Anders Graduates!!!




Graduation!
4 years have zipped by (sometimes super quick like greased lightening, and at other times super slow like a herd of snails racing through peanut butter.) It's remarkable what Anders accomplished, and we could not be prouder of him. He made it through having to abandon his high school due to toxic chemical contamination and attend high school at an abandoned Macy's.  He made it through the Covid-19 pandemic years, where one complete year was a remote year of only online learning, and the other years were laced with fear and the unknown. He managed to thrive despite this, both academically and socially.  He formed a wonderful network of friends despite the obstacles.  He was on the Ultimate team, the Nordic team, the Volleyball team, and a member of the National Honor Society. He had a mentor and took classes with a master jeweler in her studio.  He was a part of Very Merry Theater where he secured his love of theater.  Words cannot capture the grit, the internal drive, the dedication that Anders hung onto throughout it all. He was remarkable in every way. We celebrated with family and friends with a fantastic dinner at Pulcinellas and a giant party at home the day after with 75 of us gathered. This was no small feat.  Nope.  This was all all of him.  Congratulations Anders!
