A Farewell Post
With the new year underway, I want to share some updates with all of you. The first half of my senior year has been hectic. On top of regular college class coursework and performing at the theater, I was also busy putting college applications together. I spent hours drafting...
Meet the Photographer!
As a part of my new fundraising project, we’re raffling off two prints of sea turtles off the coast of Hawaii. These photos were taking by Mrs. Chrissy! Let’s learn a little bit about her and these prints! Can you give us some background on who you are, what...
Sixteen Candles (for Sea Turtles)
It’s been 2 years since my Trash-for-Turtles project ended, but I’ve been keeping busy. I started high school, joined new clubs, and took on a lot of harder classes (like chemistry!). High school is a lot to manage, but I am trying to stay active with my conservation work...
Marsh Madness
Every year, Keep Golden Isles Beautiful coordinates “Marsh Madness” clean ups. These clean ups occur throughout the month of March along Georgia’s coastal marshes. Last month, my family and I participated in one under a highly commuted bridge connecting Brunswick with St Simons Island. This particular cleanup was led...
A Call for Cans!
Attention Southeast Georgia! In the beginning of my Trash for Turtles project, I collected aluminum cans to recycle for money to donate to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island. Each year since, I’ve collected aluminum cans for various other organizations. My project may have ended, but I’m...

Starting the year off on a good foot
Happy New Year! It’s 2023! Another opportunity to make new memories, accomplish goals, and make the world a better place. Many people kick off each new year with a special tradition. Whether that’s watching the ball drop in New York City or eating a meal with family and friends,...
Silent Sky: The Story of Revolutionary Women in Science
Every year, my theater department competes in the One Act Competition. One Act is, quite literally, a one act play. Each school performs their play for 55 minutes or less and must start and end with a blank stage. Including this year, my school has won the regional competition...
Halloween on a budget: A thrifty alternative
Happy late Halloween! I hope you enjoyed trick-or-treating, visiting haunted houses, and of course, eating candy! Every year, I look forward to dressing up in costume. This year, I was Charlie Brown from “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” film and my sister was a detective. Instead of buying...
Art, Sweets, & Turtles!
I have been really busy with school, so this is going to be one of my shorter posts. Nonetheless, I thought this would be an exciting thing to share. This past weekend, my family and I went to Jekyll Island. One of my favorite islands along Georgia’s coast, Jekyll...
