Angels Graduate

(Tumon Bay, Guam) Amid the lights, red carpet, and fresh roses, some thirteen angels were seen gracing the Hilton’s Micronesian Room in their tasseled caps and gowns. Guam Adventist Academy held its 2010 graduation program for both 8th and 12th graders on Sunday, May 30th. The room accommodated friends and families to standing room capacity. This is the first year the school has combined the 8th and 12th grade commencement exercises, and while coordinators were quite pleased with the student cooperation and enthusiasm, they say they may not see a combined ceremony next year. “Both classes are larger, and next year’s seniors have been doing some heavy planning for their 2011 graduation for some time now.”
The three senior graduates included Robyn Kaái of Dededo, Agustin “AJ”Asensio of Tamuning, and Cassandra “Cassi” Siguenza of Yona. Kaái was announced class valedictorian with a GPA of 4.0 and Asensio came in second as the salutatorian. Both are planning on attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Kaái is also a merit scholar who was accepted to schools in the mainland, but has a heart for Hawaii because she has familial roots there.
Eighth graders promoted include: Annie Bae, Cienna Ferrara, Hawortson Heinrich, Min Park, Riley Jones Taijeron, Kaevin Remoket, Kenedy Taitague, LaurenLee Meadows, Francisco Han, and Halter Paul. Pastor Luis Mafnas presented the Senior Challenge and Pastor Louis Torres delivered the keynote speech on the importance of rubbing your “light” off on others. Stay bright! Congratulations and be safe this summer! See you when classes resume on Thursday, August 12.
