In addition to walking across the stage to receive her diploma, Jade also gave a speech in front of her classmates and their loved ones.

‘I’ve often heard the phrase “you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.” Probably even more so because of the pandemic. But even since the pandemic, I hear the phrase often,’ she began. ‘Well, I don’t think it’s accurate.’

The rising high school freshman went on to explain she and her peers, many of whom attended the same school as her since kindergarten, have always known how ‘happy’ the school has made them.

She noted many of them feel the sense of ‘family’ at St. Matthew’s. 

Her parents, who divorced in 2015 after nearly 12 years of marriage, were cheering her on in the audience every step of the way. 

Jade’s mom recently spoke up about their very close bond and shared loved of cooking. 

‘I thought maybe she wouldn’t want to cook like me because she’d want to do her own thing, but she’s so into what I do and wants to be by my side every day,’ Giada said to Parade back when her daughter was only five-years-old.
