The raft is got to be illegal at this point, the number of crashes we’ve had on that thing is crazy. To all the raft-ups we’ve had, got to be the most fun ever pulling up to the sandbar, geeking, and having fun. To the brother dogs, yall the best, every day we laugh and joke about Bradley, even though we love him the jokes are endless and hilarious. To the Pillows, y’all are the best the days and nights that we’ve geeked about whatever we’ve talked about are endless. IT MUST BE TRUE! Y’all boys mean everything to me. To all my best friends, you all are a great group of people, and hoping we never break this bond. The times we’ve spent together I’d never take for granted. Appreciate all boys, some of the best times ever I would have to talk forever to cover all of it.

H. Salinas “You don’t need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!” - John Lennon I thank my family for being so supportive and loving towards me and my interests over these years. They have been such a prominent part of my life and I appreciate them sticking with me throughout it. I’d also like to thank the friends and friendly people I have met here at Severn who have been so kind towards me and helping me in finding myself. The same applies to Mr. Giddings, Mr. Redei, and Dr. Patterson for all their work in the theater department and making the shows I was in amazing experiences I would not trade for anything. Additionally, I thank Ms. Campbell, a former teacher who supported my interests and passions including my series of “Mort” drawings on the board, and Mr. Donn for sparking my passion for music and putting up with my recurring band room invasions. Without them, I would definitely not feel as free as I do to express my creativity. Severn School has been a great four years for me, and I hope to find people as amazing as those in this school at St. John’s.

Mom and Dad: I love you guys even though we don’t agree your opinion of me has always been in the back of my head and I’m certain that in this life I will feel accomplished. Especially with all the money and effort you guys put in to making my life better than what some of my friends deal with. I thank you for the wisdom that i use in my everyday life.

We are proud of you each and every day and can’t wait to see what your future holds. “It’s good to be with you” “Hip Hip Hooray…It’s official!” “We love you and that will never change”… Love, Mom, Dad, Collin, Brady, & Gavin 340

Bryce Feldmaier

Dear Bryce, It has been an amazing journey to watch you become such a fine young man. From the early days of building Legos, you have always been creative. Creating your own pair of custom Air Jordan 1 sneakers (@chesapeakesneaks), establishing a successful graphic design business (@bfeldy.psd), or even becoming a drone pilot, exemplifies your determination, focus and curiosity to learn.

Sports played a great role in your foundation of being coachable, ability to overcome adversity and being a great teammate. It was fun to watch you go out as back-to-back MIAA soccer champs! You’ve traveled the world to England, France, Italy, Spain, and others which inspired you to consider studying abroad soon. We hope you spread your wings and go anywhere in the world to follow your interest in international business. Most of all you’re an amazing son and great role model to three younger brothers.

If only we could get you to do your dishes and stop eating ice out of the freezer!

Love you, Mom, Dad, Brett, Brody and Brian

TOmmy Franklin

Tommy, Thank you for bringing so much joy and laughter (and even a few furbols) into our lives. Keep making donuts; petting all the dogs; learning to fail; slowing down on curves; being humble; and blaring your guitar.

By the way, we secretly love hearing ACDC at 1:00 a.m. Be brave enough to say I’m sorry, or I love you, or I forgive you. Whatever the future holds, know that we will love and support you. Always.

Love, Mom, Dad and Brooks 342

Lauren Frost

Dearest Lauren, As you embark on the next chapter of your life, it is as important to look back as it is to look forward. You have earned your degree through hard work and perseverance. Changing schools during a pandemic and dealing with the difficult social transition was certainly an experience that called for you to push yourself, and so you did. You have been and continue to be a lovely young lady, we will miss you terribly. And while missing you, we will continue to see you lead your life and choose your path. We can’t wait to see where that leads you. As you embark on this next chapter.

