June is a wonderful and yet bittersweet time for New Jersey’s school districts. It is marked by celebrations of the many accomplishments of our students, and difficult partings as we bid our senior class goodbye and wish them well on their most exciting journey into adulthood. I say “happy beginnings” because that exactly what this is – the beginning of a new journey in life.
I would like to share with our all of New Jersey’s graduates the sentiments of one of our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Every generation needs a new revolution.”
Whatever that revolution is to be, whatever its purpose, it will be written by each student we send off into the world. We again look to the next generation to help us redefine the possible. The character and values will determine not only our destiny, but of those, we send forward.
Therefore, along with all parents, guardians, other family members, teachers, and staff, the NJASA joins in congratulating an exceptional group of young people that I am confident will improve the world they live in as they pursue their uniquely individual future paths.
