Christ Lutheran’s Exemplary Advisory Program
Each of Christ Lutheran’s junior high students is paired with a teacher or staff member as a 7th grader. The adult mentors them for the 2 years of junior high, checking on grades, helping with note taking and organization, etc. to ensure that they reach their maximum potential while they are at CLS.
In the Zona sat down with 2 CLS students and their mentors: 7th grader Kennedy Williams and her mentor Tracy Skoog and 7th grader Jake Mara and his mentor Christie Roe.
zona: What has the CLS Advisory Program meant to you? Has it helped you become a better student? How?
kennedy: The advisory program is very unique. It has definitely made me a better student. It makes me aware of what I need to do better and what I need to strive for.
zona: Who is your Advisor? What are some of your Advisor’s greatest attributes?
kennedy: Mrs. Skoog is my advisor. She is hilarious, smart, helpful, and the best thing about her is that she always has your back.
zona: What exactly does your Advisor advise? How has your Advisor prepared you better for eighth grade and high school?
kennedy: Your advisor shows you your current grades, helps you plan study time, and more things like that. It has prepared me; the program has shown me skills I can use in later years.
zona: Where do you want to go to high school? Are you excited to be an eighth grader and be the “king of the school” next year?
kennedy: I will most likely go to Arcadia. I guess I am excited to be in eighth grade, but I’ve also heard it is a big challenge, which also makes me a little nervous.
zona: What would you tell a classmate that was interested in the Advisory Program?
kennedy: I would tell them that it is extremely helpful and would definitely impact them for the rest of their school years.
zona: What else do you like to do when you’re not studying or attending class? Do you have any interesting hobbies, or collections? Do you play sports?
kennedy: Yes, I play soccer for the Blackhawks. We have done extremely well, winning the league and state.
zona: What’s your favorite TV show? Favorite book you ever read? Favorite subject in school? Least favorite noise? Favorite dessert? Favorite restaurant in town to go to with your family? Favorite board game? Favorite video game? Favorite band?

zona: What has the CLS Advisory Program meant to you? Has it helped you become a better student? How?
jake: The CLS Advisory programs keeps me focused on school and what I need to work on. Yes, it keeps me on top of my work.
zona: Who is your Advisor? What are some of your Advisor’s greatest attributes?
jake: Mrs. Roe she is funny, energetic, and very encouraging.
zona: What exactly does your Advisor advise? How has your Advisor prepared you better for the eighth grade, or even high school?
jake: Each advisor is given a certain number of students to advise. It is nice to have Mrs. Roe as an advisor because she is also an 8th grade teacher so she knows what my work is in 8th grade.
zona: Where do you want to go to high school? Are you excited to be an eighth grader and be the “king of the school” next year?
jake: I haven’t thought about it much but I am probably going to go to Arcadia. I guess I am a little excited to be an 8th grader.
zona: What else do you like to do when you’re not studying or attending class? Do you have any interesting hobbies, or collections? Do you play sports?
jake: Yes, I do play sports I like to play baseball, football, and sometimes basketball.
zona: Is your dad cool? What makes him such a great dad?
jake: Yes, my dad is fun to be around because he is funny, he likes to watch sports with me, and I can always count on him to be there for me.
zona: How about your mom, why should your mom win the “Mom of the Year” award, if there was such a thing?
jake: My mom should win it because she is kind, generous, and always there for me just like my dad.
zona: What’s your favorite TV show? Favorite book you ever read? Favorite subject in school? Least favorite noise? Favorite dessert? Favorite restaurant in town to go to with your family?

