Commencement 2022

Parish Episcopal School SUMMER 2022

Commencement Edition

CLASS OF 2022

Mira’s Magic On January 2, 2019, the Class of 2022 lost a most beloved classmate and friend – Mira Foshee. On May 21, 2022, they took their place on the graduation stage with Mira in their hearts, her spirit and magic alive and well as they turned the page to the next chapter in their journey.

“We also counted on Mira walking with us at graduation, and while she may not be on the stage, I know the impact she’s continued to make with us, and that she will be with us at every step.”

– Abby Jackson '22 Captured in an earlier tribute from Mira’s parents, Soume and Paul Foshee, and her brother Kian, “Mira brought people together. . . . She lived at the magical edge of life where you see the good things in all people . . . and of course her constant smile…it could light up the room and open any closed door. She was vibrant and put the color inside our worlds.”

Graduates of the Class of 2022 take with them Mira’s Magical Messages for which she will forever be remembered: •

Be brave and show someone you love them.

•

Don’t hold grudges.

•

Take care of each other.

•

Live for the moment. Tomorrow is unknown. Be present.

•

Be a connector and bridge the world.

•

Enjoy every possible dinner together.

•

Smile.

And, thanks to the many donors, including the Foshees and the Class of 2022 senior parents, students and families, graduates have a special space to return to at Parish in Mira’s Fountain in the Parish Memorial Garden. As Dave Monaco, former Allen Meyer Family Head of School, included in his comments during the dedication ceremony, Mira’s Fountain: “. . . soars in its reach; inspires with its beauty; and moves those of us who love Mira to a spiritual connection with her” and “is a permanent testimony to how Mira’s spirit, while she was alive and since she’s been gone, has united us and channeled our unrelenting sense of loss into healing acts of creativity and service.”

Blue Shirt Chapel – Ellie Heald ". . . the reason I would rather be backpacking in [Alaska], despite the obvious beauty, was my ability to focus on my simplest moments and needs. I loved that my biggest worry was when my next snack break would be or if the base camp showers actually had warm water (the answer was always no). I wished that I could appreciate the simple moments like this in my own life. It wasn’t until I actively considered this each day, that I was able to see all of the simple moments that already surrounded me and were waiting to be acknowledged. . . . my personal favorite chapel song is Tis a Gift to be Simple, Tis a Gift to be Free. Despite hearing this song frequently for several years now, I had never actually considered the meaning. . . . while most of it sounds like dance instructions, the underlying meaning is that we can find all of us, and there will be anxiety-filled moments but the only way to succeed and get the most out of your experience is to take it one simple moment at a time. Seniors, meet people while brushing your teeth, hang out with friends while doing laundry, and go crazy picking out your perfect dorm room decor. Juniors, just really soak each moment in, be present with your classmates and . . . Congratulations on all your big and little achievements, I know you

Senior Blessing – Benji Purcel "Throughout the years when I sat in the different sections of Chapel, I learned a new life lesson. Some of these lessons were similar while others were vastly different. However, all the lessons seemed to have a common theme: resilience. And I cannot think of a more resilient class than the Class of ‘22. . . . My family has always lived with the motto of instead of asking “why me?” ask “why not me?” So, it makes perfect sense that our class was the one that experienced heartbreak [with the loss of friend and classmate Mira Foshee], tornadoes, winter storms and pandemics. We were able to grow from them all, truly because of our resilience. And I am grateful to have experienced these events with such an amazing class. . . . Today marks one of the last times that the members of Class of ‘22 will gather [in Chapel] together. For me, this space has been an oasis for rest, serenity and unity . . . as we leave this space together, let us remember the good times we had but also the not-as-good times . . . let us take the lessons we learned and the resilience we gained during our Parish careers and apply them to the world we will lead once we receive that diploma . . . "

will all have many more simple moments ahead."

