Another year comes to a close, 
through lessons and growth, 
its moments shaping us — 
some gently, others with force. 

We’ve learned to rise 
when it felt impossible, 
to pause  
when stillness was needed, 
and to lean into the unknown 
with quiet strength. 

A fresh start calls,  
a canvas clear.  
Painted with hope, 
free of fear.  
Not perfect, 
but more aware.  
Not unscathed, 
but more whole.  

We pledge  
to be better, 
to do better,  
to show up true. 
For ourselves, 
for each other,  
and for you. 

So, here’s to the year 
we leave behind, 
may we carry its wisdom, 
let go of its weight. 
Let us gather our thoughts, 
our plans,  
our fire, 
to build something bold,  
to reach higher.

We welcome 2025 –  
A brighter journey, 
under new lights.
