Thank you for always being there to make me laugh, make me feel better, drive me around, and for just being my friend. You deserve the whole world.

Jilly Sher

Ruby Pollack- Wow! You are graduating! Jilly this year you have been such an inspiration to me ( and Audrey). Your work ethic, and ability to come up with new ideas has really taught the values of a good leader. Even though this was my first year at KPS, I feel like we have become pretty good friends. I will cherish our memories at Girl’s Outdoors and Environmental Club. But most importantly, I want to say thank you for allowing Audrey and I to help plan GOs meeting. I had so much fun helping you plan these meetings as well as the winter outing. Audrey and I have some pretty big shoes to fill, but allowing us to collaborate with you has really helped us prepare for next year. Jilly, I’m going to really miss you next year. But I know that you great things at Bowdoin and I can not wait to visit you!!
 

Ms. Chaffee-Cohen- I am thrilled at the foothold that Girls Outdoors has taken in the KPS community this year. You have created a strong club with a foundation that will carry on for years to come. Thank you, Jilly, for sharing your passions with us! -Ms. Chaffee-Cohen

You have helped me so much over these past four years: from lending me your pre-calculus notebook (which was gorgeous by the way) to helping me with my history essay at 8 on Sunday morning, you have always been there for me! You are such an amazing, humble, and kind individual and I think everyone can agree with me in saying that you have one of the most sincere and illuminating smiles! I am really going to miss you next year, but I know you are going to do big things at Bowdoin! Best of luck in the next chapter of your life and please come back and visit! Love, Adithi

 

Maddie Estey- Jilly, I'm going to miss you so much! You are so sweet and smart and I love doing track with you :) Sorry I was only a "fake" thrower this year but I promise that I really enjoy spending time with you and the ~iconic~ group of excercise-hating people (okay maybe that is a bit extreme but you know what I mean). I am glad you are always willing to be my running buddy when everyone else thinks we are crazy. Good luck at college!! Keep Ruun-ningg (woah that is fun to say but weird to type). Love you!

 

Tyler Newman- JILLY!! Trebs won't be the same without your ~postive~ vibez. Thanks for all the rides to performances, I'll miss jamming to the Jonas Brothers with you. XOXO

 

Julie Soldat- oh jilly jilly bo billy I'm going to miss our conversations about Disney and telling you something "juicy" during our various sports practices.

Audrey Alix- Jilly!!! You are the greatest person ever. I will miss you so much as the pres of environmental club, girls outdoor, and a great friend!

Also, I couldn't thank you enough to allowing Ruby and I to help you with Girls outdoor club, it was so fun and exciting! Please come visit, feel free to crash any outings or camping trips. Thanks for being there to make me smile, comforting me whenever I have breakdowns on train platforms (LMAO), coming on awesome early morning hikes, and being the funnest person to hang around.

Maggie Sher- It was so nice to get to know you better this year! You've been such an awesome friend to Jilly. I'm sorry I forgot to order you a bonji bowl that one time.

Sofia Tartaglia

Aya Mtume - hey tortuga. thanks for always being so nice and letting me come to your home and chill. i think we’re on the same brain waves. i’ll never stop putting two thumbs up whenever i see you. you have such a positive energy that i know will never go away. Emory won't know what hit them. ¡te quiero! 

 

Tara Balan - I’ve gotta say Sofia, we make a pretty awesome duo when it comes to trying to get Katherine riled up. Thanks for hearing out my goofy anecdotes about my “best friend”, and being someone I can always count on to talk to in the judiciary line :) Good luck at Emory!!

 

Mira Pantozzi - Sofia, I have had so much fun in physics class with you this year and I'm so glad we became friends. I literally always look forward to that class because of our table and we have shared so many fun memories over this year. I will miss you and the rest of tickle or be tickled SO much next year idk what I'll do. I hope you live life to the fullest like lemon mommy at Emory next year! (try not to get too many concussions ;P)

 

Stacey Espiritu - Sofia! Thank you for being you. You and I have been on a rollercoaster ride since the beginning yet somehow we have managed to make it through it all. You’ve always been there to lift me up and support me and all you’ve ever done is care for me. I’ve always known that I could count on you and hope that you know you can count on me too. We’ve had some weird times and some good laughs and I’m so thankful to have been able to have you be a part of my life. You know it all won’t be the same without you but I have no doubt in my mind that when you come back or when I pull up to visit that we’re gonna have a good time as always. Thank you for everything that you are. Love you forever!

 

Samara Grannum - Thanks for everything this year and being an amazing senior. I had so much fun hanging out with you and your friends and it definitely made me feel pretty cool to hang out with seniors.

Christiana Nwachuku - I'm eating Chopt so I feel obligated to write you a note letting you know that I'm EATING SALAD. Even though I literally never talked to you directly until track, I feel like talking to Pilar counts as indirectly talking to you since you=Pilar. Oh and last time I checked you were a freshmen that was rightfully apart of the freshmen squad during those rubber band workout things so I don't know why I'm writing you a note when you're obviously apart of the class of 2022. Thank you so so much for making track a good time and good luck at Williams! I don't know why you're doing field hockey when you are a literal triple jump god but have fun anyway!

 

Pilar Torres - you are cool :)) i will miss you, and you better miss me. please visit. also, don't get too stressed out, you will be fine. remember: confidence is key. much love, pilar

Grace Martin - thanks for all the fun times in chorale. i will miss you so much dog. good luck at U Penn.  -cat

 

Stacey Espiritu - Amber! BabY! You’ve straight up been my day one since forever. Whether you realized it or not, you were growing up with me. We were the best of friends in Middle School and look at us STILL thriving now. You are one of the most genuine people I know and I always have a good time when you’re around. Thanks for being my friend all this time. No matter how far you are, know that you’ll always have secured the spot as the first photo in my camera roll (seen below, circa 2015). Get ready for me to come visit at UPenn! Love you forever! :)) Click to view image

I'm kinda sad I can't just take a trip down to the Tech hub to give you stuff anymore but I'll always be your BTS meme person and visit you whenever I can!!!! I love you so much!