Senior Dinner Blessing – Evie Crumrine

| C L A S S 2 0 2 2 commencement edition

“. . . I pray that wherever you take us next in our life beyond high school, we’ll soar with the peace of knowing that we’ve never been more ready for the next chapter as young adults. . . . I pray that you prepare our hearts to open to others and new experiences. . . . I thank you for the gift of each other, of new experiences, and for the new chapter of our lives that has yet to be discovered. The unknown can be anxiety driven and fearful, yet, I pray we’re able to instead embrace the unknown. In a world where there’s the constant aspect of disappointment, I pray that we’re able to take these setbacks and instead use these unwanted obstacles to better ourselves as people and further leaders of this world. No matter where each of us ends up, no matter where we go and who we become, I pray that each of us is able to honor and fully embrace how this space and these people have impacted our journey . . . Amen.”

Senior Dinner Address – Abby Jackson The year was 2019 [on sophomore retreat] . . . That day brought us closer as a class, because of one moment so brilliant and daring that it captivated the entire Parish Community.

The movement started with a post on David Perlman’s Instagram: “If this post gets 3,000 likes he’s getting a buzz cut. #roadto3000.” Who was getting a haircut? David? No - Will Schnepf, who since preschool had gone completely unchecked in sporting his shoulder-length auburn tresses, was finally being held accountable. . . . the Class of 2022 rallied . . . With only 100 kids in our grade, it seemed an impossible feat . . . our grade shared it, the post gained unstoppable momentum, garnering support from other grades at Parish, then other schools . . . to Parish Alumni in their thirties. . . . David’s call to action did indeed reach 3,000 likes and Will, true to his word, buzzed the mop. . . . a testament to the day we changed the world. . . . very “class of 2022.” A goal was set, and with our collective effort we turned the laughably ambitious into a reality. . . even when you think you’re able to handle the unexpected, the world throws a complete curveball, and you might feel full of doubt, like you can’t handle anything. . . . The change that will come with graduation, like many other changes we’ve been through, will undoubtedly feel chaotic, but . . . there [isn’t] a class who [is] more ready to graduate than the class of 2022.

I say this with full confidence because at every turn, I’ve seen us adapt to the chaos the world throws our way. . . we have learned to look at change and see an opportunity for growth. . . . although I don’t know what college will look like, I believe that if the past is any indication of how ready we are, we’ll be just fine.”

Baccalaureate – Matthew Wiggans "Build Longer Tables, not Higher walls” - Jose Andres, founder World Central Kitchen "Andres understands how important people are within the world we live in. . . . engagement of people to help their fellow community members . . . My first day at Parish in 5th grade, I remember how intimidated I felt when I sat down in the Black Box, surrounded by new people, all of whom, it seemed, knew the school better than me. It was in that moment, however, through the common goal for everyone in that room to put on a good show, that people began reaching out to me, giving me a seat at the ever growing table of theatre kids. . . . At some point we will all feel the same way I felt as I sat in that theater my 5th grade year. Stay open to the opportunities to join groups and organizations that you are passionate about. But equally important, once you are in these organizations, stay open for the new people that you can let in. Above all else, remember that the longer the table of diverse mindsets and backgrounds we can all build together, the better our world will be."

Commencement Invocation – Khaki Criss “ . . . Let us not get distracted by our own expectations but instead find pride in where we each individually stand. Let us remember that grace can be completely ordinary, just a smile to a passer-by or a door held open for a stranger. Let us stop asking ourselves 'am I there yet?' knowing that we have our whole lives ahead of us.

Let us enter each new year ready to center ourselves and find a mentor to help us grow. Let us stop thinking 'if only I had known' and instead be grateful for what we do know and what we have learned. Let us understand that the need we have to be entirely in control can be the factor that spins us out of control. Let us find comfort in grief by letting it lead us to an eventual peace. Let us remember that we are all pilgrims on a journey and there is always a pillar to lean on when we might be unsteady. Let us remember that a light will come and comfort in the darkest valleys of life. Let us remember that the best parts of life come when they are simply personal and it being personal is simply enough. And finally, let us remember to find consolation in our surroundings and the blessings we have. Every day, we will face something astonishingly beautiful and insurmountingly ugly. We cannot be afraid of either. Psalm 139 reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Wherever our own paths may take us, we cannot allow ourselves to forget that. Amen.