“Keep your face toward the sunshine and shadows will always fall behind you” (Walt Whitman) Love Mom, Dad and Christopher

Nick Garcia

Nick, We can’t believe you’re graduating from high school and heading off to college. We’re going to miss you so much. The house won’t be the same without you. You have such a good heart, and we couldn’t be prouder of the man you’ve become. You’ve always been special—clever and curious, funny and kind. The toddler who took apart the toilet tank and reassembled it with the expertise of a professional plumber. The Houdini of preschool, constantly vanishing and getting into mischief. Everyone loved you and your big smile, infectious laugh, and never-ending questions. In Kindergarten, you even managed to charm Sister Enda, the oldest and strictest nun at school. We’re glad those qualities never changed. Now you’re even smarter and more charming and resourceful, and you never fail to put others at ease. You have so much integrity and you never let other people define you. You’re the only eighteen-year-old we know who can identify vintage cars and watches easier than current models, who can whip up one of Julia Child’s recipes as easily a box of mac ‘n’ cheese, and whose playlists include more Sinatra and Dean Martin than recent hits. Always be your own person and trust your instincts. We can’t wait to see where your dreams and hard work take you!

Love, Mom, Dad & Stella

It’s time for you to spread your wings so that you can go explore and discover the man God created you to be. As you move onto the next chapter of your life, know that you can make your dreams come true. We will always be here for you, supporting you, rooting for you and praying for you. Never stop praying and be sure to find the beauty in each day. We will treasure the memories and we are so excited for what is to come. We know you will do great things. We love you.

Love Mom, Dad, & Dom Dear Hayden We are so grateful to have been blessed with a grandson like you. You never fail to make us proud. This is just one of your many achievements to come. We send lots of love and luck your way as you prepare to step into the next chapter of your life. You can achieve whatever you want in life.

All you must do is believe that you can and you will succeed. We believe in you. We love you.

Mia Groff

From the moment you were born, you lit up the entire room! It’s wonderful to see that 18 years later you still light up everywhere you go! We are so proud of the young woman you have become, and we can’t wait to see what your future holds. High school graduation is such a bittersweet time for parents. On one hand, we’re excited to see what your next chapter brings. But on the other hand, we are sad that you won’t be the constant “happy” in our house. We know you will bring to your next adventure the same sense of joy you have always brought us. We love you very much and we couldn’t be more proud of you!

Congrats baby girl!

Love you, Mom, Dad, Bay, Yogi & Tank 349

Beckett Harriman

Beckett, Five minutes ago you were a small boy running on the beach with Stella. Before we could blink, you were building underwater robots, searching for shark teeth, 3D printing products, writing code, starting companies, and building stores.

Today, your creativity and exceptional problem-solving skills fix our computers, tune up our cars, and blow-up social media for the Red Flags podcast. And you do it all independently of us, with tenacity and a wonderful, shiny sense of humor.

You’ve always known exactly who you are. The rest of the world just had to wait until you were ready to show us.

As Grandpa would say, keep showing up. Keep surprising everyone, including yourself. Embrace difference and stand up for it with your whole heart. Let intuition be your guide. And always remember, family is everything.

We are all very very proud of you!

Kate Hilburn

donovan jacobs

Over the last 19 years, we have learned a lot about you: When you rolled over at 1 month and could run at 10 months, we knew you had the hunger to perpetually strive to reach your goals.

When I came into your room at age 7 when you were supposed to be asleep and saw you writing poetry, I knew your tough exterior belied an unusually creative and thoughtful side.

When you dove into the Severn River to help your campers who capsized in a storm, we realized how brave and selfless you are.

When we walked down the street in New York and you said “How are you?” to each person asking for money and asked “Why can’t we help them all?” I knew that you had a good heart and would always do the right thing.

The first time you saw a mountain, you pointed to the top and said “I want to go there!”….Just keep saying that and you are going to get just where you want to be in life.

We are proud of you without measure.

We love you without limit.

You have always been fearless with new adventures in your life. We would be worried and you would be excited. You have worked so hard to get to this point in your life. We have been amazed how you have handled health hurdles, school assignments and sport commitments. With this new adventure waiting for you we will take some of your advice and we will watch you with excitement. We know you will do amazing things. Enjoy your college education, and take the time to discover what you really love.

