matter, as long as they spent time with friends.
Living in a military community, they were accustomed to welcoming students each
year. “A few people approached me and welcomed me to the school. At first it was
lonely, but after a few months | was able to make some friends. | appreciate the fact that
those people made an attempt to make me feel welcomed,” senior Maria Zagursky said.
The Buills also welcomed incoming freshmen. “When | came to high school, | was
really excited, but | didn’t think the upperclassmen would be helpful. On the first day,
everyone was really nice,” freshman Kate Leeming said. The friendly atmosphere
created by the Bulls made the high school transition easier for incoming students.
Outside of school, the Bulls enjoyed hanging out with friends. “My friends and | like
going to see the latest movies or eating lunch at each other’s houses. We always find
some way to have fun together on the weekend,” freshman Lindsey Beadle said.
