Springfest!

Today is Springfest at Fontbonne. I spent most of today helping the fashion merchandising promotions class with their fashion show. I did odd jobs and helped dress models. Although I was backstage for most of the show, I think it was pretty amazing! I know I have a lot to live up to when I’m in the class next year!

After the fashion show I went and mingled with some of the incoming freshman for next year, and watched the Live Band Karaoke. After a brief dinner break, I’m about to go back for the concert tonight. Ryan Cabrera and Tyler Hilton are performing. I have never heard any of their music, but it will still be an experience!

It’s hard to believe that there’s only a couple more weeks left until summer. I have so much to do until then. It’s a little overwhelming. It will sure be nice when summer arrives and I don’t have to worry about homework or studying! I’m hoping for warm summer weather soon. I just have to make it until May 13th!

Thanks for reading..

We’re Getting Close!

It’s weird that we’re so rapidly reaching the end of the school year. I can’t believe that we will be out of school a mere week from today!

Though this entire school year has been a great experience, I’d have to say that I’ve been having the most fun in the past few months. I’ve made a lot of great friends from the biology department this semester, and, though our rendition of “hanging out” usually involves studying, we did manage to have some fun. The BSO was definitely more active this semester than last; we took a field trip to the Butterfly House, and we had more random meetings, which are always very fun. Also, I, along with two of my very good friends, Dillon and Steph (both of whom are bio majors) finally took our unofficial field trip to the zoo that we had been talking about for a long time. While we were there, we were able to feed the stingrays and pet the sharks that had just arrived for their summer stay in Saint Louis.

Springfest, which was yesterday, also offered a lot of fun. The BSO sponsored a dunk tank in order to fund our gorilla adoptions. A few biology majors (including me!) got into the tank, and we even got three of our biology professors (Dr. Rayhel, Dr. Paine-Saunders, and Dr. Truong) to get in as well. Let’s just say that the straight-from-the-hose water was quite refreshing!

So, as we enter the ever-dreaded exam week, we’ll have some fun memories to look back on and a whole summer to look forward to.

Spirit Week!

by Marielle on May 9, 2011

in Campus Community,Extracurricular,Organizations, Activities & Events

One thing that I absolutely loved about high school was Spirit Week. The themed dress days, the pep rally, and of course, the Homecoming dance to wrap it up. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Fontbonne has a Spirit Week, too!

Of course, this being college, things are a little different. The activities are mostly things like a kickball tournament, volleyball game, or window painting. There aren’t any specific themed dress days (although there was a Cinco de Mayo party!) but one thing remains the same – the big finale!

Friday was the most exciting day of the week – Springfest! There were games and activities all day, and a live concert in the evening! It was great. SO much better than high school. ;)

The Spirit of Fontbonne

by Alumni Posts on May 14, 2010

Spirit Week was absolutely awesome this year. I felt that the week brought several students together through the various events that were happening around campus. I had a great time playing water balloon volleyball against some of my friends in the meadow. I also enjoyed the limbo competition as well as going to the women’s softball games during the week. The week had a great atmosphere of excitement and unity. On Friday, Springfest ran very smoothly even though it was moved to the gymnasium due to rain.

Everyone made the most of Springfest in the gym with all of the countless enjoyable activities. There was a dancing area, inflatable bowling, Hawaiian punch pong, ground canoeing, and much, much more. I worked at the Biological Sciences Organization booth during the event. We had a contest in which students would have to toss a penny into a cup in order to win a goldfish. There were numerous winners who left happily with their new pets.

On Friday night, Mr. Fontbonne was held as an event in the DSAC Caf’. TJ Eggleston, Chris Luckett, and I competed for first place, displaying our gifts of spirit, talent, hoola-hooping, and knowledge of Fontbonne University. In a hard-fought competition, I was voted as Mr. Fontbonne. It was quite an honor. The other two contestants were wonderful and had me laughing the majority of the night with their acts. Overall, the week was fun, united us as students, and gave us time to recognize the importance of our school.

Spirit Week Into Springfest

by Alumni Posts April 21, 2010

Finally, it’s Spirit Week! While this week consists mostly of giveaways and games, for me, it’s kind of a relief. Why? Well, after Friday, FAB is done with events for the year—so my work load lightens a bit! Don’t get me wrong—I’m in love with FAB and the work I do for marketing their events, [...]

Andrew- See You There!

by fontbonneuniversity April 24, 2009

There’s a growing excitement on campus for the upcoming event of Springfest. Those who have experienced it in past years, those students who have been here for more years than myself—it’s really incredible to think I’ve almost, and yet only, been here a year—are anticipating this event. Except, I know absolutely nothing about Springfest! So [...]

Sarah- Dunking Booth for R.A.s

by fontbonneuniversity April 24, 2009

My favorite Springfest memory would be the dunking booth.  Wouldn’t you love to see your Resident Assistant dunked in a huge pool of water?  I know I would and I DID.  It was awesome, because if I was mad at any R. A. I could take it out in the tank!  Honestly, I wasn’t too [...]
