Fall.2

Hello everyone!

The year could not be moving any faster. It is already October of my senior year and I feel like it's been two weeks... It is amazing how fast time goes!
Though the time passes quicker with every moment, I have been doing a serious amount of stuff. One of these things is the St. Mary’s production of Macbeth. Currently we are heading into tech week, personally my favorite time of the play. I am a witch, which sounds awful, but it's really an awesome role. We get to be scary and have tons of metaphorical lines!
In another section of my life, I have started a class in the Reynolds Middle SUN Program. There are 4 girls in my class and each of them are going to make a film about what makes their community great. I am so excited because it is an amazing opportunity for me to learn about educating but it also an awesome chance for the girls to learn about film and find out if it inspires them. I am unbelievably excited for the outcome!
On a completely different note, Halloween is coming soon! The fall dance at SMA is upcoming and lots of girls are excited because the theme is Halloween Costumes. I hope everyone is planning an awesome costume (hint: the ones that make people laugh are the best).
I hope you all have a fun and candy-filled October!
Thanks for reading,

See you next time!

Back to School!

Hello all!

It looks as if we may have to say a reluctant goodbye to summer and send it on its way. I am an enthusiast of the all year summer but we do have to go to school! I am a senior this year, which is just unbelievable. It feels like I have been at SMA for a blink of an eye and now I am starting a years long finale. I can't imagine what college will be like but for now I am going to focus on my last year at SMA.
I have had a serious change in perspective this year about my classes. I am finally fully and wholeheartedly excited about all the classes I am taking. They range from PSU History of Modern Europe to Musical Theater to Marketing and many others. My year is going to be awesome, I already know it! I hope all you other students out there are feeling the same about your classes. If not, that's okay, you find happiness wherever you go.
Here is to a new year, a fresh start, and an exciting opportunity to make new memories that may last forever.

See you next time,

Here We Go!

Bye Bye Summer! 

DODGEBALL!

Hello all! 

The month of February is zooming by and it seems to be going too fast! though all of our time this year has been well spent so far. I think the warm weather is even starting to appear with a spattering of spring rain. 

St. Mary's has been partying all of February. Doernbecher Committee put in amazing effort to make this last week of school eventful and fun. More importantly, they raised a wonderful amount of money to donate to the Children's care charities and services. The events this week included spirit themed day, a distinguished dodgeball tournament that ended in senior vs. teachers, and a glow-in-the-dark dance on Friday! Everything was very put together and it ended up accomplishing its goal of raising money to support medically fragile children. 

I am very proud of all the ladies at St. Mary's and I hope we continue to keep of this spirit of service in the year of mercy! 

Thanks for reading and see you next time!

New Years Resolutions?

Hello all! 

These few first months of the year have been very busy! Not only is everyone still committed to their New Years resolutions, but they are excited and planning all of the fun for the rest of the year! All of the girls at SMA are doing the same and more. 

At the beginning of February many things were going in the St. Mary's community. The second group of juniors experienced Encounter, the little mermaid cast is tirelessly preparing for their show (which opens on Friday Feb. 26th, at 7 pm), and swim team finished up their season with a marvelous record. 

I am looking forward to the rest of February as it comes crashing towards us.

Thanks for reading and see you next time!

New Beginnings:)

Hello Again!

I hope all of you are having a wonderful January. I think it is amazing to have a fresh start and be able to embrace new beginnings! The weather is rainy and grey but that's nothing that us waterproof Portlanders can't handle. :)
 St. Mary's has experienced some new things this year already. We are now an Apple Distinguished School, an award that goes out to only a few schools in the country. Along with that, our basketball, swimming and ski teams are doing well and dominating the court!

Ambassadors are now helping to usher in perspective students of 2020 and everyone in the building is excited to see new faces!
Finals are over and girls are slightly more relaxed during the beginning of second semester. Hopefully we can keep the cool calm vibe floating into the new year.

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you next time!

Post Holiday Recovery

Hello again!

I had the most wonderful holiday, not to mention a snow day. I hope that all of you also enjoyed your time off. Even though Starbucks no longer has their red cups, I have declared 2016 The Year of Miracles. I am ready for anything that comes my way. I think everyone should declare their year, so I'd love to hear any ideas.

As the new year looms before us, we have to remember to keep our heads up and stay positive in the face of adversity. Finals are coming up next week and for some girls that is stressful. However, we have to keep in mind all the other things lives that are good. Whip cream, friends, family, and laughter are just a few.
My goal for next week is for every SMA girl to try to stay positive and do their best. That is all that's in our control and life is easier when you let stress go.

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you next time!
