Letter from the editors 2019 marks the 20-year anniversary since Juan Diego Catholic High School first opened its doors. In those two decades we have all become a part of the Juan Diego family. No matter how long each of us have been here, we have all witnessed change within this community. The Bloom Issue focuses on the changes around the school as well as over time and throughout the seasons of the year. This issue features student “lifers�, staff who have been here since the beginning, or in some cases have returned since graduating, and the overall theme of change. We hope you enjoy the Bloom Issue - The Speaking Eagle Staff

STUDENTS, TO ALUMNI, TO STAFF
Juan Diego has many students who bloomed into faculty Tana Vea ‘10 Tana Vea is one of the most loved and well known teachers since he has being here since 2014, a P.E. teacher, but also being as fun and goofy as any other student. Tana has appeared in a Speaking Eagle TV clip where he was brave enough to let students dye his hair school colors. “I still feel like a student most times here at JD,” Tana said. “Even though I graduated in 2010, when I started working here in 2014 I felt like I was a senior just the year before.” No matter the class someone has had with Tana, or even if they haven’t, he treats each and every student as a friend and an equal. He has become much more sympathetic towards students, especially those who have taken it upon themselves to challenge them with AP classes. “When I went to school here,” Tana continued, “we went to school, went to practice, hung out with friends and did homework if we had any. Now I feel like the kids come to school, do their homework at school, go to their specific practice or game, do their homework at games, go home and do more homework until late in the night.” Tana is living history here at Juan Diego.
Nathan Tack ‘12 Nathan Tack has been part of the administration at Juan Diego for two years now, but was a student back in 2012 and during his time he was his class president. “I would say it has something to do with knowing what their doing,” Tack said, “knowing what shoes their in and knowing what experiences their feeling because I’ve been there done that.” Many Students even joke about what Mr Tack even does here. “Being a faculty member is a whole different experience.. I think I get to make school fun for people,” Tack continued, “Dr Colosimo jokes my job is the director of fun and it’s the department of one.” Many students enjoy going to the pep rally, and through his experiences of being a student they are some of the most fun we have here at Juan Diego.

Ms. Paige Cruz came in 2017 and subbed for Mrs. Fankhauser’s maternity leave, and now she’s here permanently. Since 2017 she has coached the softball team, and was a player during her time here. “The difference between being a player and a coach has a lot to do with the aspect of the game,” Cruz said, “The way a coach experiences the game is completely different than how a player does. As a player you are part of a team, as a coach you are leading a team.” Coming from a player to coach probably isn’t an easy transition, but she is able to give her players insight on how to do a certain play, and how to read pitcher. “As much as I love being a teacher, I really miss being able to only be a student and only having the responsibilities that came with that. I only had to go to class then go to practice. It was simplistic and that was my only job.” A similar transition is becoming a teacher instead of a student. Being a student can be stressful, but we overlook that so can being a teacher.

Poetry is art The Forgetting By McKenzie Maser Diligently Recorded in books Is their history However altered it may be Recorded and guarded are memories but time passes They’ll forget and only your book holds answers Lose your book and you’re forgotten One remembers She will never forget She’ll remember what no one else can Watching and waiting Restless she’ll become Looking for answers hidden away Unlocking passages Long forgotten Slowly the fog will lift The answer was there All along In the open for all to see With their twinning branches and blooming buds The trees hold the secret but they’ll bloom and you’ll forget Only she’ll find the guarded secret
Anecdote of the Rose by Lindsey Holly I see a rose sprout from the earth And a beauty it was, there in the ground It makes a mundane, complacent building One I’ve seen before The building suddenly fills with people Yet it is still filled with silence Ahead stands a bountiful cross Near my side sits a warming face His teeth burst into a familiar grin One I have not seen for a while I wrap my arms around the man And once again I feel at home

