By Alexandria DiNatale '18 On February 15, the first practice for senior sports night was held from 6-8 p.m. in the gymnasium. The seniors came together to practice their dance, tumbling, and skit performances and meet for sports competitions and painting the mural. The captains of each activity started choreographing and teaching their routines.
The seniors have had three of 11 practices for dance, tumbling, and skit. The girls on the mural team had two meetings during the February break. The year is working as a team to make their last Sports Night the best one possible. “Being dance captain is a lot of work, from putting together choreography, to teaching it to over 30 girls and editing music, it's a hard but enjoyable job. So far, we've only had three rehearsals, but the girls show so much potential and I think this year will be a really great one.” said senior dance captain, Jailene Gonzalez. The seniors have eight practices left to prepare for the rehearsal at St. Francis College which will be held on April 9, the same day as Senior Spirit Day. The festivities for Sports Night include a volleyball tournament and relay race.

By Maggie Arpaia '18 The Bonnies are helping out their school’s mascot. On Feb. 26, 2018 Fontbonne Hall Academy’s National Honor Society held a fundraiser for The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to foster 4 baby elephants. Each year will have its own baby elephant to foster.
The Fontbonne community is excited to foster the elephants and raise money for such the cause. Senior Sabrina Perrone said, “I am really excited to foster an elephant with the rest of my year, I really feel like it is a great idea and a great cause.” To raise enough money, a raffle was held from February 26 to March 2. The winners of the raffle will win a Michael Kors bag and an Alex and Ani elephant charm bracelet. The names of the elephants for each of the years are, Ambo (freshman), Jotto (sophomores), Kiasa (juniors), and Sagala (seniors). The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is one of the the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation programs in East Africa. |
