While the 2013 Morrisville High School graduating class may be headed down different paths, they will always share the common bond as family.“We all come from different backgrounds and cultures, but we are all a family,” salutatorian Kevin Munoz said. “I feel privileged to call these people my fellow classmates.”Munoz, along with half a dozen other seniors, spoke about the tight-knit group’s “ambition” and willingness to succeed despite coming from a smaller district during the school’s 115th commencement ceremony Friday night.
“I can proudly say that every single one of us here knows each other. This would not be the case at a big school,” he said. “This is what makes Morrisville special.”
Seniors Megan Howell, Nicholas Castillo, Juliana Manning, Lauren Miller and valedictorian Matthew Rosenwasser echoed those beliefs while showering their educators with praise.
“We cannot forget all the people that helped and supported us to get to this point,” Rosenwasser said. “I would like to thank all the teachers and faculty who have provided us with the knowledge and skills to succeed.”
Manning, the class treasurer, spoke of the memories her senior class had growing up as “ ‘90s kids” and how they saw the world change in front of their eyes.
“Even if you forget everything that I have said I hope you remember this single point: We did it!”
This year’s crop of students had the distinction of being recognized nationally with a bronze medal from U.S. News and World Report in the spring.
“This class is responsible for a bronze medal which has been earned for its academic performance,” educational adviser Donald Harm said. “This is a tribute to our fine staff, administration, school board, students and parents working together as one to make this happen.”
However, Harm said what has made the class and the tiny district special was the warmth they shared with each other and pride they shared in their community.
“The best thing about Morrisville is that everyone knows each other,” he said. “As a family they fight, they argue, but at the end of the day they are here as one.”
Class President Howell agreed.
“Coming from a small school does not mean you can’t shine as bright as (other schools), or in some cases even brighter,” she said.
Superintendent William Ferrara had one lasting message for the graduating class.
“Keep the spirit of the bulldog in your soul and remember the memories of the time you spent in Morrisville in your hearts.”

Mom arrested at son's high school graduation in Morrisville

Since December 2011, police say Tyeshia Chatman has been on the run because she feared being arrested.
On Friday, she showed up at her son’s graduation at Morrisville High School, but police allowed her to watch graduation before moving in on what they called “a major drug dealer” at an apartment complex in the township’s Edgely section.
Bristol Township police Lt. Terry Hughes said he and his narcotics unit had been searching for Chatman, 34, now of Trenton, for 18 months.
“Our big break came Friday,’’ said Hughes. “We learned she might be at the graduation. I spotted her and one of my narcotics officers, Jarrod Eisenhauer, confirmed the fashionably dressed 6-foot tall woman with a Gucci handbag was indeed Chatman.
“We waited for her in the parking lot. We let her son graduate. I approached her and she tried to go to my left. She was totally shocked we had found her,” Hughes said.
Chatman was taken to Bristol Township police headquarters, processed and arraigned early Saturday by District Judge William Benz, who set bail at 10 percent of $60,000. She was sent to Bucks County prison.
Eisenhauer said when he went to her Marion Avenue apartment with a warrant in December 2011, he saw nothing but the “best in expensive clothes and handbags.”
Chatman allegedly was selling heroin and PCP at the complex, a police source said.
Chatman was not at the apartment at the time, but her son was. Police found 59 packs of suspected heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia, court documents show.
“She had promised to surrender that night and never did,’’ Hughes said. “We’ve been looking for her ever since. She reportedly moved south. We checked that out, but couldn’t find her, that is until Friday.”
In October 2011, Chatman allegedly sold heroin to an informant at Marion Village Apartments. That is why police got the search warrant and served it in December of the same year, Hughes said.
Just goes to show the obstacles some kids face in life. The son deserves credit for graduating with a home environment like that.
If the home environment in Bristol Township why is he graduating from Morrisville?
Good job to the police for doing their job, but let's get back to the original post. Congratulations to the MHS Class of 2013. It was a wonderful graduation ceremony. Everyone was so respectful to graduates and their requests. The evening was filled with smiles, tears and acolades. I am honored to know quite a few in the class. They are wonderful young adults with bright futures ahead of them. I look forward to seeing them years to come at the all year alumni reunion and hearing about their journeysjourneys. Time for them to spread their wings and fly!

There are times for falling apart, and there are times for getting' funky. This is one of them funky times. So what's it gonna be? You ready to play some funky music, white boy?
Undercover Brother: You know what they say, behind every great black man...
Conspiracy Brother: is the police.
Undercover Brother: No.
Smart Brother: A bunch of slow white athletes?
Undercover Brother: No!
White She-Devil: A cute butt.
Undercover Brother: NO!
Lance: Probable cause.
Lance: So let me get this straight; whenever a black guy does well, starts wearing Dockers, buys a few Celine Dion records, and sleeps with a White chick, you automatically say he's sold out?
Mr. Feather: You see what's happening, don't you? How we're being corrupted by their hipper-than-thou fashion and cool slang you can't help but use?
Once you've had undercover brother, there is no other!
Are the above comments really necessary?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say no.
Do racial jokes make you uncomfortable?
It might just be a quirk of mine, but I like my jokes funny.
Do you laugh in the mirror?
Only the one on the ceiling of your momma's bedroom.
She has a mirror in her casket? And I wasn't aware you were into that sort of thing. You might want to watch out. I think necrophilia is illegal in this state.
