NYC Day 4

The fourth day in New York was the second day of conferences.

We went to the conference during the morning and then had some free time for a couple of hours. During the free time a small group went on a ferry to Staten Island and went around the Statue of Liberty.

“I thought that the Statue of Liberty seemed small in comparison to all of the tall buildings,” sophomore Jarod DeWeese said.

Later, some of us went to B&H Studios, while others had a couple free hours to walk around Madison Square Garden. Most of the boys went to the Knicks game in Madison Square Garden.

“I really enjoyed the halftime show, people were jumping on a trampoline doing flips,” senior Dustin Weber said.

While the boys were at the game, all the rest of us went to an outside ice rink.

“Ice skating was really fun. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be,” junior Lexie Maloney said. “It was like roller skating.”

Jarod captured the day in video.

Sophomore Rance Tucker and freshman Tyler Tobin took photos.

Making the holidays memorable

Christmas is a holiday to build lifelong memories with both your family and friends.

As people grow older, the way they see Christmas changes. You don’t see it as a tree filled with presents under it anymore. You probably start thinking of it as an opportunity to see family come home, old friends returning from college, and other people you may not get to see that often.

Parking spaces spark creativity

Painted parking spots at other schools inspired the Pep Club sponsor to sell parking spots to help raise money for scholarships.