The Starry Night By Abby Blacket I sit outside in the crisp night air, Watching the quiet town down below. Everything is so peaceful, With no sound to disturb the silence. The sky is beautiful tonight, And the stars are shining bright. With few clouds in the sky, I sit and stare at the constellations. The clouds swirl throughout the sky, Almost as if they are ocean waves. The stars shine bright yellow and white, With the crescent moon looming above. The sky is mixed with shades of blue, Creating the perfect night sky. I watch the stars shining bright, And dream of the heavens above.
Everyone is Here! by Carson Bird Assembled from each nook and cranny Fighters line up for an ultimate bout Jumping into the chaos A culmination of colors, A plethora of personalities Veterans return nearly one and the same While Newcomers are typically to blame They all take their spots and roles to play Nothing has seemed this glorious But now their fantasy is ours Colors weave into a spire of flame Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed Bear this torch against the cold of the night Search your soul and reawaken the undying light
Midnight by Sienna Martinez-Huff As the tree sways back and forth along The shore of the lake Water runs rapidly down the river The dark and gloomy Sky is barely lit by the Twinkling stars Observing shooting stars Tree branches colliding Multiple stars in the sky Projecting on the lake Dark blue calm Water whipples throughout the night In the freezing water We admire the stars in the Dark gloomy night A rope swing attached to the tree Hanging above the lake Moonlight shines through the clouds in the sky The silhouette of the mountains stands against the sky Water in the river runs north of the mountain Lakes shape is equivalent to a heart Constellations creates swirlings patterns of stars He sits beneath trees hanging vines In dark shadows of the cluster of trees Darkness overcomes the light of the moon Misty rain starts to fall from the sky As he climbs up the tree Jumps into the water To admire the starry night sky There we were both in the lake The lake as cold as the Dark night sky The light of the stars In sky makes his face clear in the night Water washes up against the shore Cashing against the tree stumps The shining sky and the frigid lake holds all our summer memories In the darkness of our hearts in the water deep and clear Tree limbs reach towards the stars counting down the number of days til summer’s end

Fashion Trends What goes around, comes around.
Fashion is cyclical, just like the blossoming of new flowers every spring. Once the flowers wilt and the leaves change, we know they are sure to grow back again and once fashion trends die out, it has been proven that most are likely to make a comeback sooner or later. Most of us have heard our parents mention that they once wore the same crop tops or Dr. Martens as us when they were our age and we’ve all ignored their comments because our parents were never as trendy as we like to think we are. However, even though we like to think our clothing looks far different from what our parents wore, it is definitely inspired by trends mostly from the 90’s. If you thought you were starting a trend by wearing a bright, colorblocked windbreaker, you are sadly mistaken. You are simply repeating the cycle of trends that is bound to happen nearly every decade or two. The list could go on and on, but in particular, neon colored clothing, babydoll dresses, tiny colored sunglasses, crop tops, fanny packs, scrunchies and even bike shorts are not new to the fashion scene. We’ve simply revamped the popular clothing and accessories to fit our generation, meaning that even though “mom jeans” have cycled back, we do not dress exactly the same as our parents did. Our clothing and accessories have gotten a major upgrade compared to what people used to wear. Instead of wearing bike shorts underneath an oversized, grungy sweatshirt, “influencers” are constantly spotted wearing bright spandex sets that are now both fashionable and functional. Even scrunchies have changed some; they now come in thousands of prints rather than only plain colors. In addition, fanny packs have made such a big comeback that even high end brands such as Gucci, Chanel and Balenciaga are selling designer “belt bags”, as they like to call them. The recent resurgence of once popular trends goes to show that just like the spring flowers have the drab rain to thank for their beauty, we owe our bright and flashy outfits and accessories to the grungy, duller looking wardrobes of the decades past.

