Editors' Note

Hello everyone, and welcome to The Cardinal’s last issue of the year! We are incredibly proud of our submitters for their beautiful contributions to this final summer-themed issue. You will find a wide variety of content, including photography and digital art from the downtown field trip, short stories, poems, and plenty of vibrant artwork.

Although this is our final year at Bishop Allen, we are so happy to have ended our high school experience on such a positive note. Over the course of these past two years, we hope you enjoyed reading this magazine just as much as we enjoyed putting it together. It was truly an unforgettable experience for all of us. This may be our last year as the executive team, but we are excited to announce that a new group of bright students will be taking over next year… please stay tuned!

One last thank you to our lovely submitters, our teacher moderator Ms. Conroy, and the entire Bishop Allen community for their unconditional support over the years. Lastly, we wanted to congratulate our fellow graduates from the class of 2023. We wish all of you the best of luck in the future! We know you are fully capable of achieving your goals, whatever they may be.

Have an amazing summer!
