SPRING STREET SCHOOL

Eight leave Spring Street ready for the world

posted 06/11/01
More than 200 people applauded as the eight members of Spring Street School Class of 2001 graduated Sunday, June 10. The small class had two valedictorians -- Joe Spadafora and Derin Ross. Spadafora performed a rap version of his speech. Ross followed her speech with a heartfelt thanks to her mom, Jana Ross -- senior Mom extraordinaire.

Guest speaker, Dr. Frank James, expounded on Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hahn's five principles on how to be happy.

  • Reverence for life
  • Generosity
  • Fidelity
  • Deep listening and loving speech
  • Consuming

After speeches, slide show, presentation of scholarships and diplomas, the graduates and guests gathered in the Gubelman Room. Brenda Morbauch presented a button blanket to Ross. Morbauch made it in the spirit of Ross' accomplishments and recognition of the graduate's accomplishments.
