About Me
- Mr. Phillips
- I have been teaching at SPCC since 2004. I love interacting with students everyday and working with my peers. I also love playing and coaching basketball, playing baseball, and golfing. I love being spontaneous and riding the wave of life where it takes me. I am also very proud to have the best wife, duaghter, and a brand new edition on the way in September. My parents are a driving force in who I have become and throughout my life I have had the best friends around me who love me for who I am. God has guided me in many ways that have turned into miracles.
Mr. Phillips and Mr. Coonan can come to my partyyyy!!!!!! 33 Salminen Drive Leicester!! We are swimming and tubing(:
ReplyDeleteWow Ray, I feel honored you would invite me to the party. Wish I had seen it earlier, but I wouldn't want to intrude. I hope it was a great time, it is rare to see a group as close as you all.
ReplyDeleteMichaela, Marisa, and Juliana if you want that workout DVD let me know I will get it for you ok? What a surprise it was to see the three of you yesterday. I enjoyed the chat greatly.
Oh yeah to all those who watched the Bruins that was awesome! Anyone going to the parade?
Good work Greg. Not an easy task huh? Now I have an hour and a half of bikram yoga woohooooo!!!
ReplyDeleteHey everyone. Just saying hola and hope all is well. Juliana when I talked to your mom she gave me the name of a place you guys camp in the white mountains. Can you ask her what that was. If someone sees this can you let JB know I am wondering. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th everyone!
ReplyDeleteI miss 8th grade already! D:
ReplyDeleteIt was a good year Shawn. I hope the summer is treating you ok. Just got back from white mountains. Did some mountain hiking, cliff jumping, water park, grilling, and fire pits. Been a super week but feel like I need to workout. Hope you all are enjoying. Good to hear from you Shawn. Glad you feel you can still use this, and I he otters do too!
ReplyDeleteYo Mr. Phillips!!!!! How is your summer going? I'm liking what you've done to the blog! the design is quite fancy! Yes i'll ask Juliana for ya :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Michaela! I am currently finishing up this class at Holy Cross and have got some golf in as well. My best friend got married and I went up to white mountains for some fun. No baseball is making summer way different though and I haven't fully adjusted. I am glad to see you commenting and using this to communicate. Thanks for the kind comment about my 4 minute redesign of the blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat have you been up to for the firt two week of summer? Any good times to tell about. Please pop on and comment more. Tell others to as well. I enjoy hearing how everyone is doing. Tell JB if it is possible to find out that camp site for me thAt would be great!
Happy Late Fourth of July :) I havent checked in on the blog in like 2 weeks.. i feel so left out! So how are everyone's summers going..?.. Even with humid weather that we got today. :)
ReplyDeleteI logged on the other day and I was shocked to see that no one (for the most part) has been leaving posts/comments. So I will remind everyone via Facebook & Twitter to look back here! I have to say that I miss 8th grade which I was not expecting this time last year. I am sure that no one was expecting me of all people to be back on the blog, but I hope that this is the Class of '11's way to keep in touch. And people, spread the word!
ReplyDeleteYeah! I will do the same as andy.. And i really do miss being in school with the teachers and tthe whole class of 2011... I cant believe that it has been a month since we graduated :( And i already feel myself losing contact with people.. I am so glad that we have this to help keep in touch with EVERYONE from our class.. including the teachers. :) I hope your summers are all going great!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we could like have us communicating through here throughout high school? That would be pretty fun.
ReplyDeleteI just read what was said and to tell you the truth, I'm shocked, too. No one has really left any comments.. BUT.. I'm gonna help Andy and Grace(: Honestly, I keep thinking that in about a month, we are all going to be heading back to saint peters for a new school year.. /:
ReplyDeleteI'm with all of you guys! I haven't seen a lot of you all in a while :( I'm so glad Mr. Phillips made the blog. Now we can still kind of stay in touch with the SPCC crew. I already miss it! I'm pretty pumped for high school though. Well i almost forgot about the blog but I'll check it now(:
ReplyDeleteOh and Mr. Phillips, I have been getting ready for fall sports and i was wondering if you can give me some cardio tips? Thanks :)
ReplyDeletesadly almost forgot about the blog but andy reminded us thankyou andyy :) hope everyone is having a great summer miss you all see you soon at mimis birthday partty <3(:
ReplyDeleteMR. PHILLIPS!!! i have missed you greatly my friend! what have you been up to lately? how are your classes at holy cross that you were talking about with us and juju?
