CEO Dr. Brett Jacobsen shared his perspective on storytelling, “Stories have beginnings and endings. Every school year has this natural start, the first day of school, and this natural punctuation mark called graduation that reflects the end of the journey. Endings give way to beginnings just as much as beginnings give way to endings.”
“May love connect us.
May joy ignite us.
May peace comfort us.
May patience direct us.
May kindness and goodness show through us.
May faithfulness convict us.
May gentleness guide us.
May self-control seal our commitment to design a better world through grace for ourselves and grace for others.”
Students were invited to join in by repeating the most important words – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness. All left Convocation feeling inspired to grow, design, multiply, foster, and explore our individual stories as we create a collective Mount Vernon story together for the year ahead.