Talented Teachers JD faculty shows off their special skills
Ms. Hester is great educator, as well as baker. “Baking is like therapy for me, I am focused on what I am making and not what I may feeling or worrying about in the moment,” Hester said. “It’s also great stress relief! I love to try new recipies and it makes me feel good to share my food with people,” Hester continued. Often times, Ms. Hester brings in treats to share wth the faculty as well as her mentor group. Her grandmother taught her to bake at a young age. “I spent at least a month each summer with my grandparents, and we cooked and baked a lot,” Hester said. “The first thing she taught me to make was ice cream sandwiches, that my family still asks for every summer,” she continued. Her favorite treats to make are cookies and brownies, while her least favorite to make are cakes. “It looks good, but takes a lot of time and patience,” Hester said.

Ms. Bernards, one of the schools biology experts, it is only fitting that her special talent correlates to science. “I found I could stack and catch pennies on my elbow after watching an episode of ZOOM, on PBS when I was younger,” Bernards said. “The highest number I know I can catch is 18, but maybe I can do more now,” Bernards continued. “All you need to do is let your hand rest near your head, then with the other arm, you stack pennies on your elbow. Then you swing your hand forward quickly to catch the pennies before they fall,” she explained. Along with her scientific talents, Bernards can make rosaries, as well as recite the alphabet backwards, in about six seconds.
You may know Mr. Alex, the Earth Science teacher who rides his bike to school and drinks kombucha, and has a special talent and interest for music, which he has showcased in two of the school’s musical productions (pictured on the left in a production of Guys And Dolls as Arvide Abernathy). “For years growing up, I asked for a set of drums, but I never got them,” Mr. Alex said. “When I was a sophomore in college, my mom bought me a cheap Yamaha guitar instead of a drum set, that I still have,” Alex continued. “So, I decided to give it a shot, and it was the first instrument I played,” he said. He learned to play through his friends and his own teaching. “I was able to practice quite a bit on rainy days when I was a lifeguard during summers home from college,” Alex said. Mr. Alex loves playing music because he always hears it in his head, and playing the guitar is a chance to quiet it by turning it into music. “It’s kind of a zen thing” Alex said. “My favorite thing about playing the guitar is sitting on the back porch, with a beverage, strumming, and singing. I think my chickens like it,” Alex finished.

Gorgeous Green Gardens Red Butte Gardens In SLC is a beautiful place throughout the year. If you’re looking for beautiful flowers, an incredible view, or even just a place to walk around and relax, look no further than Red Butte Gardens in Salt Lake City. It is a very family-friendly place and they host many activities, including flower competitions, art showcases, and even concerts. These events are not all, though, as they have many other ways to get involved with the gardening. For example, Red Butte allows volunteers to come into the gardens not only to work, but to learn about things such as horticulture (a fancy word for gardening), take nature tours, complete community service, and even volunteer for seasonal events. These events include seasonal events, plant showcases, art exhibits, and many more. If you don’t want to volunteer, you can pay for various classes and workshops that are offered separately for adults and children. These classes include cooking, drawing, and even just learning about the benefits of different plants that are easy to grow.
12
The children’s camps are different from the adult classes, but are still very educational. They learn in the gardens about things such as Utah’s history, animal and bug life, and many other various things that pertain to nature and the gardens. Red Butte also holds plant sales fairly often and the plants sold are beautiful, just like the ones within the gardens. The concerts held here are also amazing and many good artists show up to play. It is a very laid back venue and the crowds are often very positive. Notable artists coming to perform this summer include Little Feat, Steve Miller Band, and the Utah Symphony. The best part of Red Butte is in the name; its diverse gardens are extremely noteworthy. Hundreds of types of flowers are on display in the springtime. You will find nearly everything, from cacti in the water conserving garden to orchids in the regular garden. Red Butte Gardens is a place of extreme beauty and offers a setting in which people of all ages can learn and enjoy spare time.

