"We will forever hold a special place for Anne in our class and in our hearts," said Walcek.Īfter a moment of silence, Bill and Martha Mudrick, Anne's parents, were presented with a token of remembrance from the graduating class.Īs beach balls and caps flew through the air following the receiving of diplomas, the group entered the gym as students and walked out as Dover High's graduating class of 2011.ĭOVER - The following is a list of the Dover High School Class of 2011 graduates. Megan Walcek spoke of the class' effort to remember Mudrick each year by releasing balloons on the anniversary of her death. The celebratory evening wasn't just for those in attendance, however, as the memory of Anne Mudrick, who passed away during her freshmen year, was recognized as well. "Whatever you accomplish, rejoice in it, be proud of it, and don't settle for being anything less than the best you that you can be," said Walcek. Keep that spirit, insisted Walcek, noting that finding that thing that motivates oneself will truly lead to success - a happy life. She urged her peers not to fear the challenges that lay ahead of them, and to be open to collaboration with others. Regardless of what each student remembers about Spirit Week, Walcek asked that they remember the class was one. "We've had our fair share of success over these past four years," said Walcek with a smile, reminding her classmates of wins in events like dodge ball and tug of war. She cited Spirit Week as an example of unwavering unity and support. Megan Walcek, valedictorian and class president, asked her peers to leave the ceremony bravely and to remember in times when they are feeling vulnerable that they will have continual support from the contacts they have made during their time in the Dover school system. Myers offered the graduates a set of challenges, asking that they explore all they are able to, take chances whenever possible, get involved and help those in need, figure out what they are passionate about and preserve the character that they have developed during their stay in Dover. He commended them for all that they have been able to adapt to, noting that such a quality will take them far in their future endeavors. Mayor Scott Myers spoke of the many areas of technology that have advanced while the group of students has made its way through the school system. As many graduates will go on to secondary education, the work force, and a dozen or so into various military fields, Ma pleaded with his class to return the gift their teachers and coaches have given to them by being the change they wish to see in this world. Quoting Mahatma Gandhi, he encouraged his peers to make an impact in the world, no matter what they choose to do. "Each of us has a job to do, and I believe that all of us will do it well," said Ma. He insisted that no matter the relationship the students had with the educators, whether they liked their method of teaching or not, they have taught him and his classmates something that they will take with them nonetheless. Salutatorian Allen Ma echoed some of the superintendent's sentiments, asking his peers to think of the many teachers they have come across during their time in the city's school system. "Your parents have given you roots, your education will give you wings," said Briggs Badger. Briggs Badger instructed the group to take the time to reflect on all their parents and teachers have provided them to make such an accomplishment a reality.
She asked that the students recognize not only where they will be going after receiving their diplomas, but also to focus on what got them to that point. "I would like you to consider another word tonight," said Briggs Badger, "And that word is gratitude."
