Sunset News
A not-so-quiet month
by Nicole Nagel, Sunset senior
April is a bit of a quiet month at Sunset. Many events, drives, and projects have come to an end, and hence comes a moment of rest. Not to worry—the staples are still in full swing, as always. For spring sports, we have a lineup of baseball, softball, track and field, golf, tennis, and lacrosse. Sadly, spring sports don't often bring the sun with them in our area, so don't forget raincoats, blankets, gloves, earmuffs…whatever you need to stay warm. Pre-season matchups have recently finished up, and league play has begun. Due to rainouts, schedules are always tentative, but they are provided and promptly updated on metroleague.org.
For Sunset's seniors, April is a month of enormous decisions. Colleges have notified all students of their admission decisions, and now many students must finalize which school they will call home for the next few years. This is a very exciting time for these students, and if you would like to follow up on their choices, then stop by the College and Career Center at Sunset. There is currently a list in the hallway of where students have been accepted, and there will soon be a wall of stars with everyone's name and school. The Center also has a map showing where our students have ventured all across the globe.
Speaking of achievements, two Sunset students' artwork won national awards in Scholastic's Art & Writing Awards. Madi Muller won a gold award in the design category, while David Choi won silver in drawing. For earning gold, Madi will be flown to Carnegie Hall in New York City to celebrate her accomplishment.
Also heading off to New York City soon is Sunset's choir. Their tour begins on April 25th and will last through to the 29th. This trip is the culmination of countless hours of work and dedication, so we wish them fun and luck on the East coast! If you would like to catch them before they take off, the Metro Competition will take place on Wednesday, April 4th in Sunset's auditorium. The competition will be during school hours and will consist of Chamber and Madrigals only.
After digging deeper, I realized that maybe Sunset's quiet months aren't so quiet after all. With a school of over 2,000 students, there must always be something going on, and that is Sunset's beauty.