ReplyDeleteooohhh i forgot to tell you! my cousin andrew (big guy, kind of crazy) saw you at a wedding around the end of the school year and he said "oh i met this teacher from st. peters that was tall and skinny and he seems really cool and funny" and i said thats mr. phillips! haha what a coeenkidink (im sure you enjoyed my attempt at spelling that word)
i have missed all my spcc friends so much and we should all go somewhere fun all together. mr. phillips you are invited too!this blog really is a great way of staying in touch. hope to see you guys soon
p.s juliana just texted mick and said that she will let you know about the camp thingy
ohh and aoifeee i appreciate your picture of jaden smith greatly ;)
ReplyDeleteWow. This is awesome! I thought all you guys got too cool for the blog, I almost chalked up that it was done.
ReplyDeleteGrace, for basketball running, sprinting, cutting are all great exercises. Also leg strength is key so anything to strengthen your legs will help. Remember the lower half is key. Plyometrics, aka jump training, exercises are grea. I have been doing them with Greg and you can join if you feel up to it. YouTube plometrics drills. When your doing the drills it's all about form not how many you can do. Feel free to ask questions or join in on a summer workout.
Marisa the feeling is mutual. I just finished the class 10 minutes ago. It was scary to be a student again. I did real well and love math. I am trying to picture this Andy guy but can't. You need to give me more about him. What was the date of the wedding, who did he know, who did he go with? You have me thoroughly intrigued. I am so glad all I said to people and still say to people about this class is true. Your all proving it with your special connection. I am glad I will be able to look on the and see comments. It was getting old checking for nothing.
Thanks for the help Mr. Phillips! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you need more specifics let me know.
ReplyDeleteBay the way, Andy I knew you would miss 8th grade about half way though basketball season. You really opened up, and I'm pumped you'll be popping on this.
Alexia it's always like that in the months before a big change. I can't believe all of you are not going to be the either. How's the summer going?
Aoife good to see you showing your face. I figured all you guys forgot about this amazing blog I created with my ingenious Mind, ok I'll stop hahaha! Glad you are back though and I'm glad your ready for high school. You are going to dominate. How's your summer?
Dominique good to see you back as well. This will be an easy way to stay in touch. I can't pronounce your name wrong on a blog though which is frustrating for me. How is your summer?
Grace and I were hoping last night that you would still go on the blog with the amount of people that WERE going on, but I am glad to see that you are still going on Mr. Phillips.
ReplyDeleteI'm still standing here. I love using movie quotes that nobody knows. I do it in class all the time and half the time no one has a clue unless I say what movie what movie?
ReplyDeleteThe Wrestler?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteJulian said its called Franconia State Par "Campground."
ReplyDeletesorry i forgot the "a" in julianA!
ReplyDeleteOh and I also forgot the "K" in parK!
ReplyDeletethank you very much. We were actually in that area last week and hiked through a campground. I wonder if it was the same one. hmmmmmmmm. Andy no it was not "the wrestler"
ReplyDeleteantwone fisher?
ReplyDeletegur. google fails/.
ReplyDeleteHelloclass of 2011! well this is random but i was wondering if anyone has seen winnie the pooh? The movie looks awesome an di think people from our class should alls ee it together :) haha yep random but yep :)
ReplyDeleteGreat weekend in the white mountains for me. Hiked two 4000 footers and a 3700 foot mountain in the same day. Floated down the Saco River as well in tubes. I was up with at Mrs. Gregoire's place with friends. Good times!!!
ReplyDeleteMarisa was Antwone Fisher a guess at the movie quote?
yes i looked it up on google but obviously i was incorrect...