Ben, It seems like just yesterday that I would take you to Weem’s Creek and then afterward we would stop for breakfast at Harvest Bread. “I can’t wait to ride that bus!” you used to say when we picked up Jack from the bus stop. It has been a pleasure seeing you grow into a terrific young man. Whether it be in the classroom, in the water polo pool, on the waterways, or on the chess board, your hard work and dedication to achieve your goals have always amazed me. You remind me of another special person. We are all so very, very proud of you. Love, Dad

Rohan Lakhanpal

Dear Rohan, as you start the next chapter of your life, we can only look back and marvel at your journey-from a shy, hesitant 3 year old entering Huggs Day School to a strapping 17 year old confident young man graduating from Severn.

We’ve had our share of challenges through the years but you’ve always overcome them and come out more mature and resilient with each passing year.

“Do No Harm”, if you follow this Mantra for the rest of your life, it’ll automatically lead you down the path of kindness, humility and truth. If you continue to strive to excel in whichever profession you choose, success will follow, no matter what!

But in the end, do whatever makes you happy and gives you peace of mind! You are our pride and joy and we love you!! And remember, we’re always here for you, no matter what the circumstances are! Your well-being is and will continue to be the top priority of our lives!!

All the best for your future!

Lots of Love!!

We can only imagine what lies in store for you and we can’t wait to see what’s next. We will be there, cheering you on, all the way.

Despite the challenges of the last few years - virtual learning and a new school- you have achieved so much and remained eternally optimistic!

Little did we know that signing you up for summer sailing camp would lead you to your life’s passion. It has been a joy to witness your tenacity and determination on the water. You will do amazing things in your next chapter at RWU! Congratulations! We love you! Mom, Dad, Beau & Buddy 369

Conor, Wow – 0 to 18 in 60 seconds flat! Congratulations to a kind-hearted, smart, talented, sometimes-sarcastic, always-hilarious son! We are so proud of you.

From preschool at Chesapeake Academy to graduating from Severn, each year was unique and better than the one before.

There were plenty of songs, homework, speeches, struggles, victories, tears, and laughs during the past 15 years. Alongtheway, you were blessed with great teachers, coaches, and administrators who helped mold you and a terrific senior class that will be your lifelong friends.

Before you know it, you’ll be headed off to college for a new adventure - and a new, important chapter of your life. While we are sad you will be leaving, perhaps no one more than your sister, we all look forward to watching you grow and chase your dreams. If you think high school went fast, college is certain to pass in the blink of an eye. Enjoy every minute!

Forge ahead with confidence and compassion. Be a friend to one and to all. Strive for success but remember to bring others along with you. Attack each day, each moment, and every experience with passion and enthusiasm. And, finally, have some fun!

Love, Dad, Mom, and Reagan

Smart, brave, funny, a true friend, and a leader by example – these are special attributes that will carry you to BC and far beyond. You’re as tough as steel while maintaining a heart of gold.

Kyle, You will always be my favorite experiment. Time is a strange thing. It’s hard to appreciate what you have until you are looking back on it. When you were born, I was there to hold you and give you comfort. Then I held your hands until you could walk on your own. You grew so fast, and I was forced to stand behind you as you began to explore on your own and no longer needed my hand. Now as you sail off on your own journey in life, I will have to watch you from afar. Always know life is like the ocean, calm one moment, dangerous and rough the next. When the winds and waves are against you, adjust your sails and know that my light will guide you home. You can always find me where the sand meets the waves. Be your best, your time is limited so do not waste it trying to be someone else. Go explore, dream, and discover, write your own story, and fulfill your own purpose and potential. Clear skies and fair winds son! Thanks for making me a father and a better man.

Love Dad!

Dear Konner, While you have grown and changed in abundance over the years, there are many things about you that have remained constant since you were young. Your natural curiosity, commitment to learning and exploring, care and love for your family, perfectionist and driven personality, loyalty to your friends, and of course, your passion for fishing, even when it means taking time out to explain how to tie a knot for the 100th time or passing the rod to someone else to reel in the catch of the day. We are so incredibly proud of the son, brother, leader, teammate, and friend you have been all of your life and know that your rare and genuine thoughts and actions will continue to positively shape your life. Stay true to yourself, know how much you are loved, take some good risks, and make an impact in the world around us for the better. Remember your “street name” and look for the Hellcat parking sign coming soon in Boston. You are the best and we are all so proud—we love you!

