What are you doing to ring in the new year?

“My husband and I are going to go to Canada, so we are going to go to a different country and experience that. We are also going to go to Vancouver and go skiing in Whistler, so think of me skiing down a mountain and hopefully not coming back on crutches in the new year.”

-Mrs. Drown, Guidance Counselor

What gift are you wishing for this year? 

“A Garmin or GPS watch because I am running my first half marathon in February and trying to prepare for it.”

-Ms. Fish, Social Worker

What’s your favorite holiday memory?

“When I was pretty sure I was getting my first pair of hockey gloves. I wasn’t totally sure though, so I carefully opened the tape on the box and saw CCM, which is the brand of the hockey gloves. I knew I was going to be happy.”

-Mr. Formanski, Guidance Counselor

What is your favorite part of the season? 

“Definitely spending more time with my family. I have a sophomore and a seventh grader, and I am obsessed with thinking about all of the things we can do over winter break, especially going ice skating and watching Hallmark movies. We watch so many Hallmark movies; we can just sit there for hours and watch Hallmark movie after Hallmark movie after Hallmark movie in front of the fire. I cannot wait to do things like that.”

-Mrs. Hein, Guidance Counselor

What does your ideal winter break look like? 

“It looks like me sleeping in late and spending a lot of time with my mom and my dad, who live in the nearby suburbs. Every winter, I go skiing with my dad or other friends. This year, I am going to Lake Tahoe.”

-Mr. Hutcheon, Social Worker

What are your New Year’s resolutions for the upcoming year? 

“My New Year’s resolution is usually to get back in shape before spring break. So, I will usually start around January.”

-Mrs. Matos, Guidance Counselor
