a light

WOODSTOCK --- Woodstock Academy and education turned blindness into a bright light.
Bruce Sakindi, president of the Class of 2016 likened the time before entering Woodstock Academy as a time of blindness. But lessons were learned and light dawned in school. He told his classmates that people change people. "We need to be the voice for people without a voice," he said.
"We begin a time of self-definition. This chapter is ending but our story is just beginning," he added. 
Michael Edward  Audet saw a similar benefit to education. He was the winner of the Kathryn Robertson Essay Award and read his winning entry, "Expanding the Conversation: The Worth and Value of an Education."
Valedictorian Kara Marie Heilemann and salutatorian Peixin Yu each received State of Connecticut General Assembly official citations.
The winners of the Yale Honor Cups were John Archambault and Heilemann.
The winners of the Donald and Hope Williams Scholarships for Outstanding Academy Achievement were Archambault, Yu, Heilemann and Shunhao Wu.