New ‘Kids’ in the Valley It’s baby animal season on the farm and at the zoo - take a look.
The spring and summertime are full of new changes and surprises, and at the zoo this often means baby animals, and what’s better than a newborn animal? There are spots all over the Utah Valley that have baby animals to visit: the Utah Hogle Zoo, This Is The Place Heritage Park, and Wheeler Farm, are just a few. Whether they are pigs, goats, chicks, or rabbits, these baby animals are almost always adorable so why not see them as they are now?
Pigs are very intelligent animals, learn their names from their mothers call, and will run when they hear their voice. When sleeping, piglets sleep nose to nose and dream like humans do. In Chinese zodiac, the pig is the last of the twelve animals and represent fortune, honesty, and happiness.
14
Did you know that baby goats are called kids? The goats develop for five months before being born, and most commonly arrive as twins though sometimes just a single, and even triplets. Within minutes of being born, goats learn to stand and when they are just a week old they can climb and jump.
Did you know there are over one billion sheep in the world, with the majority of them being in China? Baby sheep are called lambs, while females are called ewes, and males are known as rams. Sheep’s eyesight is so good they don’t even have to turn their heads.
When rabbits are born, their eyes are closed and they have no fur. Rabbits have the average lifespan of about ten years, and females can give birth to up to 1,000 babies. These young rabbits are called kits or kittens, and they live in groups. Chicks can take up to 21 days to hatch, and are the most abundant bird on earth, with over 25 million of them all over the world.

The Real Dr. Colosimo Before the Soaring Eagle, he was a Bulldog.
Dave Brunetti and Dr. Colosimo during their Judge Memorial days.
Dr. Galey Colosimo is known for many things at Juan Diego, such as standing ovations and most recently, shaking hands web to web, but most students don’t know the true Dr. Colosimo. After 20 years of working at Juan Diego, it’s time students learn who the principal of Juan Diego truly is. Dr. Colosimo has always gone to a Catholic school, from elementary school through his graduate degrees. “Dr. Colosimo always talks about his education at Kearns-Saint Ann Catholic School,” his brother Mr. John Colosimo said, “I do too. We went through Kearns-Saint Ann Catholic School, where the Sisters of the Incarnate Word were our teachers. We had nuns that came from Ireland to Utah to teach at a Catholic school. Galey always leans on the education of the nuns and what
18
they believed it should be.” Colosimo said. After attending KSA for elementary and middle, he was a Judge Memorial Bulldog in high school, and went to University of San Francisco, a Jesuit school, for college. During summers, Dr. C enjoys time away from JD just as much as any of his students, and one of his favorite activities is traveling, in Europe in particular. “My favorite place in Europe,because of my heritage, is Rome,” Dr. Colosimo said. “My mother and father both immigrated from Rome and I’m a full-blooded Italian. So it’s just in me for the food and the culture. It’s the center of Catholicism and there’s the Vatican. So much of who I am goes back to Rome.” Dr. Colosimo has also spent time traveling to Paris and Amsterdam as well.
Dr Colosimo and his daughter in Rome.
But during the school year, his focus is entirely on the Juan Diego community, in all its forms. “Beyond what students see of him in the halls, during reading or at Mass, Dr. Colosimo attends as many sports, academic and fine arts activities as he can,” director of Campus Life Dave Brunetti said. “He spends a great deal of time educating himself on the best practices in education around the country as well as continually looking for ways to improve Juan Diego. Besides these things, he always makes himself available to listen to any and all who feel a need to speak to the principal about any issue.”
Our principal Dr. Colosimo is just like the rest of us in many ways. What makes him stand out is his passion about Juan Diego Catholic High School and all of our successes. Many students really do take Dr Colosimo for granted, but what we don’t realize is that he has gone through some of the same experiences we have. Without his guidance, wisdom, and vision for Juan Diego, the school would not be what we know and love about it today.

