"DALIT, our beautiful redhead.  A talented and skilled dancer with one of our highest averages.  I'll always remember you to be supportive and to leave me a note of grace that sustained me."

 


"JUSTINE, you love riding horses, you took a tumble, were out for  a long time but you came back, got your work done, and you got back on the horse, in every manner.   

You are an amazing young woman  

who has transcended many struggles."

 


"CARLY, quiet and organized, you always get your work done early.  You are part of a proud  

heritage as your brothers passed  

through here before you - although you  

are certainly the most beautiful."


 

"MILLIE, you lost your Mother, who would be so  

proud of you, to a bitter fight, and your life  

hasn't been an easy one, but you have overcome.  

A new world is waiting for you."

 


"SAMANTHA, our beautiful blonde who many never be a mathematician, but you are an incredible artist.  You made an magnificent painting for me which I will always cherish." 

 "EVIE, how unique a lady.  I can walk by an English classroom  or a Judaic Studies session, and there you are; teaching,  learning, and always knitting something to give away  to one in need.  You're an adept speaker and  

great teacher - it's a blessing to watch you grow." 

 

"LIORA, an angel among us.   

You care more about people than anyone I've known.   

You brought me cakes and cakes  

that were healthy, and watching you work, inspired me  

to work differently.  I'm so glad you came to us."

 

 

"DAVID, a quiet, young intellectual.  Brilliant, with a  

love of learning and a face that lights up when you discover something new.  I want to come to the party to celebrate  

Dr. David Dunsky's Nobel Laureate.   

You have so much ability in so many areas." 

"JORI, Prestige Ford said the 'best never rest,' and you never do.  I've seen you go from one project to another.  

A  most self-deprecating young lady, who rarely  

speaks of her own accomplishments.

  I'm here today to do that for you.   

You are a rare individual that G-d pointed to one day.   

He pointed with purpose." 

"COREEN, Yours is a sweet, gentle spirit.   

A beautiful, classy lady with the mind of an engineer.   

You have always treated others with great kindness. 

 "JILLIAN, you overcame illness and became one of our most delightful students. Always a happy and great performer, and I'm always so glad to see you.   

Because you spoke up in a crisis,  

you made our school stronger." 

 

"DEJENE, you came from Ethiopia and made us  

aware of so much.  It's been a pleasure to have  

you amongst us, and you are what America is  

all about.  You represent the best of what we do." 

"TOVA, a dancer extraordinaire,  

who is often traveling to perform for an audience.   

I would proclaim that you are the very best at  

talking me into something you wanted me to do."

"SHEERA, you have a most pleasant spirit.   

You are a wonderful woman with beauty in your face." 

"BENJI, G-d has a plan for you.

You are a gift with a purpose and  

you are meant to achieve." 

"ARI, you came to Yavneh and found yourself.   

You grew stronger every season, and I've watched with  

pleasure as you grew from a boy to a man." 

"MINA, many in this room have waited for this day,  

a day I promised would come.  You have dealt with  

much that has brought you here, you are a  

great organizer and one day the wording  

CEO Mina Pulitzer, will not surprise me.   

Margot would be so proud." 

"EMILY, Semper Fidelis ~ always faithful to your faith.

You've become a beautiful young woman who came through and maintained your strength of academic approach." 

"BEN, a strong mathematician who can do anything with numbers.  Too, a gentle giant, you can see  

above all others and know what is ahead.   

You well represent the family from which you come." 

"EMILY, you triumphed over learning disabilities;  

a dyslexic who became one of the strongest

editors of The Bulldog Print, one of  

Texas' strongest student newspapers.  

You success is an inspiration to all." 

"HANNAH, a quiet, sweet lady - you're dependable, organized, and you always keep your word." 

"GABBY, a quiet runner who achieves much.   

You are a strong student and one of our most potent fundraisers.  You are a unique individual with great

maturity and you have a bright future ahead." 

"YAAKOV, we agonized over you for a long time, but I'm so glad you came to us.  You had a hard time writing, but you are the strongest mechanical mind I've ever taught.   

You can build or repair anything and

I look forward to seeing your future unfold." 

"KEVIN, rock solid and organized.   

You are an ethical man, a great basketball player,

but also too, always Jonathan's 'little brother.'   

You are always concerned about doing right by everyone."  

"ILANA, who could we end with besides you?  

You have the personality that can link academics to a climb 

up the side of a mountain.  A strong Jewish woman,  

a statuesque, quiet beauty, and an honor student,

who is a competitive rock climber.   

You are a wonderful young woman."
