Today is the Onward celebration for our graduates. These are the stories we hear consistently. This phrase on the hat is a book shared at camping trip orientation week. How and why they are doing away with us I will never know. But I will go and celebrate today with my Kleenex handy!

(Make sure to bring tissues!)
