A message to the graduates:

It has been one wild ride this year, BUT YOU MADE IT!

I am so happy and thankful to have been able to play such a role in helping us all work together to make it through this year—make it through all the challenges you have had to face.

I wish you all the very best in everything you choose to do!

— Ms. Haflich
