Page 19 - 2017 Yearbook

Have you ever noticed the adorable sixth graders sitting in the senior section during chapel? Did you ever wonder what they were doing there, sitting with people twice (or thrice) their size?
The answer is: panther pals. All 6th graders were paired up with seniors in order to create a more close-knit community at Priory. Sixth graders and high school seniors definitely
aren’t groups that hang out on a daily basis, so this is opportunity for both groups to create more friendships and connections within school.
Megan Love (12) said, “Panther pals are fun because just as you are nearing the end of your teenage years, your pal is just beginning it so the perspective you both share is pretty special.”
Matthew Carusi (12) said, “My panther pal is really good at ping pong so it’s fun to play with him but moreover I like chatting with him about middle school experiences with him and then kind of telling him a little bit about what it’s like in high school.” Yoonho Choi (12) also said, “I like having a panther pal because you can pass down “wisdom” to cute youngsters just starting middle school. I feel like I could help them grow and not make the mistakes I made in my life. It’s pretty great.”
Just imagine, one day the class of 2023 will be big bad seniors themselves, helping their own pals navigate life at Priory!
1. Brenda Uribe (12) and Leah Nelson (6) play a quick game of volleyball together during break. 2. Yuritzy Morales (12) and Chloe Huffman (6) are all smiles while enjoying each others company. 3. Matthew Carusi (12) and his panther pal Will Strickland (6) hang out during lunch to catch up on new and exciting things happening in their lives.