ReplyDeleteim glad you enjoyed yourself at mrs. greggys place!
and grace i have been dying to see the pooh movie!! i had an obsession with him my whole life and i am not even just saying that... i had my whole room pooh wall paper until i was like 12 and i still have a whole collection of winnie the pooh stuffies...
ReplyDeleteDoon't lie you still have the pooh wallpaper. Maybe your quote was correct, I am sure it has been said in many movies but I was looking for scarface. It's rated R so and not a good movie quote to be throwing out. I just like it because it is based on a true story. Those movies always reel me in. I will do PG rated movies hahahhaha.
ReplyDeleteMy mom told me that when I was a toddler, I used to quote Winnie the Pooh and would say "I've got a rumbly in my tumbly." I was one pathetic child.
ReplyDeleteMarisa, me too! And i've had this old disgusting looking pooh bear stuffed animal FOREVER.. We need to go see it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad you enjoyed your weekend Mr. Phillips.. That sounds very fun and interesting! I didn't really do much this weekend, but on Sunday me and my sister Catherine went to the Worcester state turf to practice field hockey and there was a tournament going on for an older girls league (like out of college) and they let us play.. It was really fun because they let me be goalie and my team won.. I felt very accomplished after that :) ahah if anyone was wondering... :)
Wow good stuff grace. Good experience too to play with "older" girls. How to represent.
ReplyDeleteAndy I'm not sure what you meant by your mom always told me that? What were you commenting on?
That was directed at the Winnie the Pooh suggestion. Winnie the Pooh says that when he is hungry and I used to say that when I was a youngyun.
ReplyDeleteHahaha that's awesome. My mom called me fuzzy bird and still does as I think I told all of you. I wouldn't have it any different.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was a really good experience!
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun this week with the hot weather :) Yesterday i went to Six Flags for my first time and when we went on the Bizarro it got stuck on the way up the hill and me and my friend where in the front. We were stuck for more than an hour. Finally they released us and let us walk down the stairs. That stunk because of the wicked hot weather we were stuck in.. but other than that it was a good day with like no line :)
ReplyDeleteMr. Phillips how are you doing??(: How is your summer? (I like how you changed up the background of this by the way) sorry I didn't reply sooner but hey better late than never right?! Have you done anything special lately? Hope your doing well!!(:
ReplyDeleteHi Ray. Summer has been crazy. Not playing baseball is weird but every weekend I have done cool stuff. Went to the white mountains twice, two best friends getting married, and now I am heading to the cape for three straight weekends. Playing a lot of golf and relaxing. How about you? What has been on your plate. It's great to hear from you and people have been using the blog more in the past week. Keep me posted please.
ReplyDeleteGrace thats a crazy story. Glad everything worked out. Six flags is awesome I'm jealous.
Just ran three miles. So ready for field hockey! Anyways... how's everyones summer going?(:
ReplyDeleteGood for you Dominique! I am running in a 5 mile race in two weeks down the cape. I'll let you know how that goes. Glad to here you are doing Well and staying active. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome and yes I would love to know how that goes( : good luck!!
ReplyDeleteThanks domininique I need to get on some training for it. Do you have preseason field hockey you are getting ready for?
ReplyDeleteHey Dom what HS you going too?
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Phillips! I've been doing those plometrics drills that you told me about and they seem to be really helping me get ready for basketball! I can already feel a difference when im playing basketball at home! Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd i can't believe that in about a month we are all going to be going to high school..!
Time flies everyone so enjoy each day. Unfortunately you can't get it back. That's awesome grace about the plyo's, I am glad you are working hard during the summer.mhey did you ever go see Winnie the pooh? How was it? If not tell everyone to get up and go see it. I am heading to the cape this weekend so everyone enjoy. Leave me some fun messages when I get back.
ReplyDeleteYeah the time really is flying! And no i haven't seen Winnie the Pooh yet :( i really want to though, it looks amazing! I'm thinking about going to see it this weekend a long with the Smurfs!
