Dear Villa families,

Auctions and Alumnae, Student Life Days and Sports, a Pandemic and… What else

can we fit into the first half of this school year?

It has been an exciting few months — albeit different from most years. I know my

perspective is truly unique. I am privileged to be an alum of Villa Joseph Marie, as

well as a teacher and principal. One thing I was looking forward to most in 2020 was

my TWENTY-year high school reunion — twenty years! While a celebration wasn’t

able to occur immediately, it was amazing to think back to twenty years ago. I was

a senior; my worries consisted of what I was going to wear to prom, if I would take

summer courses before entering college to get ahead, and if I should take a ride on

the senior slide. Now, I sit in my office trying to figure out how to safely host a prom

for our students who deserve some fun and celebration for the curveball life through

at all of us this past year. I am happy to say that we successfully navigated reopening

our campus for full five-day instruction, implementing more protocols than we could

ever imagine: temperature checks; alternating uniform and non-uniform days; social

distancing in classrooms, hallways, and assemblies; sanitation upgrades; mask wear- VILLA'S NEW VANS

this event will be held virtually, and I cannot wait to get the text alerts every time I

get outbid on an item throughout the week. (I expect that to happen a lot!) While I

miss the social and live Auction intensity of an in-person event, there is something

nice about sitting in my living room, in my sweatpants, scrolling through items and

experiences on my phone. I hope to see lots of bids on items this year — hopefully not

the ones I am going for, though!

It has been a year for the books. But, again, I think back to twenty years ago…

as a senior at Villa with day-to-day cares and concerns. In twenty years, so much

as changed — and yet, so much has remained the same. I am cherishing every day

ness that our staff and students put forth, daily. Our Alumnae, our fami-

The team fought hard, despite challenges due to COVID-19, and truly bonded in spite
of it. Overall, social distancing was easily maintained in this sport, with people on
opposite sides of the net. Cheers, as well as the line up that acknowledged each member
on the team before matches, were shouted while spaced out with masks on. Coach Jess
Sims pulled the athletes together to win both as individuals and as a team for multiple
matches. The senior team members appreciated that this season gave them “something
great to look forward to” at a time when so many other things have been limited.

VOLLEYBALL

Despite Covid-19, the team had a fairly typical season. They were able to play against
most of the teams that they had done so in previous years with about the same number
of games. The team was able to improve their individual skills and had a fun season
together. Gabrielle Lyons ’21 (Varsity Captain and libero) hit 1,000 digs this season
after working hard for the past four years. The seniors would like to “thank the juniors
for the amazing senior night they held for them. It was so special and a great time!”
