Presenting School of the Woods First Graduating Class
		May 17th, 2003, marked a milestone in School of the Woods' history. On that date we had our first senior graduation. The graduates pictured truly are life-long learners. For the graduation ceremonies each student was asked to choose a quote to represent their personal ideology.

		Success depends on self-confidence, and awareness of one's own talents, and of the many possibilities of their adaptation. - Maria Montessori
Michelle - Honored for Perseverance

The Fox: One only understands the things that one tames. Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends anymore. If you want a friend, tame me. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
		Katie - Honored for Leadership

		I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life! To put to rout all that was not life... And not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. - H.D. Thoreau
Bhakti - Honored for Determination

You cannot change the wind, but you can adjust your sails. - Helen Keller
		Shana - Honored for Commitment

		In life, you can either watch or participate but you are the only one who can choose or change.
Danielle - Honored for Compassion

Good judgement comes from experience, most experience comes from bad judgement.
