With every incoming school year, a new wave of
freshmen enter Blue Valley, all filled with anticipation and expectations for their first semester in high school.

So, what are they excited about? What are they planning on doing?

Freshman Devin Splittorff personally has a lot of goals for her BV career, especially ones revolving around sports.

“I am planning on playing basketball and softball,”
Splittorff said.

On the other hand, Splittorff also is apprehensive to
go into Blue Valley.

“I am a little scared,” she said. “There is more
homework in high school, and there will be people I don’t know.”

This seems to be common thread in incoming freshmen as Hannah Marshall is also worried about homework management.

“[I’m most scared about] not having time to do homework,” Marshall said.

However she doesn’t seem to be frightened by the classes or new people as she said she’s “more excited than nervous.”

Both Splittorff and Marshall also have extracurriculars on their mind, ready to dive into new territory as well as continuing clubs they did previously.

“Tri-M and Spanish [Club] seem interesting,” Marshall said. “I would like to join FCA since I have done it all through middle school.”

Beyond getting involved in the school community, Splittorff said she has also received advice on getting through the transition to high school.

“[I was] told to create study habits to prepare for tests and to stay organized,” Splittorff said.
