Late Passes

During this last week the amount of students which arrived late increased a lot. Thats because of the constructions made for the International Festival. The school campus was chaotic during the morning. It didn't only generate traffic inside the school but also outside. One had to go out at least 10 minutes before one normally does not to arrive late at school. The school at least announced at the end of the week almost for the students to try to leave before from their houses, but when a students arrives 2 minutes late they should be excused. Because they probably were already in the school for like 10 minutes but the cars took too long to move. Finally this week everything will go back to normal and we will be able to continue with our usual routine.

Softball Tournament

Saturday 13th at PACA the Varsity girls softball tournament was taking place. After an undefeatable season not loosing one game either from PACA or Graded, Chapel was ready to bring the gold medals home. During the first game many points were scored and Chapel ended up beating the Graded Eagles. But the second game, the final, which was against PACA had a very tight score which didn't pass 7 points. We were all working very hard and together as a team. Fortunately everyone gave their all during the game and brought the gold medals home. We hope that the same will happen at Big 4!

International Festival

This year the International Festival was amazing. It was very organized and there were booths which even looked like restaurants. The food was delicious! One was able to eat delicacies from all around the globe in a matter of minutes. With great shows representing different countries. One could go from dancing tango at Argentina, to dancing samba at Brazil to breaking plates at Greece. Mexico and Brazil's booth really impressed everyone. Mexico's booth looked like a restaurant's bar, and was sponsored by Mercedes Benz and a traveling agency which takes care of tourism around Mexico. The Brazilian booth was very big and offered different kinds of entertainment. I just didn't like how they already declared themselves champions of the World Cup by writing " Caminho ao Hexa" on the booth. A statement a bit too soon to made. But in spite of that the rest was great. No one left with an empty stomach.

Chapel VS. St.Pauls

Two great teams, formed by dedicated and talented players played against each other this Friday at Chapel. A very exciting game in which Chapel started out in front, with a great first set which they won with ease. Chapel made precise plays and were in control of the game. During the second set they were trying to catch up to St.Pauls but in the last fews points of the set fell behind. During the third set Chapel won again, and were a bit nervous about the next set which they were hoping to win so the game would come to an end. Unfortunately St.Pauls won the next set and the final set too. Our volleyball players played very well, all together as a united team. The only thing they should work on should be their spikes, because that's the strong ability in the St.Paul's players. Even though we lost this game we are all very excited and full of hopes that we will make it to the finales.
