This year, the Student Association hosted the annual banquet for all the students in the gym. The theme was Renaissance, and the decorations were designed to fit the vibe. Renaissance music played in the background as everyone enjoyed their food and participated in fun activities.
While the students were eating, members of the Student Association called on each table to volunteer a student to battle it out in archery, jousting, and other games. Kylee Hart mentioned, “Even though my friends forced me to participate in the games, it was really fun, and I enjoyed sharing moments with my friends.” After everyone finished eating, students got into buses and vans to go to Fort Collins to enjoy ice cream and walk around to see the lights. Many students expressed that their favorite part of the banquet was enjoying each other’s company. “I liked spending time with all my friends and getting all dressed up,” said Taylin Weber. She also shared that she enjoyed walking around downtown Fort Collins after getting ice cream. “Even though it was cold, it was definitely one of the highlights of my night.” Nicollas agreed, saying, “I had a lot of fun watching the games and enjoyed hanging out with my friends and banquet date. Walking through downtown Fort Collins was perfect for pictures.” Finally, Oscar Ren shared, “My friends and I had a really great time, and this was my favorite activity of the semester. SA decorated and arranged the gym very nicely.” Abigail Brown, Student Editor

Last Sabbath was the reveal for Campion Church’s Adopt-A-Student program, in which church members anonymously ‘adopted’ a student to support with prayers, gifts, and letters of encouragement. The Adopt-A-Student program is split across the two semesters of the school year, and the girl students participate in the first semester. Over potluck, the students got to find out who had been behind the gifts all semester.
Teagan Phillips, a junior student participating in the program, reflected, “I was thankful for the gifts and excited to see who my family was. I was a bit nervous while waiting to see who it was but when I saw them I was really happy. I had a great time hanging out and eating with them.” Overall, the girls enjoyed this semester’s Adopt-A-Student. Many were grateful and blessed through the program. Taylin Weber, a junior, shared her favorite gift: “My favorite gift from my adopted family was definitely the blanket they got me, especially with the cold weather!” “I really enjoyed the gifts and anticipation of the reveal,” said Kelly Borne, a senior; “The prayers were super helpful and it was overall a great experience and kept me looking forward to something each week.” Aome Jacob Angeles, Student News Team SymphonyChoraleJazz BandIntermediate BandKoininiaChoirBellsSymphonyJazz BandUnder the direction of Naomi Fernandez, the students in the music department spent their Sunday making apple pies for their annual fundraiser.
Each music student took a two-hour shift and the group made 130 pies in six hours! The preordered pies will be delivered on Sunday. Thanks for purchasing and supporting our music department! Koinonia and Handbells headed up to Fort Collins Seventh-day Adventist Church last Sabbath morning, performing a total of eight songs during their church service. Music Director, Naomi Fernandez commented on the performance, “It was very nice to use our gifts and talent to serve local communities. We did great and everyone expressed that the music was amazing and that they enjoyed it.” After the service, the music groups were served a very delicious meal at the church’s potluck. Everyone enjoyed eating and talking to church members. Sophomore Julia Paez expressed, “I enjoyed the energy the music groups and the church brought out and I liked hearing us perform. The food served after was really good!” Thanks Fort Collins church for hosting us! Gerrad Vat, Student News Team The Campion student body overcame the fear of needles and came together to contribute to the donor blood bank last Friday.
The donor blood bank gave our students and staff two options, a basic donation amount and a double donation for those who met the requirements. Marc Winokan, a senior who did a double donation expressed, “I really want to help others that might need my blood. The process felt a little weird because I did a double donation where they take my blood, separate the red blood cells from the plasma, and put the plasma back in my body.” The blood drive is an event organized by Campion’s registrar Shannon Brown twice a year with the intention of encouraging Campion Academy staff and students 16-years and older to donate blood and help people. Shannon Brown, shared, “When I came to Campion, we didn't have a blood drive, so I organized one since I feel it is so important to keep this life-saving activity going among our communities.” She also said, “My hope is that students continue to donate throughout their lifetime and create a lifelong habit that continues to impact their communities and ultimately, their world.” Bruno Lopes, Student News Team On November 11, Campion Academy bells choir got to commemorate Veterans Day by playing “A Patriotic Salute” in Loveland’s parade.
The bells worked hard, preparing for the parade for weeks. Theo Poloza, a senior, reflected “I was nervous to do something new, specifically playing while moving. However, in the end, we played really well and sounded great. It was truly an honor to perform for the veterans.” The parade itself lasted for about 50 minutes and included a war plane flyover, historical military vehicles, and, of course, veterans. During the parade, four students held a Campion Academy banner in front of the bell’s float. Andrew Blomberg drove the Campion maintenance truck, pulling the trailer full of bells, which had been decorated in a patriotic theme by Toni Odenthal. Dick Stenbakken and Elliot Fortener, Campion Church veterans, marched behind the float and threw candy at the crowd. The bells rung nice and loud and impressed many around them in the crowd and in the parade “It was so exciting that so many people stopped by our float asking for encores and about Campion. When they announced our names they said we pride ourselves with our academics and music,” Naomi Fernandez, music director resounded. A bell player, Tita Zuniga, shared, “I liked seeing the little kids being excited about the bells. It was cool to see the airplanes and be a part of the parade.” Pamela Lah, Student News Team |