We are so looking forward to everything you will still accomplish—and we can’t wait to go to more hockey and other sporting events with you, even if it will be in rival territory in Boston.

We love you. Have fun. Remember, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Keep taking your shots.

BB love, If they lined up every young man that ever was, is, and will be, each and every time I would choose you to be my son. Since we first locked eyes on October 6th, 2004, you have done nothing but bring light, laughter, and happiness to my life. I’m at a loss of words, which you know doesn’t happen often, to fully express my love and admiration for who you have become. My most prized accomplishment and role in life has been to be your and Evan’s momma. Though our house will miss your tinkering and many projects, it’s time for you to go out and do you B. My faith in your ability to do something great is sure and solid.

At all times listen to your inner voice and be true to yourself. Your insight is spot on. And if you need a reminder of all that you are, I am only a phone call away. Continue to surprise us all with what’s next. The world is a better place because you are in it.

With immense love, pride and Legos, Mom Brandon, It’s difficult to put into words just how proud I am of you. We have shared many an adventure together from Flying Cow, fishing trips, hanging out in the woods hunting, scuba diving, travel far and wide, bee keeping, raising farm animals, scouting for old car parts, looking for exotic wood for projects and flea market exploration are just a few of my favorite memories. You are a passionate, capable, and thoughtful person whom I’ve grown to admire more each day.

You are not only my son but my best friend. Your next adventures await with an amazing Europe trip and Engineering courses that I know will be well suited for you. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

With a huge amount of love and respect, Dad Brandon AKA Bees Knees, You are more than a brother but my best friend. We feed off each other’s energy! You are a great person and I know you’ll do great things at UD. Love, Evan

Dear William, it wasn’t long after you learned to walk that you were wandering off forging your own path.

“Where’s William?” was a question your mom and dad asked constantly. Even at a young age you knew exactly where you were going, and you were determined to begin your journey. And what a journey it’s been: From piano recitals and musicals, to robotics and archery, to cross-country and Scouting, you have made us proud. As you set off on your new adventure, we’ll never stop wondering “Where’s William?”, and we’ll always look forward to seeing where your independent spirit takes you.

Your never-ending commitment to becoming the best version of you is admirable and we have no doubt that you will be successful in whatever you do. We are so proud of the work you did at Severn, we loved watching you grow over the years to become the confident young lady you are today. One of many of our proudest memories is watching you move on in your Junior year for the VFW speech contest, winning post, district and states and making it all the way to nationals was truly something special. We also enjoyed watching you win the IAAM soccer championship as well as watching every soccer, basketball and track meet you ran. The memories will always live on.

Someday you’ll look back at these pages and think about the people and events that shaped your high school experience. But now it’s time for something new, and as your biggest fans, we can’t wait to see what happens next! We will always be behind you every step of the way. Always be the best version of you. Good luck at Penn State! We love you more than you’ll ever know.

Love, Mom and Dad

Madi Vernon

Dear Madison, You were born the same year your dear grandmother, your Lola, passed away – bringing new life to our family. That is why you carry on her name as your middle name, Maravillosa, it means “marvelous”. You are indeed marvelous! We are so proud of you. You are so smart, kind, and compassionate!

Dad and I have enormous gratitude to God for giving us the greatest privilege of being your parents. You have always been such a great joy for us since the day you arrived! Full of life, love, laughter, and happiness. You have made our lives so very rich. You live your life with enthusiasm and purpose, driven with excellence in your academics and sports. Life with you is always accompanied with smiles, hugs, and more special moments than our family could ever have dreamed. Your brothers, Cam and Cole, love you more than you can ever know. You guys are the best of friends. You make everything in life that much more fun!

