Dear Family,
The hardest thing I've done in camp is proably relizing that im an 8th grader. I believe it was one of the hardest things I've done in my years at Saint Ignatius. When I got to camp I still felt like a 7th grader. I didn't feel a rush of exicement or a sudden empathy about growping up. It happened in the second week of camp.
My cabin and I took some blankets out onto the felid and just looked up at the stars. The 8th graders had gotten to talk and we just let out all the the feelings we had keep in for the past 2 years. I felt some how clamer and relaxed. I saw this one star is bright beautiful. I looked at it for a while and relized that i had been having the best time at SIS. I started to laugh uncontrollably. I didn't cry or get all emotional. I didn't need to. Yeah, of course there were sad memories but O was I happy. I accomplished 2 years of school. I was 13. I was an 8th grader. So I went to bed with a smile on my face and just dreamed about graduation.
Love,
Sheryl Apunte

What nickname would you like? - Magda Leonardo, 7th Grader
Well one day when we were meeting each other we had to make a nickname up for your name. It had to match with the first letter of your name. I said,
''Um Monster Magda, no ohh um Magical Magda, noo ohhh i know Monkey Magda.''
Everybody loved my name and it even matched with our cabin name it was "The Queens of the Jungle." So I was the Queen of the Monkeys. When we were going to our first camp fire we had to share our cabin cheer and dance and also the type of animal we were. So I started saying ,
"Ohh Ohh Ahh Ahh," just like a monkey.
Then Paola and Kiana started to rap. We all had fun and shared a great time together.

Owl's Head Hike - Chabely Leonardo, 8th Grader
Hi eveyone ! I am having so much fun at camp.I have been hiking and stream walking. When I went hiking to Owls Head,my legs got very tired.When we reached the top of the mountain the view was beautiful! We could see the road we drove on to get to Owls Head. On the way back down I slipped a few times because it was very rocky.When we got to the bottem of the mountain I picked up a rock to remind me of the fun day I had at Owls Head Mountain with Cabin 2 - Chabely L.