ReplyDeleteHave Fun in the Cape!
Hello everyone...hope everyone is enjoying their summer off. It is going by way to fast!!! Pretty cool to see all of you still checking the blog and keeping in touch.
ReplyDeleteHey Mr. Coonan. Good to see you poke your head in. Ahhhhh the life of a teacher in the summer. Decided to stay down cape an extra two days because I can. Going back Thursday for the road race. How is everyone doing. I need some updates here. Hope everyone as a great week.
ReplyDeletehi everyone!
ReplyDeletemr. phillips, mick and i were wondering any good workouts that we can do while sitting in front of the tv that could be for abs or bi/triceps.
Mr. coonan! how have you been?? a couple weeks ago i was working at my uncles houses that he's building in grafton (the ones really close to your house) and michaela and i swear we saw you driving by!
Man I have so many good ab workouts but they are really hard to describe. Easy ones are normal crunches, chin to ceiling keep shoulder blades off the ground. Bicycles sit with back straight hands on ground to support you just you butt on ground and move your legs in like your pedaling a bike, forwards and backwards, mason twist butt on ground legs and feet in air and fold your hands then alternate hitting the ground on either side of you, heals straight up to ceiling which you should be good at being dancers and lay on you back go up so your shoulder blades are off the ground a little for 20 sec then more then more with shoulder blades off the ground the whole time, scissors lay on back one leg heels to ceiling the other heel 3ish inches off ground and slowly keep switching each leg don't bend legs.
ReplyDeleteTriceps you can do dips just on ground where you can get like your walking like a lobster and bend your arms up and own so your slightly lifting your body weight feet stay on ground and butt shouldn't hot the floor, you can also use a chair with your feet on ground and butt slightly off chair keep hands on edge of chair legs straight bend arms so your butt goes close to ground and the up do as many reps as you can
For biceps just use light weightsor heavy if your jacked haha and do curls sorry not much for them
Oh one more ab one for obliques tough to describe, so you are on your side and the only hinge on the ground is the side of your foot and your forearm which should be under your shoulder for support, your body is straight and you lift you hip to the ceiling and down, it's a slight movement but they burn after a lot of reps.
Now I won't to apologize for those directions. So much easier to show then tell. Hopefully at least one of those is legible, let me know please.
Hey Marisa...I'm doing very well. It probably was me, drive by there all the time. How is everything with you and michaela? Having a good summer I hope!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Phillips and Mr. Coonan :) How are your vacations going? How was the cape Mr. Phillips?
ReplyDeleteI've spent most of my week getting ready for high school by getting books and such. I can't believe that in a few weeks it will be time to go back to school!
I've been getting ready for sports by running and playing field hockey, basketball, and lacrosse.
Well bye! :)
Hey grace...vacation is going great. Flying by, but enjoying it. Playing a lot of golf and heading to the cape in a week. Should be fun! That's awesome to see that you are getting ready for the upcoming seasons. Keep working!! Do your best and everything will work out!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Coonan! I'm glad your vacation is going well! I think this is the quickest the summer has ever gone by, well at least for me :) I hope you have fun in the Cape! I've never actually been to the Cape, but i think my sister is thinking about taking me and Catherine some time in the next couple of weeks. It sounds like a really fun place to go!.. unless you go during shark week ahah :)
ReplyDelete- And thank you. I've been doing my best to try to get ready for sports because every things so much bigger in high school!
I hope you are enjoying your vacation! :)
Hey ran the race in 41 min 23 sec. I was pumped with that for 5.25 miles considering I never run that far at once. Did anyone try those ab workouts. Very curious if they made sense. Now I must start tinking about the school year. Woooooooooo. I love the fall!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mr. Phillips!! That's a really good time and 5 miles seems like a lot of running!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the ab workouts yet, but i will definitely try them later today :)
Oh yeah, school starts in a couple weeks! Oh no! haha actually I'm really excited for high school and making new friends.
