SENIOR SPEAKERS
Congratulations to our first Senior Speakers of the 2021-22 school year, Amna T. '22, Weezie W. '22, and Tess G. '22! Alma spoke to lessons learned during remote classes, as well as her affinity for the tv show "BoJack Horseman," and how they have shaped her new appreciation for engagement inside and outside the classroom at BC.
Weezie shared his family's special connection to shark diving, the effort that went into becoming certified as a diver himself, and the wonderful relationship he has formed with one of the ocean's most exciting species. Tess spoke about how building a strong relationship with herself has led to real confidence and how that was reinforced by her experiences at the Island School, including camping on the beach during a tropical cyclone.
