This is the Beginning - Opening
Bak was made for us
I
t was the end of summer, this was the beginning. Walking down the halls, this was the beginning. Seeing old friends rejoice and new friends meeting, this was the beginning. This was the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year.
Bak was made for us. We were special. We all had talents of our own and Bak showcased our talent.
“The teachers judging [the audition] were nice,” Nikita Tanguturi (6), communications major said, “but I was really nervous.”
For some, a new school year meant a new beginning and a chance to make new friends. Ava Romano (8), visual major set her goals for the year and made sure she was focused on them.
“What I really would like to accomplish this year is to make sure I do all of my homework,” Romano said. “Last year whenever I got a B in one of my classes it was because I did not turn in my homework. I want to get into Dreyfoos with good habits.”
Bak was made for us. This school was for us. This was the beginning. This is for us. This is for the dreamers. This is for everyone. This is for the doers. This is for the champs. This is for you. This is for finding yourself. And when it’s all said and done, this will be the end.
HUGS AND HAPPINESS Rejoicing for the first time, Amanda Shenkman (8) and Grace Barrett (8) love seeing each other. “I hadn’t seen [Grace] in forever. We didn’t hang out over the summer so I really missed her,” Shenkman sadly said. Before coming to Bak, Shenkman and Barrett were already friends. Photo By Abigail Parratto

This is the 190 This is the End - Closing
Students say good bye to one year as another approaches
I
t was the end of the year, this was the end. Testing was over, this was the end. Seeing old friends, saying goodbye, and hugging for the last time, this was the end. This was the end of the 2014-2015 school year.
The school year flew by rapidly to some students. For the sixth graders, the new school year meant
going into the next grade. For the seventh graders, thoughts of being at the top of the school raced through their minds. As for the eighth graders, one door closed as the other one opened as they prepared for their journey to high school.
“I’m sad because not everyone is going to the same high school. I’m not going to see all of my friends I’ve had for three years now. The fact that I’m not going to see them is sad and scary,” Mikel Rollet (8), strings major said.
From the very first day of school, new adventures, new friends, and most of all new memories were created. These memories would last a life time.
“My first memory was getting on the Tri-Rail for the first time and not knowing where to sit. It was a new and exciting experience for me,” Kyra Singh (8), dance major said.
Bak was made for us. This school was for us. This was the beginning. This was for us. This was for the dreamers. This was for everyone. This was for the doers. This was for the champs. This was for you. This was for finding yourself and this… was the end.
