I remember every single one of my lovely Herons! You were such a fun class, full of enthusiasm, spirit and joy for everything we did! Some of you were Gombey's, Kiskadees and Lizards too! I'm not sure I can quite believe that soon you will all be graduated and off to follow your dreams. I hope that you will continue to love the wonderful feeling of learning something new, as you did when you spent that special first year of Saltus with me.

Congratulations!

Yes, I know the Covid 19 crisis has made us all pivot 360 degrees. But not even a worldwide crisis can change the fact that you are the Class of 2020! You are an amazing collective of individuals who make us proud.
We believe in you, we celebrate you and nothing can take away the fact that you are our SALTUS 2020 GRADUATES.
With huge regard for each of you,
Ms. Lavell]]> 2020-04-28 22:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/537687037 Thinking of you all! jbeard4553 https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/537714388 You have been a terrific group to work with. You have worked hard, and laughed a lot ! We will miss you!
But you know where we are so come back and see us often. We will always be pleased to see you.

I'm looking forward to seeing you at your graduation - whenever and in what form

To my advisory group. I am so proud to have been the only female in the this select team of extremely gifted young men for that last four years. I see the talent you have and wow...!. I am even prouder that I got you joyfully making reindeer cupcakes at Christmas! Never will I have, an advisory group again with such creativity in both the door competitions and planning advisory parties... me 'where shall we go? ...advisory - can we just stay in class and play games on our computers'? (Ms. Reeves despairs). My two psych classes, thank you for the great questions, not fainting when we dissected brains/eyes and allowing me to condition you to salivate at funny words, dye your tongues blue and make you look introspectively - I hope you learned about yourselves as much as you learned the course! It's also certainly been interesting seeing you living your best school lives online - learning from bed for some of you....no names mentioned! It's been an ABSOLUTE pleasure. I'll miss you alot. But I'll leave you will a quote: kmreeves2001 https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/538095542 “You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s problems at once, but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious, and hope can take on a life of its own.” – Michelle Obama

]]> 2020-04-29 04:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/538095542 Ms. A Smith - I am wishing my first AP BIology Class since returning to Bermuda the very best ! Your smiles, enthusiasm and general helpfulness made this a good transition for me. That speaks to the character that each of you possess. https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/538879206
I know that each of you will succeed in all of your endeavors in the future !

I taught some of you in year 3 and took some of you to Washington (it was a rather memorable visit because of another nasty virus!). I've seen you grow and change and I hope that you will take everything you have learnt in and out of school and go into the world determined to make it a better place.
Wishing you all well,
Rosie Doughty]]> 2020-04-29 11:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/538903237 This is not the way we wanted to say goodbye... brileyandnahla https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/538929083
I know as teachers we are not meant to have favourite groups but I guess I'm allowed to say you're mine - my favourite advisory of all time. I'm so proud of how you have just got on with everything. I have really fond memories of each and everyone of you.

Victor - joining us for SGY from Venezuela and watch you start new friendship groups. Always messing around with Tyler in what i thought was the 'bromance' of sgy1! I know it has been difficult for you not to play football these last few months but I hope you get to play soon. Good luck!

Kennedy - your unwavering love of musicals. I'm sorry we never got to go to Ellen's diner when we went to New York for the UNIS trip but you made that trip a great experience for me and Ms. McArthur with your witty comments and excitement for all things musical. Thank you for your joy every morning in advisory.

Tyler - there have been too many funny moments with you from Year 9 onwards. I know you hate the pregnancy joke of 'who's the smartest in the room because they have 2 brains' so I definitely want to remind you of that one ;) funny moments included the public speaking trip to Winnipeg, you telling off Jessie most of the time in GCSE Geography and well, just all your inappropriate jokes every morning which makes all of us roll our eyes. PS, I still haven't seen you on Tik Tok!

Sam - the quiet, Sam 'lion' king. I don't think i've ever known anyone who has more 'lates' than you for advisory. I really enjoyed seeing you blossom when you were awarded the Sport's Captain role. Getting to see your church skits and watching you perform in those was an honour, thank you for sharing that part of your life with me. I really wish you all the best Sam!