Hmhm and speaking of high school... I'm kinda having trouble deciding which fall sport to play. I want to play field hockey but i have a feeling that volleyball might be a better choice for me because of my height. I enjoy playing both but I have never played an organized league for volleyball. I know i really need to make a decision but I don't know aha.
Follow your heart grace. Either way your staying competitive and active, meeting new people, and if you don't like your decision you can change in the future. Whatever you do put your heart and soul into it so what get out of itbis fulfilling . Thanks for the congrats, 5 miles is a lot but it was worth it. And lastly funny story I went to six flags tuesday and I was too tall to go on bizarro, they actually told me I couldn't go on haha. Well hope to hear from you all soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Phillips (: I think I'm starting to lean more to volleyball.
ReplyDeleteAnd your welcome, I'm sure you felt really proud after finishing it.
And wahhh! Aha that must have been a real bummer.
So everyone hope your final two weeks are calm. The adrenaline will be flowing for sure. It still does for me in the weeks before a new beginning. Remember that it is normal and everyone else no Metternich how they seem on the outside is scared inside. Enjoy the rest of summer
ReplyDeleteMr.Phillips that's awesome i have never been to the white mountans... I am getting ready for fh tryouts bu im not a very good runner!! Haha butwe have to run a good amount at tryouts but im glad cause it will help me get in better shape(: hope to see you at nda(:
ReplyDeleteGood luck ray ray!! If you work as hard as you did for st.peters you are going to do great. Keep us posted!!
ReplyDeleteRay with your work ethic the sky is the limit. That is not an exaggeration. Work as hard as you can and I think you will be surprised at stat you can accomplish. I will be a NDA plenty so please tell me all about your games practice and class. If you have any questions as well do not hesitate to ask. Enjoy your last week of summer and see you soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Phillips & Mr. Coonan! Hope your summers were great! I went to Quabbin today and I was reminded to go back on the blog. What reminded me was the Smart Boards. They have them in literally all of the classrooms! And they had the one's where the screen is projected from the back and it's attached and hung to the wall, so if someone walks in front of it, its like when someone walks in front of a chalk-board! I think that would have been a good idea for you Mr. Phillips because of all the moving and projector troubles with trying to make it fit the projection to the smart board. Well I felt like telling you that. And it's really nice there. I feel like I am going to get lost, because the cafeteria is the size of two school gyms of SPCC. And it has a 3 story ceiling. There are too many hallways and it's very confusing. Well, I hope that everyone has a good year!
ReplyDeleteAndy that sounds awesome. I have changed my room design and plan on using my laptop this year to use with the smart board. This way I won't have to move the cart as much. Quabbin is a big public school which will be a different atmosphere then SPCC but you will do great if you work hard.
ReplyDeleteLast day of vacation for me andvwe are going out with a bang, hurricane Irene. Everyone stay safe and enjoy yourclast few days, 9th graders. Hard to believe isn't it. I wish you all the best of luck. But I heard a quote once that goes something like this, "it's funny thevpeople who work the hardest are usually the luckies."
ReplyDeleteTo all our former 8th graders,
ReplyDeleteBest of luck this year and in all you future endeavors. You were a class that only comes through every once in a while!!! You will be missed, but wherever you may be they are lucky to have you!! And remember, we are only right down the road from most of you so don' t hesitate to ask us for help if need be, or just to stop in and say hi. Good luck this year in 9th grade!!!
Thank you Mr. Phillips and Mr. Coonan! I hope you all had a great summer! I can't believe it is already over and that in a couple of days we will all be going to different schools with different people. I can't get over the fact that we arent going to be at st. peters on the first day of school! I was actually hoping Irene would cause the 1st day of school to be postponed to give us a little more time ahah but i dont think thats going to happen all we got was rain and wind!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely coming to visit sometime in September! (:
Grace same to you. Change isn't easy but in this case you are ready for the next phase of life. Take it on with a full head of steam. I can't wait to hear how you are doing in the future.
