On Monday, June 10, the Upper School community gathered in Centennial Hall for Class Day to recognize and celebrate student achievements for the 2018-2019 school year.

Third Grade Teacher Susan Mills, who started teaching at Bryn Mawr in 1975, addressed the class of 2019, and reflected on the joy in finding purpose and the importance of taking time for self discovery. Mills said, “Like the well-prepared traveler, you may think you already know what you wish to study. Many of you have chosen your schools and colleges knowing that they offer courses that match your current interests. I commend you for already having identified what interests you, but the well-prepared traveler who diligently follows the itinerary without ever deviating from it may miss the best discovery. As you step away from Bryn Mawr, seek out what calls your name and set out to find the joy of your purpose.”

Following the speeches, Class Day awards were announced and leaders from Student Government Association, Athletic Association, Environmental Coalition, Community Service Learning, Arts Council and Community Alliance for Everyone (CAFE) passed the gavels to the incoming president of each organization.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, the seniors were officially welcomed into the Alumnae Association. Congratulations to all of the award winners and to the Class of 2019!
