Immaculate Heart students toast their alumna By Billy Taylor Students at Immaculate Heart celebrated last month the wedding of what is perhaps the school’s most famous alumna: Meghan Markle. The high school and middle school students gathered on the campus quad four days before the May 19 wedding to toast Markle, not only for her upcoming nuptials to Britain’s Prince Harry, but also for her dedication to service. Markle graduated from the all-girls school in 1999. “The idea that someone like her, who has had an upbringing so similar to ours, will now be able to voice her concerns on a global platform as an internationally recognized figure is a story that impacts
so many young women, especially the young women at our school,” student body president Mia Speier told the crowd. Together, the students raised glasses of lemonade. In addition to the toast, students celebrated the occasion by singing together the words of “Take on the World” by Sabrina Carpenter while dancing side-by-side. The celebrations continued in the early morning of May 19, when Immaculate Heart opened its auditorium at 3:30 a.m. for a live viewing party of the Royal wedding. More than 150 students and family members, as well as a handful of television news crews, arrived at the school in the early morning hours to stake out prime viewing spots. (Please turn to page 13)
