GATHERED AS ONE: During Winter Walk in Faith, seniors, along with the Director of Liturgical Music Steve Viau, gathered together to sing worship songs at the beginning of the retreat. Group activities such as singing songs and playing games were used to introduce and familiarize each student to their fellow retreat members. “That was the first time we all got together,” senior Tallulah Rehder said. “But as soon as we got together into a smaller group and started talking, it was so much more fun.”

LISTEN AND LEARN: On Nov. 30, 2020, juniors Madison Reaves and Bianca Bays, alongside science teacher Marla Utley, share their experiences with racial microaggressions during this DEI Task Force meeting in the school chapel. Open discussions and forums like this are frequently used by the student-leaders of the Task Force to facilitate conversations about topics that are often uncomfortable to talk about. “I believe that the DEI Task Force responded really well with the responses that were given,” Reaves said. “The room was filled with understanding faces—there was no judgement. It was just a safe zone to talk about what happens and what Bianca, Mrs. Utley, and I have unfortunately gone through.” (Photo courtesy of Brigette Ramirez)

EYES UP, MASK ON: Students sit at their desks with their masks on and listen to their teacher. During the Hybrid Learning program, students are required to wear masks at all times while on campus, and teachers like Mrs. Kitsinis feel that change the most in their classrooms. “There's a lot of a lot of newness to this year…” Kitsinis said. “I've got to find new ways to get my students involved, engaged, and enjoying it. And I don't know that I have found that yet.” Photo courtesy of Tiffany Le, Co-Editor-in-Chief for the Crown Yearbook.
