These past couple weeks have been pretty busy, so I definitely have a lot share in this post. The final group of Juniors have gone off to Encounter, and the school went out to support the Varsity basketball team in the state quarter-finals. It was a super fun experience, because we did a "blue-out" and cheered together as a school for all of the girls playing. While we didn't end up winning the quarter final game, we won the next one meaning that we get to play on for fourth place in state!
In other news, the school musical started its performances last weekend, where a lot of senior girls I know were a part of the production of The Sound of Music. I went and watched it last Saturday and it was AMAZING. All of the singers and actors performed wonderfully, and it was definitely fun to see some seniors who had never done theater before venture into new roles. There were over a hundred people working on this production this year, including both actors and behind the scene tech crew members! As of today, the musical is still going on for the rest of this weekend so definitely make sure to try and make it for one of their last performances.
Finally, I wanted to share a great experience I had today in CMS. The focus of today's meeting was solidarity, hence the title of this post. I think that in today's world where there is a lot of tension and divisiveness a sense of overwhelming love and compassion is what is needed to unite once more. One of the CMS leaders Bella led some CMS members (myself included) to write cards with words or missions related to solidarity to put on a poster in the hallway. The poster would serve as a tangible item expressing the issues girls in our school is passionate about, as well as continue to support us in our perseverence for love.
From left to right there is Catherine, Camille, and Bella, all active parts of the CMS community.
As I near the end of my time at SMA, it is girls like these that make me look forward to every new day.
See you next time,
Bryn '17
