A new school year is a time to try new things, meet new people, and experience the wonders of high school. High school’s main purpose is to spread your wings and find yourself through new experiences and education. This is the time to experiment with new school activities. If you like an activity, join to meet new people that have the same interests as you. Freshmen Francesca Knoll says, “I signed up for Blue Gold and Improve Your SAT Score the Easy Way. The reason for Blue Gold is I want to help people outside of the Padua Community and have the experience. For Improve your SAT Scores the Easy Way, I love to read and they said that they’ll give us tips, but we can also have free reading, which just sounds nice and relaxing.”
