The sisterhood bond is growing even stronger as the class of 2017 spends their final days together.
The Class of 2017 has two months until they run Academy of the Holy Names’ halls for the last time. On March 2 and 3 the seniors strengthened their sisterhood while on an overnight retreat at the Bethany Center. This is the beginning of the end for the seniors as they near graduation festivities. All 109 sisters would agree that senior year has flown by. Their bittersweet goodbye is around the corner and here is what they still have to look forward to:
1 Their final Mini Course week- March 13-17
Senior Bruni Neufeld says, “ My favorite mini course experience is being a part of the Domenican Republic mission trip. The D.R. is something that you really can’t describe until you are there. You are so overwhelmingly happy and form the strongest bonds with the other girls. We like to call the sanctuary heaven on earth.”
2 Prom- April 22
A change in prom this year is that dinner is no longer provided. The destination of this year’s prom is yet to be announced.
3 Clap out- April 28
Running the halls has been an Academy tradition for many years.
4 AP Exams- May 1-12
Senior Audrey Dunn says, “I’m taking three AP tests and I am going to study a lot for them because I know it will benefit me in the long run for college.”
5 Silver Coffee- May 10
Students are officially inducted into the alumni association when they sign the book at Silver Coffee.
6 Graduation- May 25
The class of 2017’s graduation is taking place at the Straz Center.
7 Senior Cruise- June 2-5
Senior Ashley Lambert says, “I am really excited for going on a trip with all of my best friends. I love how it is a mother-daughter trip and know that I will remember it forever.”
