WINTER
2010
Class of 2010
Throughout your years at IC, you have
warmed our lives and that warmth is
something you should take with you,”
Ghada Maalouf, Preschool Director
“My advice to you, our graduates, is to
listen to your inner voice and do some-
thing well, something that matters and
something that will help others!” John
Johnson, IC President
“IC provided you with a firm education
and a strong spirit to stand up to any
adversities that you may face in life,” Leila
El-Solh Hemadeh, guest speaker, former
Lebanese Minister and head of the Al-
waleed Bin Talal Foundation
This is my final farewell, and as much as
I wish that nothing in life was ever final
even the best things in life must be said
goodbye to. So goodbye to our teachers
who have given more patience, consider-
ation and affection across the years that
could ever be imagined, and there are not
enough words to describe how grateful we
are to every effort they have done in our
favor. Goodbye to the campus that has
been the home of so many memories, so
many experiences, and so much laughter
that has relentlessly filled the hallways,
maintaining the smiles on our faces.
Goodbye to being children in the eyes of
our parents, who after 15 years of yelling
at us for not doing our homework but
always being proud no matter what our
report cares said, will now go back home
with a lot less to worry about. Goodbye
to the school spirit that has always been
the link between us all, whose essences
will remain no matter where life takes us,
reminding us that we all once stood at the
same starting line together.
