Hello! My name is Holly Funkhouser and I attend Strasburg High School. I really enjoy running. Last year I ran Track and this year I'm doing Cross Country. I haven't been able to run a ton recently though, because my leg hates me. I enjoy singing and dancing (even though I'm awful at it). You'll learn quickly that I randomly burst into song sometimes. I'm also an officer in my FFA chapter and an officer on the SCA. I have a HUGE family. I have three older sisters and one younger brother. I also have a boat load of cousins, aunts, uncles, and well you get the picture; my family's big. I also really love reading and watching movies... I guess you could say I enjoy escaping the real world sometimes. I am be no means antisocial, though. With a huge family it's like against the law to be antisocial or something. So far I have really enjoyed MRGS and everyone who attends and I can't wait to see what else is in store. As far as technology goes, I guess I would really like some more experience with Excel and maybe some other programs that will be essential in college and the real world. Well okay, that's all I have. I hope you feel like you know me better now! Bye :)

Introduction

Hey, my name's Leila and I go to East Rock. I run track during the winter, play soccer in the spring, do hoodrat things with my friends over the summer, just kidding I mostly work, and during the fall I enjoy hiking and longboarding on golf courses. I love music, more than I should; some of my favorite groups are The Avett Brothers, Modest Mouse, Dave Matthews Band, Odd Future, RHCP, and well I could go on forever about the bands that I love. I have two brothers one older and one younger. My parents are Karen and Dave and I can't complain, they're a couple of good people.

I'd say I want to learn more about Prezi but I really don't like it. Other than that I'm pretty savy with Technology. I'm pretty darn good with the rest of the things having to do with the internet because I'm almost always on tumblr. Anyways, that's a pretty short summary of who I am. Looking forward to getting to work with you guys this year.

Introduction to Brianna E. Armentrout

      Hey, y'all! My name is Brianna Armentrout and I am a junior at Broadway High School (though y'all probably already figured that out.) I've been on the debate team since I foolishly accepted my 7th grade English teacher's invitation to do so, way back in 8th grade. I also enjoy Imprompu Speaking in Forensic tournaments. 

      I am really incompetent with technology. I can navigate my own laptop and some of the interweb, but managing that has taken me years and years and years...

      As far as learning about new technology, pretty much anything would be an improvement on what I currently know. I especially want to learn to navigate Excel spreadsheets better because I feel like that will really help me here at Gov school. 

      I look forward to these two incredible years here at MRGS. 

Introduction to Nicole Downey

Hey everyone!
My name is Nicole Downey, and I go to Harrisonburg High School. My two favorite things to do are run long distances and competition cheer. My schedule usually stays pretty filled between school, sports, and hanging out with friends. I am very close with my two older sisters, Meghan and Jenn, and I have a dog named Roxy. When it comes to technology, I'm definitely not an expert by any means, but I can usually figure most simple things out. The technology I use the most currently would be my iphone and computer for school, and that's about it. However, I think this blog will be really cool and a fun way to share ideas!

About Me

Hey everyone, it's Jessica the Jellyfish!

I am involved in many different things. I play clarinet and I take lessons in Winchester. I run cross country (but I'm not very fast at all!), I have played baseball then softball for many years, I'm in several clubs at my home school, and at home I have three honey bee colonies, twelve chickens, and a garden. I've also been in musical pit for three years (musical pit is the band in front of the stage at a play). I have three brothers and I live with my dad (I get to see my mom on weekends sometimes). My favorite week of the summer is Shark Week... I LOVE learning about the ocean!

I want to learn more about Prezi, Excel, and any other technology we will be using here at gov school. I've only been taught how to use Power Point and Word, so I have a limited technological perspective! Aside from technology, I'm also excited to learn how to present well, like the seniors do.

Introductory Post

Hey, people. My name is Graham Rebhun. I go to Harrisonburg High School. It's about 45 minutes away from Gov School, but I enjoy the bus rides. My favorite thing in the world is music. Any kind will do. I like a huge range of music from Mumpford and Sons, to Imagine Dragons, to Macklemore. I also enjoy acting. I do the One Act at our school every year. It's one of my favorite activities next to singing, and being awesome. If you don't already know this about me, I am a very loud person. In fact, I almost never shut up. It's a gift. And a curse. But mostly a curse. I also love being outdoors. Anytime, Anywhere.When it comes to technology, I'm not a super genius. I can work a computer, and understand the basics of the interwebs. However, I would love to learn how to use all of the multiple programs that Google has come up with. I like the idea that everything is connected in 1 account. I like the idea of this blog. I think this will definitely help in the sharing of ideas. I'm very interested in learning about the programs we're gonna use this year. I don't think that it will be too hard, but I don't know. I could be a lot stupider than I think. It would be nice to know how to use all of the new tech out there.