Goodbye mrs. jones
Juan Diego role model and teacher is retiring after 26 years of teaching.
Mrs. Jones has been an amazing part of our Juan Diego family for quite a while now. She is always willing to help a student out, whether that’s going over their grades or giving them a snack when they’re hungry. Mrs. Jones came to Juan Diego after teaching at public schools. She has taught Geography as well as German at different schools but her true passion is for English. She chose to teach high school because she loves the kids and says they help her stay feeling young and likely. On her free time Mrs. Jones loves to read. Her love for books is what has lead her to teaching english full time. When she is not reading she is either practicing the piano or organ. She plays for her church and says that her relationship with God and her family brings the most joy into her life.
20
At the thought of leaving Juan Diego Mrs. Jones said, “I’m going to miss the students, I love the subject matter but I love the kids more.” She came from public schools and loved the change she saw at Juan Diego compared to the other schools. She loves that students truly want to learn and that she can share her knowledge with them. Mrs. Jones has decided to retire this year so that she will be retiring with her husband. “My Husband is retiring in May and we decided we might as well go out together and do some things we have always wanted to do.” said Jones. She is considering serving an LDS mission with her husband or else traveling Asia. Mrs. Jones will be missed. She is truly loved here by students and staff and has impacted many people’s lives greatly. “Thanks for the memories and I’ll miss you all.”

The longest standing teachers at JD reflect on their time at the school. Mr. Sluga
My 10 plus years at Juan Diego have shaped me into a better teacher, department chair, and coworker but more importantly I have become a better person, husband, father, and son. Through all my failures I have been supported and allowed to grow and my success has been celebrated. Juan Diego has provided a loving community that is con-
stantly evolving, growing, and improving. On the other hand, the principles of an inclusive education, catholic economics, and Christian values remain the core of our school. One of the best parts of my time at Juan Diego is building relationships with students, teachers, and administration. Those opportunities to build relationships will lead to lifelong friendships.
Dr. Celestino

I started teaching at Juan Diego in 2006 and in the almost thirteen years that I’ve been here, no two years have been the same. For example, I think we’ve had at least six different bell schedules in that time and three different versions of a reading program. But you can’t grow if you don’t change. This school is willing to try new things and is always striving to be better. If someone has an idea for a way to improve, the administration
will listen. A lot of the things we’ve tried have been massive successes. Some examples: the Peer ministry program, the Academy of Sciences, the math curriculum, the Marching Band, the Academy of Fine Arts, Bring your own Device, Kairos, and yes the Reading program.. Some schools are exactly the same today as they were 20 years ago. Juan Diego isn’t even the same as it was two years ago; it’s better!
This is my 14th year teaching dance at Juan Diego. I love teaching here! I really enjoy the community of this campus and the diversity of the students and faculty at the school. I find that Juan Diego has so much to offer the students. I love that we teach to the whole person and really get to know our students. Juan Diego gives me the freedom to teach how I want and trusts that I know my art. Some favorite memories include: Crazy for You in 2011 was one of my absolute favorite
musicals! Succeeding in putting together my first ever Dance Concert in the winter of 2005! I remember being so incredibly overwhelmed that I just broke down and cried while talking with Dance Company. Working with and helping the The Invisible Children campaign. Choreographing in the dance studio! I love seeing students faces when they get a certain step or movement. Or when they come off the stage and are so excited about dance and how it feels to perform.
JD has been my family for the last 15 years. It’s been a privilege to teach so many dedicated and talented students. Some students I have never seen again, but several others have come back to see me or have kept in touch in one way or another. Every time I hear good news about a former student, it fills my heart with joy and excitement. It is great to know that in one way or another, I have been a small part of their life. Juan
Diego has provided me with the opportunity to expand my skills as a teacher of a world language. To me, it is a wonderful opportunity to discover a new language and culture, to compare a new language with your own, to make lasting relationships, and best of all, to have something that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Why not do it at one of the best schools in the country, JDCHS!

