Wakefield Country Day School congratulated 10 students, the graduating class of 2014, during the annual Lower School Award and Promotion Ceremony on May 29. The invocation was delivered by the Rev. Paul L. Dudzinksi of St. Peter's Catholic Church of Washington, Va. Kathleen Grove, Head of School, warmly welcomed parents, friends and family to celebrate in the accomplishments of the lower school during the 2008-2009 school year. Seventh-grade student Sam Nolan then took the podium and thanked the teachers on behalf of his entire class. Rachel Paulisch concurred. Finally, Grace Alexander looked to the future.
A beautiful evening in the Senior Garden set the stage for the 30th Commencement ceremony at Wakefield Country Day School on May 31. Head of School Kathleen Grove individually introduced each of the 17 seniors of the 2009 graduating class. "Wakefield Country Day School seniors are a remarkable group. They've grown up together and worked hard to reach this point," said Grove. Indeed, two members of the graduating class, Kristina Stone and Neil McClung, have been at Wakefield since kindergarten. Senior Saheel Mehta, who has been attending Wakefield since the third grade, gave the Salutatory Address to a full audience. Jim Gannon, retired journalist and Rappahannock County resident, was the guest speaker of the evening. After the presentation of diplomas, Audrey Speer gave the Valedictory Address.
