellow classmates to move forward, always striving to attain their dreams. Ms. Campos Torres urged the children to reach for the top because from there they would find a beautiful and inspirational view. She also advised them not to fear the next steps in their lives because they can be assured as students of International School that they are well prepared for what they will encounter.

 Other students from all primary grades also received recognition for special achievements during the school year, including, of course, honor role. The little ones in kindergarten and nursery school received their diplomas earlier in the week. Similarly, the school’s dedicated teachers received special recognition, as did various parents who have given significant amounts of time to the school.

 It wasn’t just all talk, however. The graduating kindergartners shared the song “Celebrate You” with the audience. The elementary schoolers sang “No Me Doy por Vencido” (I Won’t Give Up) and “Imagine,” while the graduating sixth graders chose to sing “Climb.” 

Good luck to all the graduates in their future endeavors.
