    Dear Andover,
    Thank you to the amazing staff and faculty at the Addison Museum. They've maintained the vision and embodiment of this incredibly beautiful... and special space.

    Dear Andover,
    Andover is like a second home for me, a place that introduced me to my greatest friends. It encouraged me to be braver, kinder, greater, stronger, and more competitive. I can not imagine my life without the incredible people and wonderful experiences Andover has provided me with and I am beyond ecstatic to see what becomes of my Andover journey. I can not thank you enough, Mr. Dignard, for introducing me to Andover. Andover, I miss you!

    Dear Andover,
    The meal/staff member I miss most at Commons is… Spicy Noodle Chicken Stir-Fry. The smooth texture of the rice noodles combined with the intense flavors of the spicy chicken created a delectable dish that I can never forget. Huge shoutout to Nestor and Al. Y'all are the realest MVP's.

    Dear Andover,
    Having such great people around to support you. This may sound strange, but I miss suffering together with friends (in person). There's something to be said about working through (as suffering is a tad too intense a word) tough times with others who know what you're going through. I miss just having that sense of background community. Even people who aren't your best friends can really contribute to that sense of camaraderie. I suppose this all boils down to I miss the people at Andover. I do <3

    Dear Andover,
    The meal I miss most at Commons has got to be the teriyaki chicken.

    Dear Andover,
    Community is building and sustaining positive and healthy relationships with others in order to create solutions to problems and strive to improve the lives of others in the community. My sister and I are excited to bring our non-profit organization, which aims to help the hungry, to the the Andover community. I would hope to find joy in the PA community. To build the community remotely, I think making positive connections is key. I am excited to meet my new teachers and classmates!

    Dear Andover,
    One small thing about Andover that I used to not pay too much attention to but now that I miss the most is the ability to encounter not only different types of people, but different type of struggles, adventures, and much more. I miss the variety that Andover provides.

    Dear Andover,
    I miss Nestor and his stir fry. At lunch, my friend and I would go together and Nestor was always really nice and we'd all talk and check up on each other.

    I miss eating cheesecake tarts at Commons with my friends. We would always try to keep from taking more!

    Dear Andover,
    My favorite study spot on campus is the Addison because it's quiet and you forget everyone exists when you're all alone.

    Dear Andover,
    One small thing about Andover that I used to not pay too much attention to but now that I miss the most is the den. I haven't eaten fruit snacks in months. I really miss talking to the chef while he makes chicken tenders for us.

    Dear Andover,
    A teacher who has made remote learning fun is… Ms. Zhao! In person and remote classes felt very comfortable and fun during this class! I really appreciated being able to go there every other day.

    Dear Andover,
    Shoutout to my favorite OWHL instructor Ms. Pei. She's always been there for me to talk about my day when I was on campus and made me feel better after a long day in school. I miss you!!!! You're the GOAT.