Commencement Welcome – Robert Rogers

“Countless school days, sixteen theatre productions, seven uniform checks, three football state championships, two and a half retreats, and one swallowed AirPod later, class of 2022, we made it. . . . My message to all of you was going to be about how it’s okay to have fears and it’s okay to be afraid. . . . But then, I realized, that message is so lame! Who wants to hear about how you should accept your fears and live life cautiously on their graduation day? If we all abided by this idea, Creighton would’ve never swallowed that AirPod! . . . I began reminiscing on my time at Parish. . . . I was able to cheer on the football team to three state championships, attend five exciting school dances, watch my best friends get awarded as international rover champions, congratulate student-artists having their work displayed at local exhibits, and I even got to see Adam and Evie kiss on stage eight different times! Reflecting on all these good memories did make me smile, but I still felt like I was missing some essential experiences and formative moments . . . As I brainstormed, I stumbled across this [from] Tuesday, May 22, 2018.

‘Dear Future Hope, hey Girl!’

Four years ago tomorrow, I wrote myself this letter in Mrs. Guillory’s 8th grade humanities class. Clearly, I had some seriously important questions about my future . . . Yes, I will be attending my dream school of the University of Chicago. Yes, I still read a lot, and no, I have not met Harry Styles…yet. What sticks out to me . . . is the second to last line: ‘I want to be exactly like you when I grow up’. . . . the more I thought about it, the more endearing the words became. Eighth grade Hope would be so proud of the person I am today and would be so excited to live my life. And that realization makes me really, really happy, and it leads me to the message I want to share with all of you today, something I wish I told myself many times over the past few years: be proud of yourself and believe in yourself.”

Commencement Student Address – Hope Brown

SUMMER 2022 |

“ . . . welcome parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and friends to the Parish Episcopal School Commencement for the class of 2022. Whether you traveled down the road or flew across the country, or even traveled from overseas, thank you so much for celebrating with us. . . . we are finally gathered here this afternoon wearing our white dresses and tuxedos ready to celebrate an extraordinary milestone in our lives. . . . I want to take a moment to acknowledge our amazing teachers. They continuously went out of their way to work with us, even when it was difficult. Recently, they had to face the monumental task of teaching us through Google Meets. They were under extraordinary pressure to make sure that no matter where we were logged in from, we were still getting that amazing Parish education.

They also never forgot to remind us to keep our web cameras on. . . . Enough said, let the fun of tonight begin!”

Commencement Faculty Speaker Introduction – Adam Spencer & Ryland Marhsall

| C L A S S 2 0 2 2 commencement edition

Adam: I shouldn’t know who Neil Matz is. I have never played a Parish sport. . . . I first met Coach Matz when I walked into Rosettes Line Camp in the summer before freshman year. . . . Soon enough, I knew exactly who he was. . . . Every member of the class of 2022 has a special connection with Coach Matz - he makes sure of it. Coach Matz goes the extra mile to come to our classes, games and practices, not because he has to but because he wants to. Coach Matz genuinely wants to support and guide us in as many ways as possible.

Ryland: …but I really, really know who Neil Matz is. Four years of playing Varsity Soccer has put me in Coach Matz’s PT room more times than I can count. . . . As an athletic trainer, Coach Matz sees a lot of us on our very worst days: downtrodden, broken and injured. But more importantly, he also gets to see a lot of us on our best days: returning to our respective sport after working so hard to get back in the game. . . . We know that Coach Matz is someone who takes care of us, but even more importantly, he cares about us, what we are interested in, and what we dedicate ourselves to. Coach Matz shows his support on the sidelines of any and every type of event by being a reassuring presence . . . Coach Matz’s support and investment in every person sitting behind me is a unique and memorable gift that doesn’t go unnoticed.”

