What does it mean to be a
Villain? To some, it means
academic excellence, living one's
faith through service, or
participating in competitive
athletics. To others, it means
extraordinary arts programs, or
even traveling to the other side
of the globe for a world class
education. Though our
definitions of what it means to
be a Villain may vary, everyone
has something that drives them
each and every day. And
whatever that may be, we all
contribute to making Bishop
McGuinness unique beyond
compare. Though our interests
and talents may differ, we are all
bound by one common thread,
the amazing school pride that
comes with being a Villain.
Being a part o f the Bishop
McGuinness community means
something different to each of
us, but there's no doubt that It's
Good to be a Villain.

Many students took some really unique trips this summer, and Megan
Standen (12) was no exception. Megan traveled over 7,000 miles with

her family to Cape Town, South Africa in celebration of both of her
brothers' graduations. Megan's family has a tradition that when a child
graduates, they get to choose anyplace in the world to visit. So, when her
brothers graduated it was off to Africa for the Standens! Megan spent 10
days in South Africa, and while she was there she had the opportunity to
go on game runs. A game run, otherwise known as a safari, lasts about 4

days and you go deep in the African bush. While on the game runs,
Megan got to see all kinds of amazing animals, including rhinos,

giraffes, hippos, zebras, lions, cheetahs and more. Megan even had a
close encounter with the lions when she found herself in the middle of a

hunt during the lions lunchtime!

children throughout the

gratitude.

Students used their cell phones to capture timeless
memories, often including fitn filters. Diana Fernandez-
Borunda (12), who went on the trip said, "Sometimes we
wanted pictures then and there, and the camera required
too much work. Instead we would go on Snapchat and use

filters for things that we could look back at." Many
students still talk about how the trip gave them a different

outlook on life.

Party like it’s 1776
Check out what the BMHS students did on the 4th of July!
By Sophie Cobb and Hailee Rose

fflCE Emma Bourgeois (9) and Megan Bourgeois (10)
have some face painting fun to celebrate. Celebrating the 4th
of July at camp has become a tradition for these sisters and
they look forward to it every year. Megan said, "My sister
and 1 have been going to Camp Cheerio for 3 years now
usually during the week of the 4th of July. While at camp we
play a game where we dress in red, white, and blue in honor
of the 4th. The game is called Thrive, the objective is to
steal the most flags from the other teams to be announced
the winners." Megan and Emma go to camp at Camp
Cheerio in Glade Valley, North Carolina.

fiMD Mark Agejew (12) and Emily Agejew (9)
have some fun in the sun for the 4th of July. While some
students stay at home for this holiday, some travel. Mark
said, "Traditionally my family stays at home and watches the
fireworks in Clemmons, but this year we decided we were
going to go to the Outer Banks. We stayed in the Outer
Banks for a week and had the best time. We suntanned, went
out to eat, but most importantly we watched the fireworks."
No matter where students are for the 4th everyone usually
ends up having a cookout and watching fireworks!

Students from Bishop went all around the world this summer and
some even got to celebrate 4th of July in a whole new way. Samuel
McDonald (12) and Taylor Waters (12) traveled to New Zealand

this summer over the 4th. "It was winter when we went to New
Zealand so it was so different from the 4th in America. We did not
really celebrate the holiday, but instead went hiking and ate local
food from the town we were staying in." While some countries do
not celebrate the 4th Chelsea Jeffrey (12) got a whole new spin on
the holiday. "I spent the day traveling to Argon with Carmen Ester.
The city we were in set off fireworks in the middle of the day so you
could not see them only hear them." These were once in a lifetime

experiences that not many will be able to experience.

LIGHTPT\it MIGHT, Ashlyn Long (9) celebrated the holiday with friends and

festive attire! Her whole neighborhood gathers annually to watch the fireworks
show together. "It was fun getting to watch the fireworks as a neighborhood
tradition! I look forward to it every year." said Ashlyn. 285.3 million pounds of
fireworks are used every year for the festivities.

PfiKT*! IMTHt M5I1 Katie Bergelin
( 10) poses for a color
coordinated picture in the midst
of all the fun! Katie is pictured
with her friend, Adele, at their
yearly summer destination.
Katie says, "My family goes to
Linville every summer for the
big 4th of July celebration they
have there. My friend, Adele,
and I had a lot of fun together
dancing and watching the
fireworks show by the lake."
Many people have traditions for
the 4th of July such as hanging
out and watching the fireworks.
