You may think that handwritten notes are a lost art. Now imagine writing 180 of them. That's what hapened to this high school class president in Lakeville, Massachusetts. Mason Macuch gave a speech during their graduation ceremony and surprised all 180 of his fellow classmates with a personal note taped under their seats.
While giving his graduation speech, Mason Macuch, the outgoing president of Apponequet Regional High School in Lakeville, Massachusetts, surprised all 180 of his fellow classmates with a personal note for each and every one of them. Macuch said it took about 10 hours to write them.
“Anything that I could think of about the person I wanted to say about them before we graduated and went on our separate ways.” He arrived an hour before the ceremony and got help from an assistant principal and a teacher taping the cards under the chair after clearing it with the school.
“I wish I could’ve acknowledged you all, but there was simply not enough time,” Mason Macuch of Lakeville said in his June 7 speech. “Instead, I want you to reach under your chairs, where you will find a personal note that I’ve written to each of you as a way to say one final goodbye and thank you for making these years that will soon pass the ‘good ole days.’”
Macuch said a lot of graduates thanked him in person afterward. Many parents sent him nice comments on social media.
