Well, the 2016-17 school year is finally wrapping up . Let’s talk a walk down memory lane and see what happened this year. As always, school kicked off at Skonewood, where students got to know each other through games, competition, and fellowship. Friendships continued to form in various autumn activities, including the fall play Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily. Calvin provided an opportunity for students to play soccer, basketball, and volleyball. For the freshmen and sophomores, service learning took place at Northport Elementary, Crestview, Linwood, and the Alexandra House.
This year’s theme for the winter dance was Moonlight on the Parkway. Soon after came Christmas, giving everyone a chance to get away and sleep in. After the post-Christmas lull, Prom walked ‘round the corner, flashing its “Under the Sea” theme. It was held for the 4th year in a row at the TPC in Blaine. Moving on, we’ll note that this is was the year for advisory trips. The students broke off into their academic families and each visited their own location: Duluth, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Chicago, and South Dakota.
As many people know, Calvin High School follows up the fall play with a spring musical. Lydia Thoreen returned to direct How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. And now, final tests are handed out, classes wind down, and we start to say goodbye to our seniors as they prepare for final presentations and graduation.