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Phillips and Mr. Coonan! Im sorry I haven't been on the blog for a while I've just been so busy. I hope you have a great school year this year and that you have great kids in your classes! I start school on wed and I am so nervous!! I spent a good hour crying to my mom because I'm so scared! But I know it will all work out... I hope. Im going to miss both of you so much this year and I don't know what I'm going to do without you guys. Who will be their to make fun of me and make me laugh? Well I'm off to pack my new backpack and reorganize it for the third time... Have a superb school year everyone and I want to hear all about your first days of high school!
ReplyDeleteYou will do great Marisa, but I can't lie it is a scary thing. I cried for three years to my parents to let me go to my home school not Holy Name. They never let me because they new it was better for e in the future, and guess what it was. Also, I am still best friends with the kids I was in 8th grade. I am the bet man in ones wedding in three weeks. Good luck and keep me posted on your experience. Remember you can always come and ask for help, or just get something off your mind. By the way I go back to school Wednesday and I am nervous too! Hahaha, that never changes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr. Coonan that means a lot and Mr. Phillips I tried out for varsity on monday made it to today and made it to tomorrow!!!! I hope I make varsity and thank you Mr. Coonan and Mr.Phillips for your support!(: I miss everyone and hope you all have a great school year. I am going back to school on September 9th so not for a while. But Mr.P I will probably need help science isn't my strongest subject!(:
ReplyDeleteLet me know about tryouts and extra help. I will be shooting around at the gym a bunch so I may see you. And trust me I know that notes dame doesn't go back until December and starts summer breakbin February so don't rub it in hahaha. Just kidding. Work hard and good luck.
ReplyDeleteMarisa, you are going to be great...being nervous is normal, I still get the butterflies before every first day. We are going to miss you guys at st. Peter's big time. I still can't believe that you and your sister will not be walking up the driveway to come see us...it has been a part of every day for a long time! Good luck tomorrow and make sure to keep us posted!!!
ReplyDeleteRay Ray, awesome news that you are doing so well with the tryouts( not that there was any doubt on our part)keep it up and enjoy the rest of your summer!!! Keep me posted on how you make out!!
Thankyou both!!! I will try my hardest thanks for the support!(: I will tell you tomorrow! Mr.P, I will probably see you around soon! Mr.C I hope to see you soon also! Good luck tomorrow at school(: Oh P.S. Mr.P we actually go back January and get out in February haha.
ReplyDelete*I will let you *know* tomorrow*
ReplyDeleteRay I don't doubt it! Good luck at tryouts!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Mr.P and Mr.C how was school?
ReplyDeleteIt was a good day but I am exhusted. I always forget the amount of energy it takes to do a school day. It is good to be back in a routine though. How was tryouts?
ReplyDeleteGood I made varsity!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good day....I agree with mr. P that I am exhausted...that is awesome to hear that you made varsity!!! Keep working, now you have to earn your playing time!!
ReplyDeleteRay congrats, it was not easy to keep my mouth shut but I had a feeling you would make it. Haha. No time to relax though, you are far better than someone who just makes varsity if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteThanks both of you I am going to work very hard and earn my spot on the team!!(:
ReplyDeleteMy first day of school was today and it was sooooo fun! I made new friends (: And i made the JV volleyball team here too. I miss SPCC and i plan on visiting as soon as i have a day off from sports. The only thing i didnt really like about today was the time i have to leave for my bus(6:05)but im sure ill get used to that EVENTUALLY (:
ReplyDeleteI hope your first days went well yesterday mr. phillips and mr. coonan! Oh and i apologize for my brother, we aren't at all a like when it comes to school...ahaha well have a good Friday!
Oh and CONGRATULATIONS RACHEL! I knew you would make varsity anyway! You will be playing my sister now, shes on varsity at SPM. And i will definetly be going to your games, well some of them. CONGRATS!!!!!

ReplyDeleteHappy labor day everyone! Nothing like a three day weekend after a short week. Hope everyone had a smooth first week and all you notre dame girls and saint johns boys enjoy the rest of your break!
ReplyDeleteSaint johns already went back, it's notre dame that doesn't go back until Christmas!!!