Jessie - I've been really proud of how you've been competing internationally alongside your studies. You have shown great resilience in not harming Tyler as he makes you the centre point of his jokes. I hope you have the best time in the UK for university :)

Emma - what a few years it has been. You have worked really hard as leader of the prom committee and i know you will have the best prom when it eventually does happen, all that hard work and the fundraising would have paid off. Nahla and I have enjoyed catching a lift with you and your mum in the mornings and hopefully we will catch up with you at Christmas!

Bella - you have always been the best one to give me netflix advice! I've loved seeing you develop this really keen interest in the environment and now you're going off to college to carry that passion on. You've shared my enthusiasm for the Christmas door competitions with India - still not sure why we didn't get a mention for take a s'elfie' or our last minute banana idea! I look forward to seeing you continue to blossom in to the kind young woman the world needs.

India - remember when you told off Mrs Ridgeway LOL. Our trip to New York was fun, you certainly know how to shop! It was also a really proud moment teaching you after school the gcse in geography and you managing to get the grade you did! I know that you're excited for university and I wish you the best with your legal career!

Cody - I do not know how you have put up with our advisory! You always have a lovely smile on your face each morning and always the politest student first thing. I hope you go on to do great things and make Bermuda proud!

Ritz WONG - the greatest fashionista in SGY2 by far. You were great fun on the UNIS trip and I loved how you connected with other students from other schools. You make everyone laugh with your dry sense of humor. DOn't think i'll ever forget you and Nuno debating ha ha! I hope you have the best time away at college, it's going to be the making of you!

Spencer, Spen, Golf, Young. How many times do you think you practised your swing in advisory? I was really worried when it came to writing your reference that was all we would have to talk about! I'm excited to see what you do at Richmond and the next stage in your life.

I have really enjoyed our morning advisory skype check ins and I will leave you with this Carole Baskin meme...Good luck my favourite advisory class, check you on the bounce!

I wish you the best as you graduate from Saltus and start a new chapter in your life! I remember many of you as three and four year olds when you entered Saltus for the first time , others I have had the pleasure of meeting during school events. As young adults heading out into the world, remember to do your best in all you do and be kind to each other.
Congratulations Graduates!

Remember that you have all made an impact at Saltus and despite the end of your school year not being as it should, remember all the good times and the contributions you have made!
Many of you were in my GCSE ICT class when I first came back to Saltus. We had such a laugh and you reminded me that Saltus students are resilient, entertaining and good people.
Take care of yourselves and most importantly BE HAPPY in whatever you do. And remember this if you have any tech issues...]]> 2020-04-29 12:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/538961874 Be Awesome! sshadboltchemteach https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/538962924 Congratulations to everyone who is graduating from Saltus this year, I wish you all the best for your futures, no matter what you are doing or where you go.

I know our paths will continue to cross and I wish you all nothing but the best for your future endeavours.

Clearly this is not the send-off we all hoped for but take these best wishes with you. Keep Saltus in your hearts forever and know that we are here for you. Best of luck and looking forward to hearing about your next chapter!
Take care, Amanda Skinner]]> 2020-04-29 13:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/539068368 Class of 2020 - congratulations, and thanks! mikeviotti https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/539082820 Looking at the list of graduates, I'm realizing that I've taught the majority of you over the past seven years. For those of you who were here since year 7 (or before), we entered the Saltus Secondary department at the same time, and I hope you appreciate how amazing it is that you've come so far.

To those of you who I've had the pleasure of teaching in AP Physics, you should know your class was one of my favorites that I've ever had. I'll think back on you all fondly. Enjoy university and all of the fun stuff that comes with it. You're all talented, capable people. Remember, you don't need a lumberjack to pour your milk.

