Parents, teachers, and loved ones gathered at the Eden School on June 20 to celebrate the nine exceptional graduates of the Class of 2024.
Ben H., Ben R., Ben S., Ethan, Johnny, Kevin, Robbie, Zach, and Zachary marked the end of their school years as they walked across the stage to receive their diplomas.
“To get to the place where each of our nine graduates are today, they had to go through their own struggles and overcome obstacles in their way,” said Chief Program Officer Dr. Rachel Tait. “Going through this journey and coming out on the other side has helped take our students from the little boys they were when they started and turn them into the young adults we see before us today.”
The graduates brought out the best of everyone at the Eden School, and to say that each senior will be missed is an understatement.
Ben H. enjoys every birthday celebration at the school. He is the school’s resident artist, filling classrooms with his colorful masterpieces. When he’s not in the classroom, he enjoys working at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.
School staff will miss seeing Ben R. rock out to Christmas music — no matter the time of year. He’s never shy to kick back and relax with a good video, except when working at the Plainsboro Municipal Building.
No one gives better high-fives than Ben S. He is one of the school’s hardest workers, whether he was in the classroom or his job at Confectionally Yours. Ben S. is always the first person to greet someone when they enter a room, and teachers will miss his welcoming personality.
Ethan has a million-dollar smile that can light up every room. He likes his job at the Plainsboro Preserve. He has the silliest personality.
Johnny joined Eden most recently out of all the graduates, but he has amazed teachers with how much he’s grown during that short period. Whether he’s working at the Windsor Athletic Club or spending time with some of his favorite ladies at the school, he can be found with a smile on his face.
Everyone at the Eden School is a fan of Kevin. He has a personality that draws everyone in, from his teachers to his coworkers at the Plainsboro Municipal Building.
Robbie is the school’s Disney movie guru. He loves his guy time and working at the Plainsboro Recreation Center. Robbie is also the school’s resident foodie, known for his exquisite taste.
Zach is the school’s resident stage manager. He is always there to lend a helping hand at school events. He loves working at Salt Creek Grille and meeting with his favorite admin staff.
Zachary is the school’s class clown, always looking to pull a fast one with the staff. He gives the most subtle waves to everyone he sees at the school or work at the Plainsboro Preserve, and is the school’s best dancer.
While we will miss seeing our seniors at the school, we are excited to see what they accomplish as they enter this exciting new chapter. Congratulations, graduates! You have made all of us so proud.
