Luci Williams

My favorite memory from being on the cross country team is when I first tried the Dutch Oven Bakery after the state meet in 8th grade. Being with the older kids on the team was so fun for me. loved getting to buy candy, and had so much fun with my friends after the race.

What is your favorite part of being at Briarwood?

My favorite part of being at Briarwood is how close I am with my friends after spending so much time with them. Because classes are so small, we have a lot of fun while we learn.

What do you enjoy outside of school?

love to watch movies with my friends, read, and take naps outside of school. I also love to drink coffee with my family.

Lynley Newdome

What has been your favorite memory from participating in your sport/activity? In cheer was up in a stunt and had to preform motions, but in the air I totally blanked and made up random body movements-it was pretty embarrassing.
