St. Bernard School graduates 54
Ceremony location: Cathedral of St. Patrick, Norwich. Senior Class Orator Sienna Sferrazza: “Making a difference at Saint Bernard School is encouraged, not only within our school, but in the community as well. This is not an opinion but a mere fact. Here are some statistics to back this up. If you live to be 70, you meet an average of 80,000 people in your lifetime. Now that's a lot of people. But if everyone of us changed the lives of just 10 people, and each one of those people changed the lives of another 10 people and another 10 after that, then in 5 generations, the class of 2024 will have changed the lives of 800 million people. If you think it's hard to change the lives of 10 people, you're wrong. I saw it happen each and everyday at Saint Bernard School. Life changing moments were created in that building that forged who we are now, and who we will become. Saint Bernard School helped me find who I want to be, by instilling core values needed to thrive in our small community and the larger society.”
