“Good things are contagious,” says Berndt, as she gives examples of her inspirations when she is greeted by Aly Goodner or hears Liz Jones raise up students. She encourages students to take an action to be the person they want to become, and for the community they aspire to be in

New @UpperSchoolPC Director Kimberley Berndt welcomes students to the new year by reflecting on students who have gone on and are navigating their new communities, and the new PC students and their work to lean into this community. #welcome #pccommunity

In the first @UpperSchoolPC assembly, Emerson and Cliff representing student council encourage more voices to participate in SC and good stewardship of the school across the year.

Super proud of Quakers Sr. 1B (and class President!) Cliff Harling for his incredible speech at yesterday's all-school Welcome Back ceremony. Cliff is a natural leader (and punisher of fastballs). #PCproud #leadership

Quakers Dozen closes out the opening assembly with “Sing for Myself”

What a day @PennCharter

First #commencement2022 speaker Henry Davis speaks about the difficulties - and fun! - that they occurred. He noted his class’ kindness, and his teachers’ support that supported him through twists & turns. #growth #livesthatmakeadifference #beingopen #opportunities

After waiting for the clock tower to finish chiming 11:00, Amani Rivers begins her speech. “Penn Charter changed and shaped my dreams for life…. Don’t limit yourself to what is safe. Turn your dreams into reality.” #commencement2022

Class Clerk Jerry Rullo presents the senior class gift. The funds support faculty professional development. “Faculty are the school’s best asset.” Rullo speaks of being transformed by his teachers. The gift totaled $187,961 with 93% participating. #thankyou #bestspeechonsoldering

Lauren Martz remembers 13 years at PC. The super lifers, the bubble class, the first purple cubbies. “It’s the individuals that make us incredible. Complete.” #grabthetissues #senseofcommunity 💙💛

“Listen less to your fears and more to your dreams.”

Getting organized! #pcclassof2022 #commencement2022
