Students Offer Words of Thanks at Gratitude Chapel
Blair Academy
The Gratitude Chapel marks the final Chapel of the school year, as well as a very special opportunity for students to publicly thank those who have made a difference for them during their Blair careers. The 2021 Gratitude Chapel took place on May 14 on Marcial Field, and the outdoor location allowed the entire School community to come together—appropriately distanced, of course—for this beloved event.
Seniors Jack Weber ’21 and Mikey Richardson ’21 shared personal reflections on gratitude before opening the floor to their classmates. The members of the class of 2021 eagerly thanked the teachers and friends who have been an important part of their Blair experiences. As the Gratitude Chapel concluded, community members began one of their final weekends on campus with an “attitude of gratitude,” thankful for their time together during this historic school year.
