Mardi apres la ceremonie!

Well, fast forward to today, the day after graduation...

Monsieur Wanie was so pleased to see all his students dressed impeccably and behaving like the young adults they have become. It's been a long year, full of ups and downs, lots of work and a few laughs... but through it all, Monsieur Wanie has only become more and more proud of the accomplishments of his students in 86 and 87.

Kids, and I'll say this from the first person perspective: It's been an honour teaching you (and at times learning from you too!). I wish you the all the best in your future endeavours, from high school onwards. Stay safe, have fun, never stop learning or being thankful for all the wonderful things most of us take for granted. You truly have it all at your fingertips, don't squander the opportunities that present themselves to you and "follow the white rabbit"!

Congratulations on a great year: 86 and 87, and thank you.

Wanie, out.

Marcus: I just wanted to express my most sincere condolences to you and your family. Your mom was an energetic and generous person that always wanted the best for those around her. Should you need someone to talk to, you know you can count on me and any one of the Winona staff.
