The 2016-17 school year was a busy one for Memorial students, from participating in all of the various sports, clubs, and fine arts to studying for APs and SATs. With the end of the year drawing to a close, I decided to speak to a few of my fellow classmates about their favorite memories. In addition to memories of the school year, I also spoke to them about their unique plans for the summer. Here is what they said:

Favorite Memories

"My favorite memory from this school year was going to the football games."-Kendall Rives

"My favorite memories of this year definitely came from track meets. We had a lot of fun going down to Corpus Christi!"-Emily Ward

"My favorite memory of this year was taking a basketball team trip to Austin to get a couple of pre-district games in. It was the first real time that the new team bonded and we all had tons of fun. We lost a lot of seniors last year so the team was very new to playing with each other and the trip really helped us get to know everyone."-Sarah Cowan
