the school Mini-THON collected more than $30,000 to help fight the end to pediatric cancer, which is a school record,” Clements said. Malavika concluded the ceremony by offering her thoughts, which centered on the theme of gratitude. “It is important to thank those who have changed our lives. Our families, whether it is those related to us by blood or those we have chosen, have impacted us greatly,” she stated. “I implore all of you to thank whoever you call family.” “ While it is a sad thing that our time together is coming to a close, I have no doubt that the friendships we have forged will stick with us for the rest of our lives,” she said to her classmates. “We will never forget each other.” Jocelyn Hittle, who will be a senior this fall at TVHS and who writes poetry for the Twin Valley Labyrinth, the TVHS literary magazine, was on hand to observe the ceremony, which took place in a minor league ballpark a unique venue. “As each student rounded home base - diploma in hand - they officially crossed over into adulthood, into their future adventures and into the rest of their lives,” she said.

He compared the adventures to life during a lockdown and cited athletes, musicians and leaders as the student heroes. “Our heroes are also our parents, friends, teachers, custodians, administrators and our (school) staff,” he said, adding, “The end of our adventure is the start of another. “ Other speakers included class president Lauren Brown, vice president Ben Williams, secretary Katherine Hafer, treasurer Molly Stevens, superintendent Dr. Patrick Winters, school board president Gary McEwen and class speaker Alex Brown. Alex talked about attending school virtually. “Who would have thought you could be in class in your underwear, and no one would know?” he asked, adding, “Although the pandemic has affected us negatively, the diploma we hold in our hands today shows that with dedication, passion and perseverance, anything is possible.” TVHS principal William Clements listed the accomplishments of the Class of 2021, including awards and honors won by students in FFA and Technology Students of America, being able to present a school musical and other performances despite the pandemic and the achievements of student artists and student-athletes. “Against remarkable odds,

Eye Drop 2021 from pg 1
More than 100 people took part in Eye Drop 2019 to raise money and awareness for VisionCorps.
Sortland said she is committed to the feat despite her fear of heights as part of an effort to raise funds and awareness for VisionCorps after the nonprofit organization helped her when she became visually impaired. Sortland’s vision was damaged after she suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a condition that often results in death or significant impairments. “I became visually disabled a couple of years ago. (As a consequence), I was cutting my fingers, burning my hands and I almost got hit by a car. I could not read emails or pay bills,” said Sortland, whose coordinator of care recommended that she contact VisionCorps for help. “I was really lucky that I finally gave VisionCorps a call. They gave me a caseworker and I told her about all the things that I was struggling with. She said that I would be OK and get my independence back and (find) a new way to live.” VisionCorps helped Sortland learn to overcome the obstacles that she encountered on a daily basis. “They came in and taught me how to use technology, cook and organize. Someone taught me to use my cane not only at home, but anywhere I needed to go. They offered me the world,” she stated. “If I can’t figure out how to do something, they can help me.” The Eye Drop was canceled in 2020 during the pandemic, but in 2019 120 people took part in the event, some with vision loss and some sighted, according to Carol Gifford, VisionCorps community relations specialist. “(Eye Drop) is run by a group of professionals,” Gifford noted. “They are in charge of making sure the entire process is safe.”
Natanya Sortland will take part in Eye Drop 2021, rappelling down the side of the Holiday Inn in Lancaster.
Although Sortland’s limited vision is blurry, she will be aware of the building’s height. “The first time the event came around, I said, ‘No way,’ but (this year) I realized that I have to do this because I need to make sure that other people get this help,” said Sortland. Sortland plans to dress as Lady Liberty since the event is close to the July 4 holiday and to represent her newly independent life. “I will not (back out),” she said. “My determination to get help (to the people who need it) will be stronger than my fear.” People who would like to financially support Sortland’s effort may visit https://give.visioncorps .net/natanya for more information. VisionCorps’ Eye Drop event will be held at the Holiday Inn Lancaster, 26 E. Chestnut St., beginning at 9 a.m. All proceeds will help fund VisionCorps’ prevention, rehabilitation and employment services, which are offered to those who are blind or have low vision in Adams, Chester, Lancaster, Lebanon and York counties. There are still open spots to join and rappel. For more information and to register, visit www.EyeDrop2021.org.