ReplyDeleteHey Mr. Phillips and Mr. Coonan! How's it going? Hey Mr. Phillips, come down to my house at any time. Let me know what time you will run on Sundays because I can be outside in one second. haha

. . . That part! I miss every1 a LOT! It's crazy. I don't know about any1 else, but SPCC was the BEST school I have EVER been 2. Still is. I hope 2 go 2 the Christmas Fair, Musical, & all that fun stuff.
Why hello my friends! So i started at WA last week and my first day was, well... FRIGHTENING!I got SO lost and couldn't find any of my classes. and I am pretty sure that all of the post grads are all at least 7 feet tall. Quite scary when your a wee little freshman trying to get your lunch!The morning was ruff but then I got used to it towards the afternoon and ended up having a great day!After that first day everything has been going very smoothly- besides me falling down the stairs this morning while going down to my locker and having my pinky bleed all over my biology book! haha! Anyways, the food is very good (very important in my book) and i really like all my teachers and classes. No one is like you two of course Mr. Coonan and Mr. Phillips, but they are all really nice. My favorite class so far is surprisingly algebra! I made a really good friend named Tori who is also a dancer and VERY nice whom i hang out with quite a bit. I am already getting bombarded with homework but i am managing. I really like how you have so much freedom there and can walk around wherever and do your homework during anytime. How is everything at spcc? did anything change? I miss everyone very much. Hey mr. Coonan? how is my buddy Taylor doing in 1st grade? i miss her! Talk to you fellas later!
ReplyDeleteWell Juliana I hope to see you soon as well and here all about your new challenges and the fun stuff you rid this summer. Are you still dancing after school in high school? How was your first week of school?
ReplyDeleteEmily SPCC is a special place and I m glad you realize that. I do everyday. You are always welcome back and I am glad you enjoyed your experience.
Michaela sounds like some clumsy stuff going on with you, haha! Sounds like your first week has been good. Know you will work hard and make tons of friends. I hope to see you soon but until then dominate the WA scene and watch out for the stairs!
Michaela; I'm glad 2 hear your liking it :D & I bet EVERY1 realized how special it was. I can personally say that SPCC is WAYY better then Holy Name.

ReplyDeleteHi everyone!!
ReplyDeleteHows high school going? And hows SPCC Mr. Coonan and Mr.phillips? I hope everything's going well... I know I'm enjoying SPM very much. I'm playing sports and I'm running for student council. I miss SPCC so much though and even more now than i did earlier because i had my first game today and while we were playing people were yelling Come on St.Peters and it reminded me of all the great times and memories i have...
And about my game, my team won (: We played shrewsbury high. It was such a good game, and i played the whole entire game which i really enjoyed. We won by 2 in overtime.
Just wanted to check in on everything (: I miss everyonee!
Good for you Grace! Keep up the good work. SPCC is doing well. New crop of 6th graders and some new students as well as the ones who have been there forever. Stay in touch please and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! NDA started today... FINALLY! hahaha. It wasn't too scary. It's kind of hard to get lost there, so that's always good. I'm not in any classes with anyone I know but there are tons of super nice girls. Obviously I would want to critique the food, but the line was way too long for me to get anything, which kind of makes me sad since I was looking forward to getting a muffin :( Oh well! I miss everyone! I will hopefully be visiting SPCC to torture my lovely cousin. Hope everything's going well there and that everyone's enjoying high school!
ReplyDeleteMichaela,
ReplyDeleteTaylor misses her big buddy more than you know. Every time someone comes to visit she hopes it is you....glad you are enjoying WA and getting used to all the work. Come visit soon.
JB,
Everything is going well so far. No real problems and everything has begun pretty smoothly. It's different but good. Hope all is well and we expect a visit soon.
Aoife,
Glad to hear your first day went well. You must have a vacation coming coming up soon now!! Maybe you can hit up the food line tomorrow, but if that is the worst part of today then it must of been good. Glad to see you came to visit, but make sure to come visit us again soon.
Hope everyone is doing great and keep us posted...we miss you all!
