Congratulations, Graduates.
Time to Do What Makes You Great.
Bedford class of 2026, you've earned this moment. Enjoy the day, breathe it all in, and give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Life is just beginning, and your future is bright.
This month's Editor's Note is worth a read, but if you skipped straight to the tributes, at least take these words from Charlie Day's Merrimack Commencement speech with you.
"I don't think you should just do what makes you happy. Do what makes you great. Do what's uncomfortable and scary and hard, but pays off in the long run. Be willing to fail. Let yourself fail. Fail in the way and place where you would be proud to fail. Fail and pick yourself up and fail again. Without that struggle, what is your success anyway?"
We think Bedford's graduates are ready for exactly that challenge. Turn the page and meet them. If a student’s plans after high school aren’t
listed, it’s simply because we hadn’t received
updated information by our deadline.
One more thing: We're offering a second round of graduate tributes in our August issue. Send a photo, your graduate's school name, and a 4–5 sentence tribute to greetbedford@gmail.com or brian@tarrconnects.com by June 28.

It has been incredible to watch you grow from that little spitfire (perhaps sometimes a bit too spitfirey! ) into the spark in every room, someone whose confidence, humor, and energy draw people in so naturally. What makes us most proud is not just who you are when things are easy, but your discipline, your work ethic, and the way you show up and give your best even when no one is watching. That strength, resilience, and focus will carry you farther than you can imagine. We can’t wait to watch your next chapter unfold and see all the ways you continue to shine—this is just the beginning, and we are so proud of you. Love, Mama, Dad, Nate, Wyatt, and Snuggles

From being the official class clown in kindergarten to still delivering a perfectly timed joke today, your wit has always been a part of who you are – and we think your teachers would agree! You’ve been our “noticer”, often the one who sees things just a little differently—and says them a little better. Not one to chase the spotlight, you’ve shown through basketball and beyond that you’re just as comfortable doing the hard, unnoticed work that makes a team successful. We can’t wait to watch you carve out your own path, and we couldn’t be prouder of you. Love, Mama, Dad, Sloane, Wyatt, and Snuggles
