Skylar DeGeorge,You probably don't remember this but in the soccer season I was crying one day and you probably thought it was just because of Soccer. It was partially because of Soccer but there's also things going on at home. You told me that it didn't matter what this certain coach thought because you thought I was good at soccer and I should to. You made me feel so much better and I'm so glad you were there to talk to me that day. Thank you and I wish you the best in college and anything else you are doing in your future. I love you and never forget how you helped me and strive to help others the way you did me because it really helped.-Vida Lopez (Freshman)

Gabe Cruz,A role model to me because the way you play soccer. It is amazing the way you move the ball and on the pitch and when you coached our VSA futsal, you helped us do well.

Basma Marghany,Thank you so much for being my inspiration since I came to high school. You've always made me feel better whether it was track or cross country, or even if I just saw you in the hallway. Your smile is so contagious, and unlike the coronavirus that ruined your senior year, your smile is something that SHOULD be spread as it brings pure happiness to everyone. You're one of the most genuine souls I know, and though it'll be tough to fill in your shoes next year, I promise I'll try my best. Good luck in college, and make sure to visit next year! I love you till the end of time!!-Vidhi Desai (Junior)

Dear Victoria Esteves and Jessica Kovac, Thank you for making my school year (unfortunately, partial) an enjoyable year filled with laughter and memories. Even though I cannot be physically there for your high school graduation (in which I had promised to attend) I am giving you a message that I would have if I had been there.As you leave your 12 years of school behind, a new chapter has begun in your life. You are stepping into a life of independence, and a time where you choose who you want to be. I am wishing all the best, in college and everything else, and that you may find your true self among others. Wishing you and your families great health, and that we may see each other soon (when possible).
Speak to you soon, Paulina Grodzki (Junior)
P.S. Give me back my HÅMŠTËR...

To Emily Crowell and Katie Lopes,Thank you for being such great role models to me. Three years ago when I was a freshman you were the girls that I learned and followed from and made me the student athlete that I am today. I have been cheering with you girls since Pop Warner and knowing that you are leaving makes my heart ache. All the fun memories we had on the football field, competitions, and even decorating houses together were amazing and unforgettable, but now it’s time for you both to start the next chapter of your lives and create new memories. I wish the best of luck to you and I will truly miss you. Love ya :)-Natasha Roman (Junior)

I hope all of you enjoyed your high school experience and I wish everyone the best in college and for the future! Remember that even though you couldn’t fulfill the last few months of high school, reminisce on all of the other great memories and friends you have made so far in your life. Life is short and make every day count! Lastly, thank you to all the seniors who have helped and been so friendly to me during classes, clubs, and sports that I’ve had with you guys. Go off and turn all of your dreams and goals into a reality! Good luck Class of 2020!!💙💛-Alexa Leviten (Sophomore)

I want to congratulate my sister Melanie Oliva on her graduation and wish her best of luck next year at Stockton University!-Matthew Oliva (Junior)

Times may be tough right now, but I can say for a fact the world will pull through, us included. It seems like things are already looking up so we may be out of this sooner than we think. I honestly don't know a lot of the seniors, but the ones I do know I can tell will do anything they can to make up for all of the lost time while we were stuck indoors, and I hope the rest of the senior class will do the same. Just because you lost half of your last year doesn't mean you lost the memories of all the past years. It also doesn't mean you've missed your chance to make new memories with the people you hang out with, who you might not see for a while when it's all said and done. Life will go on and get better, no matter how much this pandemic may have struck you. Goodbye seniors, I will miss those I know, and whether I know you or not I hope all of you have a great time in college and beyond. -Matthew Barbosa (Junior)

I'm so thankful for all of the friendships that I have created with the current seniors at our school. I am so sad to think that I won't get to say goodbye in a proper way. Best of luck to the graduates, I am positive you will do great things in life.-Victoria Gomez (Junior)

I have played soccer for the Colonia High School team since freshman year. When I was a freshman, I met someone else on the team who at the time was a Sophomore. His name was Jesse Warth. I started talking to him while in the locker room and during fundraisers, and we really got along. He is such a positive person and he made everything more fun. I am sad that he is leaving but I know that he will continue to make people smile in the future. Good luck Jesse!-Jack Reilly (Junior)

Best of luck in the future, I am extremely proud of every single one of you. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Dear Seniors, I’m sorry your senior year was cut short. Although a sorry can’t do much, or bring back the spring sports, prom, or the other adventures you were going to make with your best friends or classmates, just know there is so much coming your way. You’re going to college and I believe you all will have the best time of your lives. You’ll be choosing classes that help you get to where you want to be, staying up all night having fun or studying, and making new friends. A new environment, a new beginning seems just about right for all of you at this time. Whether you’re staying in state or out of state you all will do great. Every single one of you have talent. Maybe you don’t know what that talent is, but you’ll most definitely find it soon. I wish nothing but the best for every single one of you. The class of 2020 deserves it all!-Katelyn Beauport (Junior)
