SACS Class of 2010 is special

To the editor:
    The family of Jarrica Rose Emery thinks the community needs to know just how special the Southern Aroostook Community School Class of 2010 is.
    We lost Jarrica in a tragic car accident in December but recently her aunts and uncles were here for what would have been her graduation. They hadn’t seen her headstone so as a family we all went the afternoon of graduation to see it. When we arrived we were amazed to see so many of her classmates and her fiancé all just sitting around spending time with her. It was very touching to see this from young adults. Some spent a good part of the afternoon there.
    These kids took the time on their graduation day to spend time there just hanging out with Jarrica, as if they were in one of their own back yards. She has a very dear friend who was there the evening before and spent time with her also. They all had left roses, bouquets of flowers, teddy bears, bracelets, graduation signs, and even a graduation cap tassel.
    After graduation many of the kids came back in the gym for a short time to see Jarrica’s mother before they went off to their Project Graduation party.
    We feel that we all need to be proud of these young adults and SACS. Since December Jarrica never once has been forgotten or left out of anything. Thank you SACS Class of 2010.
