My favorite SFB memory would have to be our Seventh Grade week-long trip to Yosemite. During that week, I was able to become closer with so many more of my classmates and upperclassmen, share a cabin with my best friend and enjoy a week of memories with my classmates!

Everything. Middle School Dances, Father-Daughter Dance, Spring Fling, The Christmas Concert, The Spanish Concerts, Pep Rallies, The SFB Festival, The Walk-A-Thon, Pajama Day, all of our overnight trips and so much more.

I am most proud of what I have accomplished over my time here at SFB. I have learned and progressed through so many life skills that I know I have received because of my years at St. Finn Barr. SFB has allowed me to step outside the box and find new passions such as participating in the Choir from 5th-8th Grade and running for student council!
𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵-𝘰𝘶𝘵:
First of all, I would like to express gratitude to my family. My Mom & Dad, whom I may not be at SFB without, all of my grandparents, my uncle, aunt, and so many others that have contributed to making my education at SFB possible.
Second, I would like to give a shout-out to all my teachers over the years from Kindergarten to Eighth Grade. To Ms. Gross, thank you for guiding me through Eighth Grade year in so many different ways. I couldn’t have done it without your endless generosity and support. And to Mrs. C, thank you for believing in me. I know I can always talk to you about anything. I full heartedly will miss you.
And lastly, to Cristina, thank you for being the best friend I could ever ask for. For the person that has been by my side through it all, my sister and the person that can never fail to make me happy. I am beyond excited to be spending the next four years with you at Mercy. I love you endlessly. We made it!
