For only the second time in Delview's history, students walked out of our school as Graduates, young men and women, ready to take on the world. Graduating is quite an accomplishment at any school, but doing so under the conditions of construction and reconfiguration... well let's just say - HATS OFF TO YOU (note: the "no hat" rule is still firmly in place)!
As you will see in the photos and videos (click: photos1 / photos2), the evening began with the second annual "Parade of the Graduates" which got the crowd of dedicated parents, friends, relatives, and
total strangers roaring with applause. Inside, scholarships and certificates were handed out. It all ended in traditional fashion with the "throwing of the caps" (see the video) which came just after our Valedictorian's (Rummy M.) speech.
"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."
T. S. Eliot
***Thanks to the Commencement Committee for organizing another amazing celebration of our grads. Thanks so much to Rahmath K. and Alia A. for spending almost 25 hours on scanning and putting together baby, grade 8, and grad photos as a backdrop for our graduates walking across the stage to receive their certificates. This went unmentioned in the credits of the program (which wrongly attributed the slide presentation to one Mr. Kung).
Finally, a warm congratulations and thank you to one of our graduates, Webmaster Edwin who made this website what it is today. You will be missed!
