This quarantine experience has been quite an interesting one. I remember when they first announced schools were being canceled, I was very angry because all I could think about was the inconvenience it brought me. I wanted to be in school with my friends, I wanted to go on our Ireland trip because I wanted to travel with my school friends and experience a new sense of independence.

It’s that time of the year -- we’re so very ready to jump into summer, yet at the same time, we dread saying goodbye to our friends in the graduating class. One of those people is the one and only Anna Bachiochi. Anna has been a part of the Montrose community since she was in sixth grade. After all of this time in Montrose, she has grown friendships in the community, creating heartfelt memories.    What was your FAVORITE MEMORY at Montrose? This was a funny question to ask because, as she said: “I have too many good ones to count!” But she said that of all of the Christmas...
