A Message from the Senior Class Office

Dear Seniors,

As Class Officers, you have entrusted us with power by electing the few of us to lead our class. There was no way anyone could have predicted that we would have to lead through some of the darkest times for our community and our world. The prom, senior trip, graduation ceremony, and more were all robbed from you. There is no finger to point and no one to blame; this was unavoidable. People who have graduated or haven’t yet may say that we don’t understand or “it’s not all that great.” But they don’t understand that you were robbed. It was not just the ceremonies and events. It was the final days in the halls, the last bell ring. It was the teachers standing on the building near the senior lot to say goodbye. Those people, they had their opportunity; whether they enjoyed it does not dictate what you should have been able to experience. With, emphasis on the word “should.” We as leaders promise you that we will turn that “should” into a “will.” You have elected us to lead, which includes the bright and the dark times. So you will get what you were robbed of. We will not get our celebration today. We will not get it tomorrow. But believe us when we say that there will be a day. You will, non-virtually, celebrate your time at SKHS with all of your classmates. What those events look like, we do not know, however, we are positive that these events will be far better than the original plans. For now, we will celebrate how we can. Between the senior video and the commitment post, we are doing our best to stay connected with you. Although these are great, they are not the victory lap we envisioned. With time, these virtual celebrations will fade, and you will get the opportunity to make up for the lost time. Those days are numbered. This is not the first dark time we have encountered. Remember that we are strong. The skills and abilities you have acquired from this experience will only stand to benefit you in the future. We will enter the world with far more experience and talent than any other class ever. Lastly, we would like to say, focus on the “will.” Today is not the day, but it’s coming soon. We promise it will.
