More May Days

"Ave Maria" solo - Mary's Day

Posing with the Queen on Mary's Day - her fave senior, Iliana.
 

Wacky Tacky Day

May Days

Ready for Coffee House at the Alverno Villa.
Hosted by the Literary Magazine of which Ciara is a part.
The theme this go round was "Hipster".
Reminds me of Auntie Kat during her AHS days in the 90s.
 

Reading her poem at Coffee House. 
She later sang a solo.
 

The next night was the Spring Choral Concert.
Ciara has another solo.

Missed taking a picture for the next night's event which was Visual/Performing Arts Night.
Mom and Dad were event chairs.
Ciara sang "Another Suitcase, Another Hall" from Evita.
 

Ended the week with Mary's Day!
Ciara sang with the choir and then sang "Ave Maria" solo.

Godpsell - Part 1 - April 2013

Ciara and the rest of the main ensemble of Alverno's "Godspell". 
Lots of rehearsals, but well worth it.  The production was wonderful. 
Ciara rocked "Day By Day" and "Long Live God".
 

Official Head Shot :o)
 

Opening Night!

Mom, Dad, Nana, Bruce, Aunt Eliz, and Becky helped cheer on our girl in the audience.
Closing Night... Mom, Dad, Brendan (who enjoyed clapping for everyone) and Áine who literally sat on the edge of her seat and emoted when emotion was called for and even cried when Jesus died :o( and Erin and Bernardo (Ciara's biggest fans!), and Aunt Margaret who flew in from Arizona.
 

Ciara doing her thing!

Random School Shots - April 2013

Áine Clare had a day off in April and decided to visit her old stomping grounds
at La Rosa.  She was so happy to see Miss Roxanna, Miss Sam, and Miss Wu.
I think the feeling was mutual :o)

 

Meanwhile back at HBIC... Áine was rocking her best Flashdance look.

And she even got her hairs did while shopping with her class.
