A REASON TO CELEBRATE:
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2015
O
N JUNE 6, Viewpoint celebrated the
graduation of the 111 students in the Class of 2015. Family, friends, faculty, and students gathered under a white tent on Ring Family Field for an elegant commencement ceremony, which included performances by the Upper School Vocal Ensemble and Chorus and members of Upper School Strings. President of the Viewpoint Educational Foundation Dr. Bob Dworkoski welcomed the audience and commended the graduates’ hard work and many accomplishments. OUR COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER, actor, film producer,
philanthropist, and parent Pierce Brosnan, shared the story of his journey as a young artist and performer on the streets of London to his international success in television and film. Although justifiably proud of his accomplishments in the entertainment
Pierce Brosnan
industry, Mr. Brosnan’s greatest satisfaction comes from his ongoing work as a steward of the environment. He acknowledged that we face great challenges in solving the world’s environmental issues, but he is hopeful for the future. Mr. Brosnan encouraged our graduates not to shy away from life’s big challenges. Never fear to act; you can make a difference. SALUTATORIAN CURRAN MODY’S thoughtful words reflected
upon the warm friendships that have formed among the members of the graduating class. Dina Hamer, the Class of 2015's Valedictorian, expressed her profound gratitude to her family, friends, and teachers. She then concluded by sharing some of the wisdom gained from her own life experiences: “FINALLY, ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE LESSONS I have learned
and will take with me as I enter adulthood is that hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. I stand up here today saying your classmates see you, your teachers see you, and most of all, Viewpoint sees you. Awards and titles are but bits and pieces of all the knowledge and wisdom we have accumulated over the years. Achievement is truly something intangible, as are all meaningful things in life.”
VIEWPOINT CONGRATULATES THE CLASS OF 2015 and encourages
each graduate to remain connected to each other and to our Viewpoint community.Together, you will make great things happen!
