Not even a power outage at Venture Christian Church on Tuesday could put out the holiday spirit of Branham’s band and choir performance. An owl that flew into a transformer and knocked it out was blamed for the outage in the middle of the band performance, a minor inconvenience, forcing the performers to improvise their arrangements. The show ended strong, with an audience sing-along of classics such as “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” and “O Come, All Ye Faithful.”

A tribute to friends, former and present, was the theme of the upperclassmen rally, as they shared the stories of their relationships and struggles. Junior Chase O’Neill shared how junior Erik Sadauskas has been working two jobs to support his family and for his mom fighting cancer. Senior Anica Le’s friends and teachers asked for a laptop for her creative endeavors. Also during the rally, Junior Kendall Fowler shared her why for being at school, and how sports and family helped her challenge her self-worth. It was also a chance for the school to memorialize Robyn Gutierrez, a student who passed away in 2017 due to complications from muscular dystrophy. We will share her story, and how she has been a constant thread in past Winter Wishes rallies.

The ninth annual Winter Wishes Rally on Friday offered laughs, tears and a chance for students to see the hidden challenges that their peers face. At the underclassmen rally, freshman Alec Karbowski and his family received financial help after a fire early November destroyed a large part of their home. The teachers of the Ignite program, which helps a group of freshmen and sophomores, wished for t-shirts as a sign of solidarity. And junior Olivia Downey shared her struggles and embrace of her Asperger’s, and the social obstacles that she faced. Here are the highlights from the first rally.
