Honor Class Photos Award Photos This past weekend, hundreds of alumni reconnected at Campion Academy, reminiscing about old times. The event included musical performances, church and vespers services, time to catch up with friends, and friendly volleyball and soccer competitions.
Shelley Stroh, class of 1974, expressed why she thinks it’s important to come back to these reunions. “Our class was so close while we were in the dorm, and it’s awesome to be able to rekindle those friendships. It’s really nice to be able to encourage one another, pray for one another, and it’s just been a really amazing experience.” The weekend kicked off with vespers on Friday evening, where students and adults alike shared heartfelt testimonies from their time canvassing. The night ended with a performance of “The Prayer”, by the choir. At the church service, the honor classes (ending in 4 or 9), were recognized. Alumni of the Year awards were presented to Anne (Lucero) Wham, class of 1964, for her service to the community while Ryan Hoover, class of 1998, was honored for his service in the work of God. Jim and Shirley Turner were inducted to the Hall of Faith for their dedication to the students and staff with over 40 years of combined service at Campion Academy. The church service featured performances from orchestra, koinonia, and handbells. Kay Kuzma, class of 1959, was the speaker for the church service. In her sermon, she encouraged people to learn to embrace the plans God has for your life, and how you should always aspire for something greater. In the afternoon, honor class members gathered to celebrate their reunions. On Saturday evening, Lisa Wham-Hickman, class of 1989, performed a concert during sundown worship in which she sang some of her family’s favorite songs, alongside her aunt, husband, and mother. On Saturday night, the current students and alumni competed in soccer and volleyball games. Alumni conquered the soccer game winning 6 to 2, and dominated the volleyball game winning 3 to 0. Arthur Lee Hatfield, class of 1984, reminisced on his time in sports and outreach. “We had ski trips, a gymnastics team, a flag football team, basketball, and volleyball. Instead of competing against other schools, we went to other small Adventist schools and set up clinics for the kids. We would do a little worship program on the weekends when we were there for Sabbath School, church, and vespers.” Milka Mendoza, class of 2021, reflected on why she came back this year. “It wasn’t my honor year, but I just wanted to come back because Campion feels like home. It makes me feel warm, and I will always love it here.” The Campion Academy student body traveled together to cheer on the Varsity Soccer and Volleyball teams at Saturday night’s matchup against Mile High Academy in Highlands Ranch. The Campion boy’s soccer team took home a win with a score of 8-1. Mile High won in the girl’s volleyball match after several close and hard-fought games with a final score of 3-1. Campion students spent the day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park on Wednesday, September 13. For half the day, students took a course from park rangers about the ecosystems that make up Rocky Mountain National Park. After the course, students were able to choose how they wanted to experience the park. Some groups went hiking, while others created music, and some even found a quiet place to sit and enjoy a book. One group of students went on a six-mile hike in Hidden Valley. Noeli Hernandez shared her experience: “It was really peaceful climbing to the top of the hike and seeing the views was worth it.” The Music Elements group, led by Naomi Fernandez, learned about making music with the elements provided by earth, but they also saw an assortment of animals. Senior, Jillian Frans commented, “It was so fun to spend the day with my friends. As we were making music, we saw three deer and many other animals near us.” For new students coming from other states and countries this was a new experience. Freshman, Ariana Martel said, “I really liked being able to get out of school and be in nature for the day. It was my first time being at Rocky Mountain and I wish we could do these types of days more.” Olivia Uphold, Student News Team The Campion Academy senior class grew closer over the five days of Senior Survival, camping in the woods of Glacier View Ranch. Tristi Ramos, senior class sponsor, reflected, “Senior Survival created opportunities for the class to interact and build trust across social circles.” Students brought sleeping bags, pads, or hammocks, but as a part of their survival experience, they couldn’t use tents. Each pair of students were given two tarps and rope to build a shelter to stay dry. They used their creativity to design their unique shelter to live in. “Building our own shelter and living in it was a very interesting experience,” reflected Jack Jordan. “We had to search the forest for lots of logs and haul them back to our camp for our makeshift log cabin. It was tall enough that we could stand up in it; however, during the night we had a little bit of a draft flowing through our cabin.” Groups were given a bucket of food and necessities to create their own meals. Janey Padilla-Reyes recalled, “I enjoyed making my food because it reminded me of when I camped as a child; my favorite meal that we made was the stew after a very cold day.” During the days, students were divided into groups to complete team-building activities, including a trust fall. Aaron Oster, senior, commented, “I learned that most of the activities you couldn't do alone; you needed support from fellow friends. It was hard at first but once we came together as a group, it worked.” On Friday evening, students sat around the campfire and shared their testimonies, “I felt more connected with my class as we all shared about our experiences when we first came to Campion. I was able to express how I first felt at Campion and how I ended up enjoying the company of my class and making lots of new friends,” commented Yolanda Han. Michael Fresse, a new senior, said his favorite part was “getting to talk to everyone in the class and developing relationships with them.” Brayden Marroquin, Student News Team This Fall, Campion started their first Cross Country Running team with seven students. The boy’s team came in second place at their first meet last Friday against five schools. The only girl on Campion’s team, Elin Sorenson placed 3rd overall for girls in the meet. In this meet, teams were scored by the placements of their top four runners. Israel Ortiz came in first for Campion at 9th place. Campion was able to achieve the second place win because their four best runners were all in the top twenty, while other schools had some runners in the top ten and other teammates coming in towards the back. quote from runner: The team is coached by Heidi Sorenson, parent of Elin, and Eric and Jenny Sigler (former Campion teacher). The coaches are all experienced runners themselves, and while this is their first time coaching cross country, they are eager to share the joy of running with the students. The team will compete in another meet on Friday, September 6 in Bailey, Colorado. |