We can’t wait to see the impacts you bring to our world and the people you will bring good to. We will always be there to support you, love you, and celebrate with you. We love you, Madison, more than you will ever know! Good luck in your next journey and chapter in your life!

Love, Mom, Dad, Cam and Cole.

Sage-o-rama, sweetie girl, You are the most precious gift a family could ever receive. Sage, since the day you were born you have amazed us and have brought so much joy to our lives! From walking at 9 months to playing lacrosse with the boys at three years old, you have inspired us with every accomplishment. You are the person who goes out and gets what she wants. You plot a course and make it happen. We love your determination and dedication to all aspects of your life. We can't wait to see what the future holds for you!

We are so proud of you! Enjoy your journey. All our love; Mom, Dad, Mikey, Bear, Dewey & Delilah 399

Aidan Whiteside

Bear (Charles / Aidan), You have always forged your own path and we have always been in awe of your strength. The risks you take are sometimes scary but we absolutely love and admire your fearlessness; from speaking up for yourself in school and work, to the occasional neighborhood “dart night drama” or last but not least the sexiest man on the cruise ship skit; love it! You are that rare and unique person who is always true to yourself. Unwavering in your beliefs and to what you know is true. You have so much to offer this world!

We are so proud of you! Enjoy your journey. All our love; Mom, Dad, Mikey, Sage, Dewey & Delilah

Jourdon Willett

Jourdon.

It has been our honor to watch you grow from our baby boy into the exceptional young man that you have become.

You have a great future ahead of you, and we look forward to watching you explore this next chapter in your life.

I’m sure it will be as exciting and fulfilling as the last.

Love Mom and Dad

402

Jourdon, when I think of you, I smile. From day one of your life, you have awed me. Truly, you have repeatedly exceeded my expectations, on a social , and academic, level. We, your family, are so proud of you. Going forward, continue to aim high, be kind, and patient, with yourself. Life will unfold many challenges. I pray you will maintain your gifts of caring and sharing. You are loved, and will be loved, through all phases of your life. Your very proud grandma, Debra

Ammar Yusuf

Dearest Ammar, Truth is we were always proud of you and will always be regardless of all achievements certain to come with time. We didn’t need a reason to love you, but you have given us plenty. We always knew you were so much and so much more. So much of your wonder is evident for all to see and so much else that we know you are, the world will learn in time and the world will be better for it.

And as always, learn your lessons as inexpensively as possible and remember in some ways success carries the seeds of failure and failure carries the seeds of success... so keep presence of mind.

Remember, live life always... as just one in a multitude and sea of humanity but then also live life ultimately as if it were about you-your character, your values, your integrity. Live life as a servant and in service, and then the world, society, and community will know the A’s we always knew we had. Now go out there and be you!

We will always be your biggest fans.

Love, Mama, Papa, Zach, Grandpa, Grandpa Alhaji, Grandma Alhaja (and Grandma)

Isabel Zurowski

Isabel, We couldn’t possibly be more proud of the faithful, strong, passionate, person of conviction you have become.

You’ve never been one to go along with the crowd, and have always held strong in your belief system and refused to be swayed. You’ve been wise beyond your years for as long as we can remember. We know we’ve told you many times, but with all of the things for which you have made us proud, your desire to include those who may be left out, and to see it through in every situation you encounter has been an overwhelming source of pride for us as your parents. No one has ever been unworthy of your friendship, you have always opened your arms to make the circle wider to bring others in. You have the unique gift of ensuring that everyone is included. Congratulations to the perfect girl that completed our family.

We love you endlessly, Mom & Dad

404

Linnea AlSted

Linnea, we are so proud of what you’ve become. Always remember that you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

You will soar!

Throughout these four years you have worked so hard and always given your best, with this we know you are bound for tremendous success. We can’t wait for all the places you will go and the adventures you will have in life. Don’t forget to have FUN along the way! Be strong, be confident, be YOU!!

