SV Prepares for the Yearbook
By Isabelle Mesropian
Sierra Vista, like many schools, has year long electives. SV has journalism, ASB, band, and yearbook. Yearbook is a year long elective that plans and produces the end of the year yearbook. Students in yearbook are assigned a page and are given the year to make it.
“I do the ‘teacher loves’ page and the ‘round campus’ page.” explains seventh grader Paul Coleman.
Similar to Coleman, Kayla Morales has her own page, “My job is to make the yearbook page and to plan the distribution party.” Both students plan to continue yearbook next year.
Yearbook director, Mrs. Lennarz, says that the most hectic time of the year is near December which is the club’s first deadline. “This is the club’s main goal [is]….to discuss the creation of the yearbook and how to design it,” explains Lennarz.
Lennarz has been in charge of yearbook for two years and is very excited to help her students make the school’s yearbook. Students in yearbook have plenty of time to make their page, but as Lennarz explains, “The most hectic time of year for this club is probably the month of December because that is when we have our first deadline. The deadlines are broken up into thirds,” she continues, “one third of the yearbook is due in December, one third is due in February, and one third is due in March.”
Although this seems stressful, most students say that they get plenty of time, making this club somewhat stress-free. The club would love to have new members and are looking forward to new arrivals next year.

Borelli’s passion for science began in 10th grade when she took honors biology. She loved the class and the teacher inspired her to pursue a career in the biology field.
Despite being a great science teacher, teaching was not always her first choice as a career. Borelli saw herself being a firefighter.
She went to school to become a nurse, but then she realized she wanted to be a teacher. Borelli also had hopes in becoming a life flight nurse who helped people in critical conditions in helicopters, but she had 4 knee surgeries that prevented her from entering the fire fighting department. Borelli wanted to give students the knowledge of body functions, prevent getting sick, germs, and biology.
“I knew I wanted to work with students so they had that passion for science that I had,” says Borelli.
During her F period, Borelli teaches a Teen Issues class. Teen Issues revolves around teaching students about health and body systems.
“We talk about the negatives of drugs. She helps me understand the meanings of everything we learn about,” says Mia Benitez, a seventh grader in the Teen Issues class .
Borelli says that her biggest achievement in life is her family. During her free time, Borelli enjoys spending time at the park with her family.
She likes visiting museums and swimming. She also highly enjoys watching Steelers her favorite football team games.
Mrs. Borelli hopes her students succeed and take with them the knowledge of science. “I hope that they leave the class knowing that science isn’t just something they are just learning in the classroom, but something they can learn in their daily lives. I hope they continue to grow in the world around them, keeping in mind that science goes beyond the classroom.”
