We're Back!!
Welcome back to school everyone! And welcome back to my blog! With the first full week of school off to a great start, I’m already prepared and excited to let you in on the “inside scoop” of Union Catholic, once again. I was very excited when asked to continue my blogging from last year; I’ll do my best to try to keep you posted on everything that I know goes on at UC!
The best part about the start of school is seeing all of your friends again, comparing schedules, and seeing who your teachers will be. As much as I hated summer vacation to be over, it really is nice to be back. I can’t believe I’m a junior already. It’s cool to be an “upper classman,” and to have a lot to look forward to this year. It’s also fun to see the new freshman class. Even though they’re all probably a little nervous, and may be having trouble finding their way around, the school community has surely welcomed them, and I’m sure it won’t be long until they feel right at home. The UC Big Brothers and Big Sisters were at their Orientation Day, offering friendly faces and loads of help. The motto of the BB/BS Program this year is “we all need somebody to lean on!”
As a junior, I was very happy and honored to be chosen as a Student Ambassador. My duties include attending many events at Union Catholic this year, as well as welcoming and informing students and their families about our school. Maybe I’ll have the chance to meet some of you who read this!
Yesterday afternoon, we attended Mass to celebrate the opening of school and to remember the victims of 9-11. The Peer Ministry Program did a great job of preparing for this mass, creating a large banner, and picking the readings and songs. Because the theme for our school year is “you are the light of the world,” we sang songs such as “This Little Light of Mine,” “Christ, Be Our Light,” and “Go Light Your World.”
The fall sports season is already in full swing. Because of the rain yesterday, a lot of the games were canceled, but the girl’s volleyball team, who played at home, won their first game! Many kids from school stayed and cheered them on, and the gym was filled with a lot of UC Spirit. After school today, I plan on auditioning for the Fall Play. Next week, the freshman will get their laptops at “Out of Box Night,” and our Welcome Back Dance is next Friday. I can’t wait!
Well, as you can see, there’s never a dull moment at UC. I’ll be back soon to keep you posted!
