Poms up high, Celebrities officer Jenna McQueen lines of her dancers at the Vandy game on Aug. 31. This was the first time on the field since the passing of their dance director, Stacy Danielson. It was definitely a very emotional time, when we circled up right before to do our team prayer, McQueen said. We all just had the same idea in mind, to make her proud.

The body of Anna Garcia lays on the floor of the upstairs A-building alcove on Aug. 20. Garcia was placed here by Principles of Biomedical Science teacher, Nancy Matthias, so her students could crack the annual case throughout the year. “We learn through our curiosity, we learn through doing,” Matthias said. “By letting the students come up with their own ideas, their own theories, they learn it better because it is hands-on.”

Rooting through the 2,000 paper cranes Sue Stifflemire made for coach Stacy Danielson, dancers were in awe.  Junior Becca Thiemann said the kind act meant a lot to her and the team. I felt so happy and touched that someone who loves D as much as I do would put that much thought and effort into her, Thiemann said. It was the sweetest thing and I love that D has so many supporters that are helping her get through this rough time.
