You know sometimes I feel like these blog posts just write themselves (no I’m not talking about last weeks because last week I was sort of running low on ideas.) But every once in a while an event pops up that needs to be talked about. This event started Wednesday when my whole class, and many others in the school heard a banging noise. What was this noise? It was the sound of workers posting the greatest insult I have ever seen go in front of our school, the insult which I would like to call: Da Sign. (it gives me no respect, why should I respect it by giving it a “the”?)
Some of you may have seen it but just in case you haven’t, the sign says in big letters “Aquinas Institute and Nazareth Elementary.” Well gosh, why not put a giant “SOLD” sign in the front lawn while you’re at it and break my heart even more why don’t ya? Lets also put a footnote that says “Oh yeah and that other school this place used to be.”
And right before the alumni picnic? Really? This was, and is, an important weekend that has been planned for months and should not be ruined by that board and posts in the ground!
They say words matter and that a picture is worth a thousand words. Can you imagine what a picture of that sign in front of our school would say?
As a Nazareth student I feel over looked and forgotten about, pushed out and labeled while I am still here. But personally I don’t care what that sign says because to me, that sign could say what ever it wants but that place will always be Nazareth Academy. Also, after the disrespect that we have received these past few months from the lies, we deserve to have or voices heard when we say that the sign needs to go. The sign needs to go in storage until school is over because we are still here and we are still Nazareth!
If any thing should be going up at this point it should be a stone. A stone that has the engraving: “Nazareth Academy: Once a Naz girl, always a Naz girl.”
Happy Mothers Day to all of you! Don’t forget to wish your mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, everyone Happy Mothers day and enjoy the Mother Daughter Brunch and Alumni Picnic if you are going!

I hate the tacky signs they've put up. I wish this whole process wasn't so corporate. This is about people's FEELINGS. I salute you, Naz girl, for what you write here.

I haven't seen this sign but that is definitely uncalled for especially since it is still Nazareth Academy until May 31st when the last senior class walks across the stage. I'm an alumni and this makes me very annoyed.
ReplyDeleteI died a little inside when I saw the signs...