Commencement Faculty Address – Neil Matz, Head Athletic Trainer “. . . I have had the pleasure of working with many of these students directly, either in the classroom, on the sidelines, behind the scenes or in the athletic training room. . . . I want to thank the parents and families here. . . . Know that you have raised wonderful young adults and you should be proud of each of them. Thank you for your trust in all of us to help guide them through this stretch of their life . . . graduates . . . I want you to add one more photo to the list of many you will take today. I want you each to take a selfie with your diploma, in your graduation attire, and send it to someone who impacted your life. Thank them for helping to get you here. . . . Things to be mindful of as you move forward in life: Take time to have fun – Life doesn’t have to be serious 100% of the time. It’s ok to joke and have fun . . .

It’s ok to change your mind – . . . Something you start your freshman year doesn’t have to be something you are doing your senior year. It is ok to limit or stop something that you no longer enjoy . . .

Find a mentor – . . . Mentors will move through your life as necessary. Some will be with you just long enough to nudge you in the right direction, teach you a new skill, or just impart a bit of wisdom. . . . always be alert to potential mentors in your life. Sometimes the least obvious people can be someone to guide you.

Challenge yourself – . . . have a growth mindset . . . Learn something new, pick up a new hobby, read that book, attend that lecture.

You have little to lose by expanding your knowledge base, but have very much to gain.

Give people a chance – You are going to meet many different people in your life. . . . give everyone a chance.

Be kind – . . . you never know what someone else is going through. Be kind to one another. A simple smile or indication of "I see you" can go a long way.

Take care of yourself – It seems that we expect more of ourselves and each other with each passing day. . . . Be mindful of how you are feeling and be sure to allot time for yourself and your mental health in your routines.

Get out and explore – . . . Walk, ride, grab an Uber, talk to those from the area and find what they do. Don’t go to a fast-food chain, eat where the locals eat. Don’t hit up the movie theater, go find an art museum or local gallery. . . . don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone and do something new.

Look at things from more than one angle – As I work on my photography and even more so as I look at the work of others, I have learned to try to look at things from multiple angles. It’s easy to take something at face value or go with the first view you have of something. You will learn though, that if you take the time to pause and reassess, you may see something you initially missed.

Be yourself – Yeah, be yourself. Very original. I bet you have never been told that before. But it’s easy to say this and much tougher to live up to. . . . Don’t worry about what others think. That may be a constant struggle, but it is a worthwhile endeavor as you grow.

Believe in yourself – . . . You are going to struggle. You are more than likely going to fail. Those don’t define you. Have faith in your abilities, in your knowledge and in yourself.

Find your magic – . . . Each of you has a spark that you can use to ignite change in the world around you. Go out and use that spark, use your magic, to make things better than you found them."

“ . . . Parish, You’ve meant so so much to us, but you know it and we know it, it's over. We’re through. Trust me, it’s not you. You’re wonderful and have many fabulous students ahead of you. It's us. We have to move on.

Through the years, we cheered on our Panthers at exciting sporting events like when we celebrated three football state championships, attended fabulous plays and musicals, and listened to the music of the fantastic Essential Standards. Remember when we danced the night away at not one but two seventies-themed homecomings?

That was so groovy.

Ya know, we didn't just play. We learned so much about each other thanks to our teachers, classmates and the deep conversations we had together.

But, we both know, it wasn’t perfect. Remember when COVID-19 forced us to take our relationship long distance? That was really tough, but we made it work. It was hard not seeing each other every day. Thank goodness for Google Meet, am I right?

Still, that doesn’t change the fact that we need to go our separate ways. It’s the best for both of us, I’m sure of it. I know it's going to sting a little, not seeing us in the hallways or the senior lounge, but you'll manage.

You helped us grow into the independent and capable people that we are. We will NEVER forget you, Parish. Thank you for being you.

Don't cry, we will be friends forever, promise!

Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had some great times… I mean really great times.

Remember when we first met at freshman retreat? We wrote letters to our senior selves, slid on the waterslide and played sand volleyball. That was so fun.
