Busy Few Weeks

Hey everyone its Dan again. I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while but it has been a busy few weeks. Well the biggest thing that happened is that I made the JV baseball team. I have made so many new friends! It's great to have the upperclassmen leadership and have the opportunity to learn new things from them. The coaching staff is also great. Our head coach is Mr. Becht and Mr. Cowan is his assistant. Both are excellent coaches and I am looking forward to have a great season with them. The coaches are great, my teammates are great and I am ready for the start of the season, which is on April 1st. I'm so excited! We have a great team, although we have only played one scrimmage game so far, I am confident that we will be ready for the beginning of the season and to have an excellent year. Well that's all for now, talk to you soon.

Union Catholic Forensics Competition

Hi everyone its Allison again. This past Saturday, Union Catholic hosted the last Forensics Competition of the year. For those who don’t know what forensics is, it is public speaking. Forensic is so much fun; the coaches are wonderful and really help you on our speaking. There are tons of categories you can choose to participate in, too. I compete in the reading category or Oral Interpretation. The completion was hard this time because I was in varsity. Union Catholic did great though. We received 3rd place overall and had many other wins. Annie placed fourth in her category, we had three duo teams make it into the finals and place 6th, 4th, and 3rd, and also Katy placed first in Declamation. Union Catholic also has some forensics competing in Nationals, which will be held in Washington D.C.! Union Catholic has a great Forensics team and I love going to the meets and practice. Well that’s it for now and congratulations to everyone who placed and competed in Forensics!

Busy Week

Hi everyone, it’s Allison again. It’s been such a busy week! This whole week I had track and I have to say…I LOVE it! It’s so much fun! I didn’t know what to expect at first, but now I know that it is tons of fun. The coaches are great and very motivating. I’ve met some new friends too from being on the track team. I like hanging out with them when we do our stretches and workouts. We share tons of laughs, too! Track is a lot of fun, but it’s a lot of work. Each day I push myself a little further. Some days we had to run inside the school because of the weather. I never knew how big the school was until I ran through the halls!
Friday was also the Class of 2015 Lock-In. It was a lot of fun. I remember my Freshman Lock-In. I made so many new friends and most of them are in my homeroom. The Class of 2015 seems really excited to come to Union Catholic. (That’s what I like to hear!) Well that’s it for now, talk to you soon!

Track/World Studies

Hey everyone it’s Allison again. I’m really excited for track on Monday! It’s my first time going out for track and I’m soo excited! By the look of it on Friday, there were a ton of people trying out for spring sports. Good Luck to everyone who tried out! J My class is doing this awesome project in World Studies where we have to pick something from the middle Ages, such as weapons, clothing, or art, and make a museum exhibit. I think it’s such a cool idea! I’m going to do my exhibit on Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts. I love projects like this where I can learn about significant events and still have fun! The teachers at Union Catholic defiantly find fun and creative ways to make their classes fun and interesting. Well, that’s all for now, and good luck to all those who tried out for sports!
