It is difficult to express the scope of emotions everyone experienced these last 10 months, but perhaps a roller coaster best describes it. The nervous anticipation, the raw excitement, the hopeful exhilaration—a great deal was riding on this year. Together, RYNJ students boarded this roller coaster year, held on tight through the ups and downs, and now that the ride has come to a stop, they can exit with a smile—and are eager to climb aboard again in the fall. This ride required a certain height; they all surely grew even more together from it.

Beyond the figurative roller coaster, the incredible students of the Class of 2021 have enjoyed their last two days of fun and excitement. In thrilling fashion, Hershey Park was a blast, the banquet was delicious, the award ceremony was memorable and Dutch Springs Aqua Park was phenomenal. Throughout the graduates were at their best—thoroughly enjoying themselves with appreciation as always. Each step of the way was immediately followed by countless thank yous.

This has been an extraordinarily unique ride. Thank you to the parent body for partnering along. RYNJ is encouraged by the graduates and firmly stands behind each and every one of them as they boldly move on to their next adventure.
