Last week, Webb volleyball player Savanna Cespedes (‘22) was considered for the Orange County Register’s Southern California Girls Athlete of the Week. Savanna was one out of seven candidates, six of them volleyball players like herself, and one golf player. Beginning on Wednesday, October 31st, members of the sophomore class forwarded emails to STAS. The emails were rallying cries for Webb students vote for Savanna on the online poll. Everyone was able to vote multiple times, and Savanna’s support from Webb alone was reflected in the results. Savanna won with 2501 votes, carrying 51.45%. Her runner up only had 22.18%. So if you see Savanna around, congratulate our very own SoCal Athlete of the Week!

About the Contributor
Nichola Monroe, Chief Editor of Features
If you’re looking for a Webb big sister, Nichola Monroe (‘22) is the person for you. An experienced co-chair of the VWS dorm prefect council, she is always looking for ways to lend her knowledge to newer students both in the dorm and outside. As a returning member of the Webb Canyon Chronicle and this year’s Chief Editor of Features, she is excited to write engaging articles, share her journalism experiences, and help others thrive. Over this last summer, Nichola fostered her leadership skills at a summer camp in Maine. She lived in a cabin with younger girls and taught them how to make ceramics and jewelry, sewing, and other important life skills. Although Nichola usually resides in Dana Point, she is currently living at Webb and hopes to initiate new dorm activities for other boarders in Jameson to enjoy. Also an activist, Nichola cares deeply about current issues like climate change and sustainability. When she’s not helping other people, you can most likely find her outdoors, whether it's dancing, walking her dog at the beach, knitting under a tree, or simply just doing somersaults in front of her dorm.
