Seniors on the Move

by 3 Comments

PVS seniors have had a busy few months. They’ve been applying to colleges, voting, putting on dances and Nest events, eating crumbl cookies. Let’s check in with Enzo Lomsky, Anais Lee, and Alex Ratner, and see what they’ve been up to.

Enzo’s been up and down the West Coast, likely traveling with a little AP Lit Dostoevsky.

Not to be outdone by Lily’s trip to Rome, Anais went to London.

Alex may not be on the move (okay, so actually he’s checking out USC and UCLA today); but, he is “moving” in the kitchen. How many different ways do you think Alex can prepare chicken?

What’s Going on with our Senior Class?

Good stuff!

The seniors in Advisory made collages summing up fall events and feelings. Last post, you saw Zach happily eating crumbl cookies, Lily making future plans for a life in Rome, and Mirabelle taking time for fun and friends. Now, let’s take a peek at how seniors Kristina Panagiotaros, Abby Assefa, and Cindy Wang assess the first quarter of their last year of high school at Palm Valley.

Kristina, along with several of our seniors, turned 18 just in time to vote–first time ever–in November’s elections. They displayed proudly their “I voted” stickers.
ASB President Abby is on top of everything, but she also makes time for the fun, the music, the family, and the fun. It’s important.
Cindy nailed it. The seniors have expressed immense relief at submitting those college applications. Being done with that stress apparently feels like a vibrant sunset at the end of a very long day.

Seniors Say . . .

We asked members of our Class of ’25 to sum up how their senior year is going so far. They created collages. We’ll start with seniors Zachary Kazmouz, Mirabelle Lee, and Lily Jones.

Zachary is all about the Crumbl right now.
Despite working assiduously on everything academic, writing supplement essay after supplement essay for college admissions, AND supporting her non-profits, Mirabelle makes time for fun and friends.
Lily‘s still basking in the glow of summer travel with the family. She is smitten with Rome.

Stay tuned for more updates from our PVS Senior Class of ’25.