We love you, Mom, Dad and Cari

Cole Fairweather

Dear Cole, You have forbidden us from writing GUSHY PROSE about your undisputed favorite child status, superior intellect, record for height in our family, benevolence, diligent routine of racing home to walk dogs, ability to never curse, pristine cleanliness in your room/car, healthy sleep habits, avoidance of candy, swiftness to answer a text, and untapped singing talent, especially the high notes. Instead the real things: You are a wonderful son, brother and friend. You make us laugh, are kind and are a true original.

You have challenged yourself both in school and personally and grown into an incredible person. We could not love you more or be more proud.

Love, all of us

406

Gunner Foote Gunner, Congratulations!

Love you more, Mom, Dad, Jordan and Hank Congratulations Gunner!

You have our love, support and encouragement in all your lifelong endeavors.

Love always, Nana & PopPop

Jack Giardina

Dear Jack: Dad and I are so proud of you and all that you’ve accomplished. It has been so wonderful to watch your love of everything tech, music and general curiosity to understand how things work grow over the years. Whether fishing in the Chesapeake Bay or Pine Island sound, you always manage to bring a sense of humor and, of course, competition to the occasion. Your empathy and old soul make you one of a kind Jack. Keep wondering about things and taking care of the people around you, even when your mom calls you and asks for the 100th time how to reset the Apple TV. We cannot wait to see what the next chapter holds for you. Love, Mom, Dad, Andrew, Rigby and Rosie

407

Kate Grattan

Ever since you were a little girl you have amazed us with your positivity, your kindness, and your courage. Whatever the challenge, you have tirelessly risen to the occasion and made wonderful friends all along the way. Watching you perform has brought us so much joy and we hope that you continue to be brave and follow your dreams wherever they may lead you. We are all so very proud of you and we love you more than you will ever know.

Love, Mom, Dad & Sam

Muhammad Hammmad

Dear Hammad, Congratulations Hammad on graduating high school! I want to start off by saying that I am so immensely proud of your achievement throughout your high school career.

Seeing your dedication and perseverance has truly made me see the success you are capable of in the future. A word of advice from your mom is that you should always remember that trusting yourself and having faith will always lead you to achieve anything you desire. You are braver than you believe and smarter than you think.

Your parents will always be with you. I pray that you fulfill all your dreams. The most important thing to us in the entire world is your precious smile. Stay happy.

Love, Mom & Dad

Drew Hayden

We are so proud of the young man you have become. From your very early days, you have been the definition of chill. You easily rolled with whatever came your way, but those who know you best understand that there is a fire that burns inside of you.

While you have the ability to get along with people from all walks of life, you are a fierce defender of your friends and family if anyone tries to cross them. You also tap into that fire when faced with challenges whether they be academic, athletic or otherwise. Stay true to yourself and this life will be an incredible journey. Thank you for the amazing ride you have taken us on in your first 18 years and we look forward to what the future holds. We leave you with this quote from Mark Twain “20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Love, Mom, Dad and Abby.

Lots and lots of love, Dad, Mom, John, Sam, Reba, Ty & Lindz P.S. Thank you for Starbucks runs and spending your gas money on us. Expect many many visits! We love you!!- Sam & Reba

Maddie Howell Maddie Grace, Words cannot express how much your entire family loves you and how proud we are of the amazing young woman you have become! We vividly recall the day you eagerly ran into your first classroom at just 2 1/2 years old during Mom’s Morning Out. Since then, you have continued to “run” into your love for learning, nurturing your unique ideas, and growing into a motivated, intelligent, loyal, and caring person. It has been a privilege to witness your growth, from the unbreakable bond you share with Mack to your captivating performances on stage and your unwavering compassion for others. Your hard work and dedication throughout your academic journey have been extraordinary, and we are excited to see what lies ahead for you at BU and beyond. Congratulations, Sweetie!

Remember that you have your family by your side forever and always!

Mom & Dad Promise to remember me when you get into the Big Leagues. I wish you the best in Boston and beyond, no matter what you do. I love you and nothing will change that! I love the friendship we have & I won’t trade it for anything!

Love, Your #1 Fan, best friend, & younger brother

Will Kistler

Dear Will!

