Alumna Ainyae Holmes addresses students at Honor Roll Breakfast
Alumna Ainyae Holmes (Class of 2015) crowned the event with an inspirational keynote speech for our young scholars. An excellent student and rising track star, Holmes spoke on the importance of working hard and shared her own experiences of overcoming being discouraged by her peers. She urged our honor roll winners to push themselves. Currently Holmes is a sophomore at William Penn Charter School.
Following the freshly prepared breakfast and alumna speech, Heads of School David Kasievich and Dave McDonough presented each student with their certificates and encouraged them to continue their great work.
