![“We are all dreaming about finally finishing [high school],” says Malwina, a 12th grader.](https://internationalchangemaker.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Dark-Green-Modern-Graduation-Presentation-1200x674.jpg)
As graduation approaches, our school has come up with a creative way to honor seniors: a display of baby photos, located on Cena’s second floor. The wall invites students, staff, and visitors to guess who’s who and reflect on the early memories that shaped each graduating student.
Uma shared that, “in the picture I’m probably 1 or 2 years old. I picked it because I was giving the middle finger to my mom—it was just too funny not to share!” Uma also reflected that “I will definitely miss my childhood, but I’m excited about the freedom to choose what I do next.”
Hannah, whose photo shows her beaming at age 3, said, “I adore how I smile in this photo.” Though she doesn’t recall many childhood memories, she finds joy in being part of this playful tradition.
Hannah also added, “I think Harry hasn’t changed much over the years!”
When asked why the school created the wall, Ms. Kaitlyn said, “It’s a fun and meaningful way to honor seniors. It gives everyone a chance to remember where we started and how far we’ve come.”
The project also boosts school spirit. “It’s been so fun seeing people laugh, guess who’s who, and say ‘Oh my gosh, that was YOU?’” one senior said. “It brings us together before we go our separate ways.”
The Senior Baby Picture Wall is just one of several special senior celebrations happening this season. From a trip to Dave and Buster’s to love letters written to the campus community, the Class of 2025 is leaving behind more than memories. As one senior put it, “we started as babies—and now we’re ready to take on the world.”