Stay in touch!]]> 2020-04-29 13:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/539082820 Memory #1: the advisory group louiseberryman https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/539139596 I was ‘introduced’ to your year group by having Owen, Christian, Sam P and Stanley in my advisory group… Sam didn’t last that long though as he wasn’t a fan of my insistence that he sit on a chair and not lie on a table during advisory. Stanley departed for school abroad shortly afterwards so I was left with the two rebels without a cause… and, oh, how they liked to ‘test’ my patience! 😉

Good luck guys and thanks for continuing to visit me after you moved on to someone else's advisory! ]]> 2020-04-29 13:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/539139596 Memory #2: Year 8 English louiseberryman https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/539148346 I also taught one of the Year 8 groups… a ‘delightful’ bunch who (possibly instigated by our Head Girl!) spent much of their time trying to think of other things they could call me that was remotely connected to my name. The more unamused I became; the more amused they became!

Recently, Dimitri popped into reminisce about early those days, and it was fun to look back on those times!]]> 2020-04-29 13:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/539148346 Memory #3: classic quotes from my Year 11 English class louiseberryman https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/539152175 For two years, I tried to impart some English knowledge into a small group at GCSE. Keeping Jared focused for a lesson is definitely one of my finer moments; however it is that class that provided me with some of the funniest quotes in lessons.

Harry Freisenbruch dryly commented the following whilst we were studying poetry:
‘Teachers are worse than bullies. Bullies punch you and it’s over. Teachers consistently torture you.’

And I’m pretty sure that next one can be attributed to Jared Souza but I may be wrong!

Student: Can we watch a movie today?

Me: No. We have a lesson today
and a lesson tomorrow.
You’re Year 11.

Student: A movie takes two lessons.

Me: We have work to do today and
what we do tomorrow
depends on your focus today.

Student: That’s not looking too good
then, is it?

This class were so much fun to teach and brought me so much laughter. Quick-witted doesn't even cover it!

]]> 2020-04-29 13:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/539152175 To the class of 2020, louiseberryman https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/539191910 I thought I'd share some memories of our time in the Secondary Department so hopefully you'll see them elsewhere on here and they'll jog a few memories!

When I arrived in Bermuda, you guys had just entered Year 8 and I had you both in my advisory and as a teaching class. Your humour was infectious and regularly I would be struggling to keep a straight face!

Throughout your time in the Secondary Department, you have entertained us all and I'm sure you know we, like you, are gutted not to be celebrating the end of your high school careers with you in person, and no doubt you had some pretty spectacular pranks lined up too!

I wish you all the best for your future endeavours, whatever they may be! Take care but be sure to have fun!

Re-reading them I feel that they stand true and will serve you well in the next stage of this adventure we call life. I hope you take the time to read it and reflect on it.

1) After a year of trying, finally sneaking up on Ryan Topple, scaring the c**p out of him and then watching the look of pure rage/surprise on his face (whilst Isabella and Noa laugh in the background).
2) Eleanor Dunleavy's utter hatred of Samuel Beckett's Happy Days.
3) Zachary Bucher slowly zoning out and falling asleep in my lessons, his little head lolling back and forth like a nodding dog.
4) Shane 'Gun Show' Krueger embracing my incessant attempts to make him feel uncomfortable and never rising to the bait.
5) Nuno's beard and the moment in class when he talked about why he identified with 'The Namesake'.

But who knew how special/different your Graduation would really be?!!
I taught a lot of you in Year 3, I think we called it "S3" back then. I had my 3O class as well as my Maths Class.
I remember you were a boisterous bunch! That was the year that we started Year 3 assemblies in the Activity room to reinforce codes of good behavior! You were obviously listening, look at what a super year of Graduates you turned out to be!
I wish you all the best as you leave Saltus and press onward with your life journeys. I am looking forward to hearing wonderful tales about your future accomplishments and endeavours!

Even in the tedium of lockdown, in the parallel universe that is remote learning, and with the anxiety surrounding exams, prom and graduation (although maybe not in that order for some of you!) you have "made memories," and it will be those memories that will revisit you, creeping into your conscious mind when you hear a song that reminds you of this time, and they will make you smile.

To my AP class- I wish you luck in your exams, but, most importantly, I hope that you enjoy the next stage even more than you have enjoyed this one. Spread your wings, fly! Life as you have known it is going to change forever and these next few years are potentially the most "free," you will ever be in your adult life: they are also transformative ones. Embrace all that will be new and cherish the memories and people from your Bermuda life, bringing them with you.

