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!