Lifers At Juan diego Growing from Kindergarten to Senior Year
7,300 - That is the number of days Juan Diego Catholic High School has been open. Over the past 20 years the Juan Diego community has grown through thick and thin. From Friday night football games to two decades of homecoming dances, we have seen a multitude of students come and go. All of these students were part of something special. They were part of a community that keeps on growing. People that have grown through every year of their life at Skaggs Catholic Center are called “lifers.” This is a small group of individuals who began in Kindergarten and have grown through the elementary, middle, and high school. They have faced all the challenges this community give you and made them amazing individuals who will be ready to succeed in life after high school. Hailey Anderson is a senior here at Juan Diego. She started here at five years old and now she is seventeen and graduating this year. “The Skaggs Catholic Center has become a big part of my life.” Anderson said. “Going through all twelve grades gave her some of the best friendships she has ever had, especially with other lifers.” Now that she is graduating in a couple of months she is going to miss the friendships she has made here. “One thing I’ll miss here are the friendships I’ve made here” Anderson explained, “The friendships made here are special. At Juan Diego we know each other as their true person. We see each other for who we are. We are a little family.” Anderson finished. Mallory Deutsch is a junior. She has spent fourteen years of her life here and she has grown through every grade here. “I’ve grown for the better here,” Deutsch said, “I’ve met some of the best people I know here and have had so many people and experiences that have made a huge impact on my life.” Deutsch continued. To her the people she has met here have made her experience so much better and have shown her how to grow as a person. “I think I will miss it because it is where I have grown up and the only school I’ve known and it goes by so fast.” Deutsch finished. Payton Bouwhuis is a sophomore. To him growing up at this school had its challenges, but is also had its rewards. “It has always made me work harder and I am grateful for that.” he continued. For everyone being at this school has it challenges. Classes, extracurriculars, personal life… etc. “The hardest thing about being on campus is probably the academics” he said, “Once again, they are always pushing us to do our best, which is good long term, but is challenging in the present.” Bouwhuis finished. Jack Jones is a freshman. Over the past nine years Jack has grown up through the community. “Skaggs Catholic Center has changed me by showing me how to be a better person and live a full life.” Jones said. Jack has also been involved in sports over all of his years here. The sports and the community are things he loves the most here. “The best part about being here has been the multiple sports they have and the great people you meet.” He concluded. Being apart of the Juan Diego community is such an amazing thing to be apart of. You will always have something huge to be apart of and you will alway remember your days at this school. Lifers will always have a special bond and they are great examples of being a true Juan Diego student.

Bloomin’ Macarons
If you have the time, rose water macarons are completely worth it. Buttercream filling ingredients: 4 cups powdered sugar 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 cup milk 1/2 tsp rose water 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/3 cup soft butter
Macaron Shell Ingredients: 3 egg whites 1/4 cup of sugar 2 cups powdered sugar 1 cup almond flour Pinch of salt 1/4 tsp cream of tartar 1 1/2 tsp rose water Red or pink food coloring
Directions:
We started out by preheating the oven to 300 degrees. You could honestly wait until you have piped your macarons but we did it first. After that we mixed the egg whites and sugar and put it in the mixer on the highest setting for about ten minutes. We added rose water. Then sifted the flour and powdered sugar twice just to be sure nothing chunked up in between. After we folded the flour and sugar into the egg whites, this part was very specific. If you mess up it will ruin all your previous work. We poured have the batter into a piping bag than mixed the food coloring in the other half and piped. We drew circles on the wax paper and then piped the macaroons on. Then we let the macarons sit for 30 minutes and made the buttercream frosting. We honestly just threw all the ingredients in the mixer and mixed it until it was all combined. We baked the macarons for seven minutes then turned the pan in the oven and baked for seven more. We let them cool and peeled the shells off with and buttered spatula. Frosted the centers and called it good.

Majority A’s-
Your results...
You will have an actual life and be self dependent. You will have a stable job and be making money. Keep doing you, you’re doing great.
Majority B’s-
Everyone around you will thinks you’re doing great but you’re not quite there. You’ll be stuck in a routine that you are tired of. Change up what you’re doing and try something new.
Majority C’s-
You’ll probably be going through a midlife crisis at this point. You either peaked in high school and couldn’t ever truly get over it or you got lazy in college. It will be a good time for you to invest in something that makes you happy.
Majority D’s-
You relied on the people around you to take care of you too much. You’re probably still single living in your parents basement unemployed. You need to step up and start taking responsibility for yourself and your circumstances.