Froudie: I could not be more proud of you, of what you have achieved and of how far you have come. I will never forget your renditions of 'Kokomo', just because it mentioned Bermuda, your early obsession with sharks, and references to "Maya's ruins!", or "Guac-offs with Chich."

Jared: You were always a lively member of our group- is your mom keeping her promise, to travel to uni with you? Your DT-super-skills have certainly been on display recently.

"Potter," and Magnus: Black Books, Environmental issues and 'outside the box,' thinking. Loved every minute.

Mr. Hassel- by name but NOT by nature- you have been a miss since you left.

Jaden E- another of Mrs. Foote's Dream team, always a smile and a story.

Take care, one and all, and best of luck.

I’ve taught the majority of the girls in every year and will miss you all immensely! From throwing balls at Lindsey when she annoyed me to dragging you out of the common room in the latter years, you’ve been a great year to teach. I’m so sorry you haven’t had the send off you deserve but I know you will all be fantastically successful in what you do next! Good luck and I hope to see you all when you come back to visit!]]> 2020-04-30 20:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/542981051 What a fantastic class brucesinclair https://padlet.com/nicolechichon/dmd16pt3hlhncqxj/wish/542982131 It really was an honor and a pleasure working with you! From your start as little year 7's in either my middle school math or science classes through to the Biology, D of E and Volleyball adventures we shared.
I will never forget the "clons" and all the "clowning aroand" .
The triumphs in volleyball (last year) and of course the very soggy D of E practice walk that started and ended in the rain.
You have always been a resilient group that has persevered and overcome all the obstacles that were put in your way.
You have been a joy to teach and have made us so very proud!

"If you can't say something nice
Shh, shh, say nothing
Take a bit of good advice
Shh, shh, say nothing."

Wishing you all the best!

Watching you all grow up to be wonderful human beings has been a pleasure! A few shout outs before I impart some wisdom - I hope! To my SGY2 Art class: Thank you for laughing at my lame jokes - I'm pretty sure you were laughing at me. To Charlie, congrats on Parsons, you will be awesome. You have become a great designer and it has been a pleasure to teach you these past four years.
Christian, you have made me laugh during our lessons with your stories of your escapades with your horses! It has been a pleasure to get to know you as a young adult - and not the mischievous kid I remember from Yr 9!
Julianne, you have been a delight to have in lessons and such a big help to me with the yearbook, thank you for all your hard work - and for being my right hand woman! Enjoy Mount Allison, they are lucky to have you!
Last, but not least, to Isabella. Whilst you have had to put up with many embarrassing moments of having your mother as your teacher for five LONG years, you have behaved impeccably! Thank you for not reciprocating and embarrassing me! I am proud of you as your mother but also especially as your art teacher! (ok, I did it again! whoops!)
Special shout outs to my Photo students Jared , Owen and Parris. It has been entertaining just guessing what snacks any of you bring to class, whether Parris will stay awake or if Owen will fix his hair! Best of luck boys, you will be missed!
Now for the wisdom. One for my Art students and one for all of you. Congratulations SGY2, you will be missed!xo

Prank day is somewhat of a tradition and I am sure you had something up your sleeves!

I joined Saltus in the same year as Ms. Berryman and really feel that over the years I have got to know you all well - the good, the bad and the ugly! There are lots of things that I will miss:

- Illidio and Parris' constant gaming
- Dimitri asleep in the common room
- Lily asleep in the common room
- Victor asleep in the common room
-pretty much everyone asleep in the common room!
- burnt macaroni and cheese - no idea how it didn't set off the fire alarm
- your academic achievements
-your athletic prowess with many of you going on the represent your country
- your sense of humour
- your love of Saltus and the way in which you played a role in revolutionizing of the school leadership programme
- your grace when faced with the untimely ending of your time at Saltus....the list goes on.

