Buckley Leadership Conference

 On Saturday, February 11th, The Buckley School hosted a Leadership Conference. 19 Marymount girls were able to attend the conference and Tatiana R., Class of 2013, reflected on her experience.

“The Buckley Leadership Conference was a very good experience. I learned from two guest speakers how to be a leader in both the political and business worlds. We were divided into small groups to discuss both. For the business side, we were tasked with creating a product for a children’s store that needed to be approved by the ‘manager.’ On the political side, we were given the problem of lack of funds for transportation in a fictitious city. In our groups, we needed to figure out a way to raise money to pay off our debt and to help the public transportation system, whether it was by raising taxes or hosting fundraisers. In both cases, the ‘manager’ or the ‘Mayor’ turned down several ideas and we needed to go back and think of more. From this we learned more about problem solving and working in a group. This conference was valuable because it consisted of students in a variety of grade levels from across Los Angeles.”

Valentine's Day treats

Valentine's Day treats

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Valentines from Marymount

Eight hours a day, going to and from

Eight hours a day, from friends to the best

The tall buildings on the street of the sun

Sitting by the gate greeting every guest.

The melodic music from Cantwell’s walls,

Sounds of explosions traveling below,

Flows to the calm chatter of the Butler Halls

Mixing with thoughts of the world long ago.

And yet, on the other side of the sound

Stand the shadows of life, waiting for us.

The world right over there, spinning round and round

Remembering those days spent on the bus

Eight hours a day, going by in a haze

Eight hours a day, make the most of these days

- Gigi H. Class of 2014

Happy Valentine's Day!

In honor of Valentine’s Day a few of our students have written poems and limerick’s to show how much they love Marymount. 

A place where creativity comes,

That lingers, too, when I’m an alum;

I learn all the essentials

That exceeds more than my potentials.

This is the place that knowledge sticks like bubble gum.

- Natasha S. Class of 2012

Dr. William (Billy) Hal Martin presents "Dangerous Decibels"

  Did you know there are 18,000 hair cells in each ear? And that all 18,000 could fit on the head of a pin!? On Friday, special guest Dr. William (Billy) Hal Martin (and Uncle of senior Katie E.) presented “Dangerous Decibels” to students, faculty and staff at Marymount.

"Dangerous Decibels"

  Dr. Martin used a variety of props and tools to teach our community about ways to protect our ears. According to the NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) 85 decibels is safe for up to eight hours in a 24-hour period.

Dr. Martin brought along Jolene as part of the education for our community today. Jolene was constructed using a used fashion mannequin and a sound level meter wired to a silicon ear. You’ll see her in some of the photos!

Dr. Martin gave everyone priceless advice, but he left us with this: “Remember to turn it down, walk away or use hearing protection!”

In honor of Valentine’s Day next Tuesday a few of our students have written poems and limerick’s to show how much they love Marymount. Tune in each day to see why Marymount is loved by so many.

Starts the four years brand new

Gliding through gym and the café too

At times tripping with the gripping never glitching

And on they go through senior den, kissing the grass of senior lawn.

Leaves the four years with memories to share. 

Showing off Compost Baskets, Katie E., Sydney M. and Jackie from The Cafe

The AP Environmental Science (APES) students are partnering with the Marymount Cafe to be green!  Rachel and Jackie from The Marymount Cafe are saving their compostable waste in bins provided by the APES class.  The are composting items such as lettuce, strawberry stems, and other left over fruits and vegetables.  Each school day students from the APES class collect the compost and put it in the compost bin outside the science department.  Students are recording information for a class project, such as the type of compostable materials collected each day and the temperature of our compost heap. By the end of the school year there will be a great batch of compost to be used in the Marymount garden!

“Since our earliest days at Marymount, our beautiful campus has always inspired us: the lush green grass, elegant roses and the beautiful trees.”
The Environmental Club works diligently throughout the year to educate the Marymount community about recycling, using reusable water bottles and containers, and encourages students to take care of the campus everyone is so fortunate to enjoy each day.

The Environmental Club

In order to further these efforts three members of the Environmental Club, Remy L., Lauren L. and Melia G., worked hard to find a solution to reducing the number of plastic water bottles on campus. They developed proposals, researched countless different water fountain models, calculated costs, met with members of the Marymount Administration, and held fundraisers in order to make their dream a reality.

The Environmental Club brings new water fountains to campus!

“Before winter break, we had heard semi-optimistic news about how if we worked diligently to raise the money and motivated our peers to help, we would be able to get these new water fountains.  However, when we returned from winter break we were overjoyed to discover the administration had decided to invest their funds in combination with ours to purchase the new water fountains.”

New water fountains reduce plastic water bottles

“The fountains have become a huge asset to our community and we are filled with pride when we pass through the hall and see someone filling up their reusable water bottle. The Marymount community is continuing on its path toward an environmentally friendly future as we take the steps necessary to reducing our waste and reusing our materials.”

New water fountains reduce plastic water bottles

Congratulations to the Environmental Club!

Thus far, more than 450 water bottles have gone unused since the beginning of the semester on this water fountain pictured above!

The Marymount Sailors are off to a great start in 2012! Check out the success thus far and tune in next week to find out how this week’s competitions wrapped up!
