She noted that it would be impossible to recognize every special achievement of the RE student body: "As a group, you've left your mark on the school and individually you have achieved great things – not all of which can possibly be celebrated today ... Paul Ransom and Marie Swenson would be proud, and I know I am."

The special awards included recognition for excellence in particular academic or artistic pursuits, service, leadership, spirit and overall accomplishment. Students who received individual awards were summoned to the stage by Head of the Upper School Ken Mills or the chair of the relevant department. The school also recognized the newest members of the Cum Laude Society.
