Emily, you have truly been a cherished addition to our dance family. An intelligent and dedicated dancer, you have grown tremendously over the years, not only in your dance technique but also as a person and leader.

Three words perfectly capture who you are: leadership, determination, and commitment. You have always pushed yourself to work hard, embraced challenges with confidence, and gave everything you had in every class and performance. No matter the situation, you have always been there to support and encourage your fellow dancers, bringing positivity, kindness, and uplifting energy wherever you go.

We are truly amazed by your progress and honored to have been part of your dance journey. Your passion, perseverance, and character will undoubtedly lead to success in whatever path you choose. We will miss you dearly, but we cannot wait to see all the incredible things your future holds!

𝙀𝙈𝙄𝙇𝙔 𝙈𝙊𝙊𝙉𝘼𝙔 is graduating from Pennsbury High School as a Top 20 Scholar and National Merit Finalist, and will be attending Vanderbilt University in the fall to study engineering. Throughout high school, Emily has valued leadership and community service, serving as the President of the Lower Makefield Township Youth Committee, President of Pennsbury’s National Honor Society chapter, and a mentor for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Emily started dancing at three-years-old and has been competing with DAY since she was ten. Emily is so grateful for her years spent at DAY, and will miss the long nights at the studio, Nutcracker Sundays, and competition weekends filled with laughs and memories. She would like to thank all of the teachers and staff members at DAY, specifically Miss Melissa, Miss Andrea, Miss Sakie, Miss Jen, Miss Marina, Miss Izzy, Miss Maddie, Miss Lauren, Miss Jeannie, and Miss Cathy, for shaping her into the dancer and person she is and for always believing in her. She also wishes to thank her family for supporting her through every recital, competition, and Nutcracker performance. Emily extends a heartfelt thank you to her teammates for being her best friends and biggest fans. She is so grateful to have shared the stage alongside you all, and is extremely excited to keep cheering you on in the future.
