AP French Seniors
Sophia Gandhi: Natalie, Anjali, Sonali, Jocelyn and Taylor - I know you all have thoroughly enjoyed french class this year and it is definitely going to be your #1 class you miss when you all graduate. Personally, I know I've enjoyed our collective experience in french this year and past years, and there's nothing I look forward to more than loitering outside dr. maccornack's classroom for at least five minutes before each class. I am going to miss you all, and I wish you the best after graduation and in college! n'oubliez pas votre francais!

Hope you guys have a good time in college and can grab your hands on one of our future issues sometime :) !
Kayla Peng: Hi Maya and Celia! It was so amazing working with you two in Ballast.

Thank you for being such amazing teammates and role models for this year's Ethics Bowl team. I learned so much from you all this year, from discussing cases, revising drafts, to competing together.

Multivariable Calculus Seniors
Colette Gentile:
Dear Multi Seniors,
This year has, by far, been my favorite math class yet, and I owe it all to you. Random chats, acting out Laplace during charades, laughing up a storm, struggling through multiple integrals in Unit 3, you name it - I was always so excited to go to class and spend it with you all. You are all so brilliant and inspiring, and supportive, and helpful, and you made what normally should be an incredibly intimidating course one that felt possible. Class is going to be RIDICULOUSLY empty without all of you in a couple weeks, but I am SO excited for all of you because you are going to do amazing things in the future. Best of luck in college and beyond!! :) (Check for picture in the Photo Gallery)
GSA Presidents
Sophia Gandhi: Rachel and Kai - Thank you so much for not only being amazing GSA co-presidents this year, but also kind and supportive upperclassmen for me to look up to. The two of you never fail to make me laugh, and I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the fun we've had in GSA throughout my high school career so far. Project Prism is not going to be the same without the both of you there, but I know you are both going on to do amazing things. Best of luck at Tufts and Oberlin, and know that you are always welcome in KPS GSA 💗

JV Tennis Captains/Seniors
Sophia Gandhi: Annabelle, Sawyer, Sahana, Gabby and Diana - Thank you all for being such great leaders and role models for tennis! The team is going to feel so different without all of you next year, and I'm going to miss all of you so much. Best of luck after graduation and in college, you are all going to be amazing!

Thank you for your endless dedication to the team, incredible leadership, and all those Dunkin runs. I’m going to miss both of you so much!
Mock Trial Seniors
Chelsea Cui: I am so happy that I got to be on mock trial with all of you! From being crammed on tiny buses that definitely couldn't fit the whole team to finally beating Oratory, this team would be nothing without its amazing seniors. I hope college treats you all well!

Dear Carolina, Sawyer, and Miranda,
I am so glad that I was able to spend my first season doing Squash with you guys! Carolina, your kindness and care for everyone on the team is why you are an amazing captain and an even more amazing person. Sawyer, it was so fun seeing you after so long. Knowing the places you were taught (FBS and KPS), as well as knowing you, I know that wherever you go you will thrive with compassion. Miranda, you are gentle, kind, so funny, and powerful.
