Congratulations to the Kwajalein High School Class of 2021. Friends and family members celebrated with the senior high school students during their Commence- ment ceremony May 20 at Kwajalein High School. With assistance from personnel at Kwajalein’s contract run American Forces Network, families at a distance viewed a livestream of the ceremony from home. They were in for an entertaining night. The ceremony included scholarship awards by corporate representatives, 1 individuals and alumni and private or- ganizations. Students performed a spe- cial modern hula and left the stage and ventured into the audience to give their parents flower leis of thanks for years of support, love and patience. Togeth- er, attendees and graduates watched a slideshow of student photographs and enjoyed a duet, “Chosen Family,” by Rina Sawayama,” performed by graduates Kye Lorok and Minnie Snoddy. Next, the graduates accepted their di- plomas from USAG-KA Commander Col. Jeremy Bartel and USAG-KA Command Sgt. Maj. Ismael Ortega before joining their families in the high school court- COURTESY OF BRIAN BUSSEY 2 3 yard.

SINGING A DIFFERENT TUNE: GEORGE SEITZ ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MUSIC CONCERT
The end of the school year is full of cul-
minating moments, but the George
Seitz Elementary School spring music
concert was anything but usual.
Parents, teachers and friends joined
more than 75 students for the annu-
al showcase at the Kwajalein High
School Davye Davis Multi-Purpose
Room May 15. Under the direction of
GSES music teacher Ashley Wright,
young musicians enrolled in grades
Pre-K through four performed songs
and demonstrated newfound musical
skills honed through hours of practice
and classroom learning activities. 2
For the first time in remembered
history, elementary school students
performed in a ukulele ensemble. As
they strummed the beachside stan-
dard “Island Style,” they were accom-
panied by Pre-K students performing
a hula.
Next, as a nod to UNESCO Jazz Day,
students performed duets and solos
on recorder, followed by a special jazz
tune featuring multiple soloists on the
wind instrument.
Wright joined a student choir to
sing The Beach Boys’ “In My Room,” in
a lyrical homage to months and weeks
of quarantine experienced around the
world in 2020. 3
For their last song of the evening,
Wright and her students presented
the audience with an original project
in development for the entire school
year. Together, they premiered a new
GSES song.
Featuring lyrics inspired by student
writings Wright collected during the
year, the song, “We’re George Seitz,”
describes the qualities current stu-
dents feel their peers should em-
body—among them, good citizenship,
friendship and kindness.
Be sure to attend a future music con-
cert or school event to hear the orig-
inal song performed by the island’s
students.
