"I am told that there are essentially two different kinds of people in this world – those who are part of the problem and those who are part of the solution. My fondest hope for you is that you find yourselves in the latter category more often than not. It simply means to keep your focus on leaving a place better for your having been there. In this regard you have a leg up, for each of you has already begun to do just that here at Sayre. Some of you have done it quietly, others more publicly; it doesn’t matter so long as you continue to just do it. Please know how much you will be missed! Thank you so very much, it has been a privilege to know you."

Upper School History Teacher
