Recently, the sixth and seventh grade class went on a field trip to “Rock On”, a rock climbing and adventure- type place. We, obviously, went rock climbing, hung on to a red punching bag, jumped onto a rope ladder, and altogether had a good time. They served us pizza before we went and even let us change into different clothes, sort of like a dress-down day. Then we were off! It felt a little like going to Canobie Lake Park, it was so exciting! Wearing normal clothes and going rock climbing might seem “eh” to other people, but to us it was a reason to skip classes, which of course all of...

In mid-April, the junior class visited the Boston Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the Senate. When we arrived, we were ushered into a full-scale replica of the Senate Chamber in D.C., where we watched a short video about the Civil Rights debate of 1964 and saw a few actors perform portions of speeches made during the debate. The room itself was spectacular, and Maddie Marcucci ‘19 commented: “I enjoyed being able to see what the Senate floor looks like and actually sit in one of the chairs. It's so cool to now be able to visualize where much of the political decisions and actions are debated...

As the year winds down, seniors and juniors are getting more impatient for the Italy trip.

After fighting for our team for almost three months, it was the annual sports banquet. We changed from our sports shorts and shirts into our elegant dress and high heels. The teams enjoyed pasta, desserts, and another moment where we unified as a team outside of our sport. The dinner was fun while we talked about our sport jokes and best bonding memories. This year Montrose has the most athletes ever, as more people choose to get involved into sports activities. After the dinner the rewards ceremony began. As each team was called to unto the stage, we felt a little shy at first. However, as...

May is the beginning of our long-expected summer vacation. The air fills with the smell of suntan lotion, ice juice and ocean. Searching every single pretty dress, some people felt excitement about proms; making final college decisions, and some people begin looking forward to their college life. But there are also girls who are so happy for their sisters’ great achievements in senior year, but at the same time feel upset about their leaving. Sister in my opinion is always the one whom we look up to when we were younger; they are the one we snuggle with when we lie on the couch. They are...