How can it be?? How can you already be a senior in HS heading to the U of Richmond in the Fall! It truly seems like yesterday that we were taking you home from the hospital in a January blizzard! From the kid who couldn’t sleep through the night, you seemed to have mastered the art of sleeping!

Where there’s a Will, there’s a way . . . This is so true- Will Kistler you have always been willful, strong, determined, opinionated, sweet, smart and funny! You are the whole package!

We are so proud of you and the way you have navigated school, Covid (I think you thrived), friendships, sports and family! You are a cool dude! Thank you for enjoying the college process- and we can’t wait to see how you embrace the next chapter in your life. We know you will have much success in whatever you set your mind to! We love you very much! Xo, Mom, Dad, Kate, Duncan, Fenway, Deac + the G-parents!

Love, Mommy, Da, and Talia

Breden Reilly B-Bop, Brenner, Bay, Brenace the Menace, Our Son You were the most beautiful baby, a cherub of light and joy. A cheeky toddler, brave, obstinate and filled with boundless and infectious energy. A delightful boy, most kind and sensitive, and always a friend to all. A teenager, filled with curiosity and good intentions, and thirst for learning. Now, a young man, ready to take on the world.

You played baseball, threw footballs, went ice climbing and white water rafting, climbed ancient temples and sailed Amalfi, explored castles and skied double blacks, rode elephants and huge zip lines, from Rome to Tokyo, Bangkok to Galway, Costa Rica to Cambodia, and we have cherished every moment. We have loved your poems and stories, your impassioned arguments at the dinner table, your dramatic stage performances and your strength and determination to overcome any obstacle. We have loved to watch you grow up and we are so proud of you. We all love you lots, Mum, Dad, Jared, Charlotte and Bronte.

HEnry Salinas

Henry— H-Dog! Henrico Inglesias! We know that no matter where you go or what you do, you’ll remain the loving, kind, open-minded, creative, gentle, intelligent person you’ve always been.

Nick Sotiropoulos Dear Nick, When you were born, we crossed our fingers that your early smiles and generous hugs would follow you through to adulthood. You never really had the terrible twos, you rarely cried, and never spent a day wondering what to do or how to occupy yourself. You were never bored. Ever. Every day was an adventure, and you were game for anything with anyone at any time.

Now, as you prepare to head off to college, we are so happy to see that you have not changed in this regard. You are confident, positive, and happy. You can connect with anyone, you are always up for something new, and, most importantly, you bring people along for the ride. Your smile remains generous, and your personality is effervescent.

You are an example to your brothers, and we are proud of the young man you have become. Συγχαρητήρια! Σε αγαπάμε!

JAcob ToDD

Congratulations, Jacob!!

We could not be more proud of who you have become. We hope you have enjoyed these last four years as much as we have. Your next challenge and opportunity awaits! Set goals, work hard, but don’t forget to be present for the journey.

Love, Mom, Dad, and Nick “Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”

A Message from the Editor This year’s 2022-2023 Severn Yearbook title, “Let’s Actually Glow” was inspired by the Adaptive Challenge the students created in the summer.

This was our first normal year back since COVID, so we wanted to make this year’s yearbook special.

Although the Yearbook staff was one of the biggest we’ve had in many years, we still faced many challenges. Documenting this year was tough, with tracking down teachers and students while also trying to be in the right place at the right time. From dressing up for Wacky Wednesday, to supporting friends on the field or on stage, to pouring your heart out at Trivia Night, there’s never a dull moment here at Severn.

This year we tried something different. In contrast to previous yearbooks with white or light color backgrounds, we decided to go with black, matching our theme perfectly. Doing this shows the new start to Severn, our first real year back since the 2018-2019 school year. Since this year marks that turning point, we felt as though it was best to show this in our yearbook.

The contrast of the black background and neon colors makes this year stand out from the rest.

When you go through this yearbook I hope you share smiles and laughter with your friends. And in the years to come, when you flip through these pages, I hope we are all reminded of the fun memories shared within our community. These past couple of years have shown us that we never know what will happen next. I advise you all to take every opportunity given and to not take anything for granted.

Cameron Christie