I accidentally click on your profile. Thought I'd let you know I went camping this weekend. Figured you would like that. The muffins were probably stale anyways and hope for continued success. Work hard everyone!
ReplyDeleteHeyy every1!!! Miss you guyss! I hope everything is going well. & ahaha poor Aoife ): & yeah the lines are SOSOSO big! It'z crazy. & I met one of the new kids in the 7th Grade at spcc, I believe. I hope they enjoy it just as much as we all did. I went on the school website yesterday 2 see all the special events because I want 2 go 2 the Christmas Fair & such(: I hope Mr.Coonan & Mr.Phillips & every else is doing well! Homework was not as much as I expected. I am happy about that. & Mr.Coonan MY MATH TEACHER IS JUST LIKE YOU! He talks about football & loves sports & he talks JUST LIKE YOU! So it's cool 2 actually have at least 1 fun teacher. & Mr.Phillips, I miss you're fun/funny moments. None of the teachers are like that. It's depressing ): No one does any of the stuff you & Mr.Coonan do. You both know how 2 make learning fun. & I miss that! Make sure 2 every1 I said Hi & I hope every1 is doing great.
ReplyDeleteHey everyone, how is freshman year treating you. A month in now I hope every is settled and working hard. I am already in the swing, caught my first cold and need more sleep, haha. Hope to see you all soon, if not pop in and update me on how your doing.
ReplyDeleteHey Mr.Phillips. It's going good! & I hope you feel better soooon! I will try 2 see if I can stop by for a visit tomorrow (: Get better Mr.Phillips. & I hope everyone is having fun at their school! Miss you all.
ReplyDeleteHey Mr. Phillips and Mr. Coonan what is going on? I miss you guys and everyone it is so weird walking into school and not seeing everyone from SPCC! But I love NDA and you guys definitely prepared me for it. I was so scared but I know most of the things they are teaching me... I am still not great with fractions though haha! Well enough about me... How are you guys doing? How is school? Did SPCC sports start up yet? Hope to come visit soon(:
ReplyDelete~Ray~
p.s. Mr.Phillips feel better soon! Mr. Coonan I miss your math teaching it was a lot easier to understand!!
p.s.s thanks for the support on field hockey!(:
Ray I love hearing all good things from you. Sports have all started and soccer is 2 and 0. It has been a good start. I actually will be coaching uv basketball at NDA this year. It will be sad to not be at SPCC but exciting to start a new challenge. Keep working hard in school and on the field and I am sure I will see you soon. Everyone else where have you gone?
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Phillips & Mr. Coonan (:
ReplyDeleteIts been a while since I've been on this and its definitely made me realize how much I miss St. Peters. How is everything? I am so glad I finally got to visit a couple weeks ago. It felt kind a emotional walking up those stairs again and pretty sad considering that I haven't kept in touch with a lot of the Class of '11. Hows school? How are the sports teams doing? Volleyball is doing really good this year up at SPM.. and I am so glad i made the decision to play that over Field Hockey! Well i hope everything is going well!
Grace it was great to see you and great to know you are enjoying your new challenges. I think it will always be nostalgic walking back into SPCC considering you spent so much time here and made so many friends. Keep me posted on everything and hope to see you again soon.
ReplyDeletemr phillips and mr. coonan.. hows it going long time no seeee... i was wondering if i could come practice with the team sometimes.. i have tryouts right after thanksgiving and i was hoping u could help me improve my skills a little?
ReplyDeleteHey Mr. Phillips, sorry im just getting back to you now but I go to spm now and yes, I did play fh this season and it was my best season so far.(: I was going through my pictures from the retreat at canobie and I have the best picture of you doing the peace sign!

ReplyDeleteHey Victor, how are tryouts? Hope day one went well. Control what you can control. How hard you work, your attitude, and how well you listen. I am here all the time and if you ever have question I wiould be more than happy to work on them with you or go over whatever you need. I am coaching at Notre Dame this year and Mr. Coonan has the boys here so if you want to talk either post something here or stop by school. Hope all is well and keep me posted on everything.
