Parkour is the art of moving as efficiently as possible from point A to point B. This summer, some friends and I spent hours practic-ing parkour tricks such as back-flipping off vertical walls.-Ali Imani (11)
I was an intern for the develop-
ment team of the website study-
sync.net, which helps high school
kids with writing analysis and
writing in general. It was a very
enjoyable first work experience!
-Kevin Toy (11)
I participated in the Biomedical branch of the COSMOS program
at UC. Davis. I participated in vari-ous activities, and I even had the opportunity to observe an actual
surgery in the veterinary hospital!- Alice Liu (12)
In Coalinga, CA, it’s blazing hot,
and there isn’t much to do. But
if you keep an open mind, you’re
sure to have crazy stories to
share with friends.
- Monique Beaudouin (12)
This summer I spent a week in
Mexico on a mission trip with the
CasaBuilders program. Several
church youth groups worked
together to help construct an or-
phanage in the Tijuana area.
-Jack Guan (12)
Over the summer, my
friends and I volunteered
at Bayside Middle School,
which is where we gradu-
ated from. We helped out in
any way we could (in the of-
fice, in the classrooms, etc.)
and we even earned silver
sword points! It was
so much fun!
-Jade Barkett (9)
I helped out at a camp called Summer Soul Surf Camp as a counselor in training (CIT). Our days consisted mostly of surfing on San Onofre Surf Beach and getting acquainted with other surfers. The style of the camp is super chill and everyone acts like family. It's so fun getting bit by the surfing bug!-Sharon Borden (10)
GO DONS The 80 days of summer flew
by quickly for Aragon stu-
dents. Many traveled afar
to pursue their interests
while others took advantage
of local activities. No matter
where they went, the Dons
encountered remarkable
opportunities and brought
back exciting stories of
their summer.

I work at Aaron Brothers, where I am a certified junior Framer. As an artist, I love
working there because peo-ple bring their best artwork
to be framed. I feel honored that they trust me with their precious photos and paintings.-Sarah Manning (11)
I went to Lhasa, Tibet and
spent three days at an or-
phanage teaching English
and playing games with
children through a program
called ARCC (Adventures
Cross Country). The or-
phans, who were happy
despite their hardships,
really inspired me.
-Jacob Rennert (12)
My family went to Australia, where
we visited the Sydney Opera
House and took a tour of the Blue
Mountains. We flew to Cairns
where we swam in the breathtak-
ing Great Barrier Reef and glided
across the rainforest in a skyrail.
-Elizabeth McSheery (10)
In Spain, I stayed at the Hotel Arts Barce-lona, the best 5 star hotel I've ever been to. I took Spanish guitar & Flamenco lessons.
I visited family in Bos-ton and some friends
in Kansas. I then took a family trip to Shanghai, China to see the World
Expo. Finally, I traveled to Malibu with my friend Katherine Pavicic, and we stayed there for a couple of weeks