I would also like the thank Ms. McArthur for all her work and support. She really has been an amazing Year Coordinator since year 7. She has been supportive and tough on you in equal measure. There is no one person that is more of an advocate for all of you. She has navigated you through your teenage years and she has been your biggest supporter through thick and thin. I think the greatest testament to this is that your graduate year has passed without incident and that all of you have all done yourselves proud. She will be missed!

Please stay positive, remember that you are the class of 2020 and that you helped the school and fellow students navigate through the current crisis. We will get through this together and celebrate on the other side - that's a promise!

Not the send off you would've wanted, but you are a resilient bunch who I know will take this in your stride and continue to make us proud. I actually miss teaching my class. Yes, even you Palmer.
I still can't believe my first class I taught when I arrived at Saltus was your lot in year 7. Ryan had actually been teaching the class before I arrived, and had been doing a stellar job, by all accounts! I knew within minutes, that I would love teaching your class and working at Saltus.
To this day, my GCSE class from your year was one of the most enjoyable and entertaining classes I've ever had the pleasure of teaching.
Thank you and I wish you success in your next chapter. Please do stay in touch.
My one piece of advise would be - do something you enjoy, something that makes you happy. If it also pays well, it's a bonus :)
* Also if you decide to get a tattoo (not an endorsement), research the artist even more than the design!

Well.... Sometimes Noa wasn't in a meeting or at the Orthodentist. Occasionally Conor would look up from his dealings on the international money markets and come 'back into the room' with me and Jackson, Keiran and Adrian - solving the Global macro problems or snorting at the social policy ideas of JMK. We might even be joined by the 'social medialites' Natalie and Sam on a good day (or a morning perhaps). I arrived as a young, keen and eager economist and I survived but look at me now!! "Happy Grad" dudes and dudettes.

My SGY English class have been an absolute pleasure - I have laughed a lot with you over the past two years and really enjoyed the conversations we've had about everything from Owen's hair ...to arranged marriages... to...well...collaborative Google docs ;)

My highlights in no particular order include:
Reading 'To Kill a Mockingbird' with you (and you quite liking it!)
Tyler nailing the Google doc joke.
Listening to your Desert Island Discs.
Watching you all prepare for our debate as a group.
How much Jak loved reading 'We Were Liars'.
Dimitri's continuous attempts to join the class.
Jared's pothole speech and witnessing him doing all his work on time during Shelter-in-Place.

As you leave Saltus and begin your next chapter, remember to embrace every opportunity, trust your intuition - and wash your hands!

All my very best,

I know that I say it every year, but this year has gone by quickly. It has been so much fun working with you all through the whole university/college application journey. You guys have worked hard to achieve your goals and I couldn’t be prouder. I have also had the pleasure of teaching many of you biology and marine science, and your classes have been some of my favorites to teach. I will miss each and every one of you. I know the end of your senior year hasn’t been what you imagined it would be, but your resilience in this time of uncertainty will help each of you succeed in whatever you decide to do in the future. I wish you all the best and hope to see everyone again soon.

It has been a delight to have had the pleasure of your company for your last years at Saltus. I enjoyed our banter, your eagerness to engage in discussion and your diverse conversation.

When you’re gone, there will be few left who still call me Miss Strass once in a while.

Whether my lovely and polite year 10 class, the rowdy and funny year 11s I took over (who seemed to have a penchant for breaking glassware), or my caring and clever AP class, you have always been a group I look forward to when I look at my timetable for the day. Thank you! I’ll miss you.

Good luck next year and make sure to come back and visit!

Treasure your memories and all the very best to you all in the future.
I want to give a special shout out to our student-athletes; thanks for all you did while at Saltus. I know we poked and prodded, and sometimes bribed some of you, but in the end you came through to help your team and your school.
I also appreciate our reliable "cheering squads" and supporters - you know who you are.
I could write something about each of you individually, but there is no room. So... a big shout out to all of and wishing you all the very best in the next chapter of your lives.
Make sensible decisions and stay safe.
Will miss all of you.

I know that all of you will manifest your destiny in whatever space you want in your future and I can’t wait to see and hear about it when they come in to action. I will dearly above all miss my sociology classes. Over the past two years I have seen such growth and maturity in all of you and some of the discussions that we had bring a smile to my face.
