Dear Readers,

This is a blog for all, not just Nazareth so I feel the need to say what this blog is about. We, the students and alumni of Nazareth Academy, are losing our school, our home, our Alma Mater and joining with our rival school Aquinas. Here is my view, the view of a Nazareth student. Enjoy!

This is a Catholic school!?

Hey! I hope all of you are enjoying your break! I am! Sadly it's the last day.
So you remember when I wrote earlier about the "Religion classes being put to good use." Well I have noticed other parts of the school where you can hardly believe you are in a Catholic school. In English class we are now watching V for Vendetta. While it maybe a slightly entertaining movie, I highly doubt that watching a movie that depicts a Catholic priest trying to have sex with a young girl is inappropriate in this setting. For a Catholic school that is trying to teach us God's values, I feel that they have failed.
P.S: The movie has nothing to do with any thing we are learning about at the present. It was so we could take a break from reading.

This post is for Sister Snappy

Yes! Just two more school days and it's time for break! Yay!
So this week I was cleaning my room and I found one of the lit books from Naz. In it was a poem that Sister Snappy had written. I loved it so much when I read it that I had to share it:

Outside traffic flowed
cars raced
Business as usual
Where did they go?

Down the avenue
I have traveled
Gotten in the lane
Only a block or two to go

Then up a hill
There it was
An old worn building
Character filled

My dear Nazareth
Home sweet space
Not just some bricks
But a living place

Where spirit rang
Tradition was alive
Where honor sang
And students thrived

Twenty years have passed
Hundreds of mornings
Out to meet the day
Headed to dear Nazareth

Old walls and halls
That echo a history
Worn floor boards
And cracked marble

Girls who chattered
Computers that flickered
Teachers dedicated
To all that mattered

It all began in '71
Eighteen that is
White gowns and roses one last time
God bless my school forever mine.


All credit to Sister Snappy.

College and Naz girls

SORRY!!! Missed another weekend. Well actually I was going to wait until Mix it up day (last Tuesday) to post but since Mix it up day was kind of a bust, I was out of a topic.
Mix it up day was supposed to be a day where all of the students have to sit with some one new at lunch. Not many did. I was going to write about how it went, but it was just business as usual.
So today I want to talk about college. Things are starting to get crazy with college tours, applications, letters of recommendation.... Any advice for students would be amazing.
Also I would like to know, how is it going at other schools? It's going pretty well for me at AQ. But how are others?
Also, remember back to my post "Naz Girls" where I said "Being a Naz girl means having the confidence to walk up to any one wearing a Nazareth shirt, no matter where you are, and starting a conversation?" Well I was actually wearing my Nazareth sweat shirt the other day and immediately ran into a member of the class of '67. It was so awesome! I had a 10 minute conversation with this lady and I don't even know her name! I just love that Naz girls will see my shirt and be like "Oh I'm going to go talk to her!"
Well that's it for now. But please guys, give me some ideas here. Just any thing you have a question about or something you would like to hear more about. If I don't get more ideas soon, I don't know if I can keep this blog going much longer. Ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
