“I would also tell her to take more breaks because she sometimes overworks herself and she needs to learn to take more breaks and that there is a time to work and a time for play.” – junior Helena Panek
“She is so cool and fun to be around, I know I might be biased but what other moms stand at concert barricades and in mosh pits with their kids?!

She’s literally done both of those things in the past year, and it’s so cool to get to experience some of my favorite memories with her!” – sophomore Layla Topete
“She loves dye-ing her hair and she’s always so colorful. Super bright person and sweet.” – senior Amber Arias
“She is very giving/nurturing (we both tend to “mother” people we care about). One example of this is that she always brings a bunch of snacks for the track team and makes food special for my friends when they come over along with many other things.” – junior Payton LeFevers
Just because Mother’s Day has passed, does not mean we can not remind them every day of how grateful and loved we are to have them. Go give your mom a hug.