zona: If you could hang out with one person on a Saturday, dead or alive, make believe or real, who would it be and what would you guys do?
jake: If I could I hang out with one person it would probably be Will Ferrell, and we would watch a bunch of his funny movies.
zona: Would you like to give a ZONA “shout out” to your parents?
jake: I would just like to thank my parents for everything they do for me.
Christie Roe, Jake’s advisor, was a stockbroker before she became an English teacher. She had 3 boys graduate from CLS.
zona: Tell us about the Advisory program?
christie: We began the Advisory program three years ago after hearing about it at a conference we attend in Long Beach every three years. The conference is called CAPSO: Catholic and Private School Organization. A number of our faculty happened to attend the session and were excited and impressed by the presenter and the results they had seen in their school.
zona: Did you get picked to be a part to this program or did you volunteer?
christie: We decided three years ago to implement the program and by and large are very happy with it. The goal is to have one advisor for a group of 10-12 junior high students (7th and 8th graders in each Advisory group), thus all the junior high faculty are involved, as well as a few other staff people to keep the ratio where we want it. The program allows for individualized attention for each student as they transition to and move through junior high.
zona: What is your favorite part of the program?
christie: Over the years we have continued to tweak the curriculum and are arriving at a happy medium of a core curriculum with some flexible time in the 45 minutes we meet each Wednesday afternoon. The structured time allows for a lesson which is centered around a variety of topics including time management, learning styles, organization, personality profiles, etc. The flexible time allows the advisors to review grades and progress with the students weekly.
zona: Can you tell us something great about Jake and Kennedy?
christie: While I don’t know Kennedy or Jake well, as I teach 8th grade and they are 7th graders, I do have Jake in Advisory. He’s a very strong student who is transitioning well to junior high. He is a hard worker and an enjoyable young man with a delightful sense of humor. Likewise, I had time with Kennedy this fall at another program we have, Astrocamp. Kennedy is a leader and a tremendous athlete.
zona: How long have you been teaching?
christie: This is my 8th year of teaching English and literature at Christ Lutheran. I love sharing my faith on a daily basis and am humbled to be a part of a student’s life at such a pivotal time in their learning and personal growth.
zona: What did you do before you became a teacher? What subject(s) do you teach now?
christie: Prior to teaching at Christ Lutheran, I taught English 101 and 102 at Mesa Community College and
Scottsdale Community College. Before we had children (a zillion years ago!) I was a financial advisor with E.F. Hutton.
zona: Would you recommend this program to other teachers and/or schools?
christie: I think the Advisory program holds much potential for our students and future at CLS. Our low student to teacher ratio allows for this program to be successful, which may not be a possibility in the larger public school classrooms.
Tracey Skoog, Kennedy’s advisor, is also an English teacher and has one current CLS student in 5th grade and one who graduated from CLS.
zona: Tell us about the Advisory program?
tracey: Our advisory program is made up of small groups consisting of 12-14 students and a faculty member advisor. Groups meet once a week. During these meetings, students have the opportunity to conference with their advisor one-on-one for the purpose of discussing grades and addressing other issues or concerns. Advisors also lead students in lessons that address topics such as study skills, organization and time management. Advisors also act as liaison between school and home. This is very beneficial since junior high students work with 6-8 teachers per day.
zona: Did you get picked to be a part to this program or did you volunteer?
tracey: Being an advisor is a responsibility of most junior high teachers.
zona: What is your favorite part of the program?
tracey: My favorite part of the program is having the opportunity to develop relationships with students and families.
zona: Can you tell us something great about Kennedy?
tracey: Kennedy is a hard very hard worker. She is organized, studious and makes the job of advising an easy one.
zona: What did you do before you became a teacher? What subject(s) do you teach now?
tracey: This is my 20th year of teaching. I’ve always been a teacher. I have taught many ages and have enjoyed them all. I have to be honest and admit that junior high is one of my favorite age levels to teach. I currently teach 7th grade English and Literature.
zona: How long have you been involved with this program?
tracey: This is my 4th year with the advisory program.
zona: Would you recommend this program to other teachers and/or schools?
tracey: I would definitely recommend this program to others. I think it’s a wonderful opportunity to help students and families develop connections between school and home. It is also important to provide students with an individual that they can go to for support or questions throughout the two years in junior high.

REMY: Rising To The Occasion
Remy Smidt, Xavier College Prep’s Senior (glasses), heads up the student-run foundation to raise funds and awareness for the child soldiers called Invisible Children in Uganda.
Zona: Why are you having a bake sale?
Remy: The bake sale is for Invisible Children. Three young filmmakers from UCSD started it. They took a trip to Africa and discovered a war that isn’t very well known. It’s fueled by children soldiers. Children are abducted in the night, indoctrinated and forced to fight. The war is in northern Uganda. Partly due to the visibility the Invisible Children cause has generated, northern Uganda has seen relative peace for awhile now. The war has unfortunately spread to other African nations.
Zona: What does Invisible Children actually do?
Remy: They actually go in and educate the children and the women in the country. They open rehabilitation centers for the children who have fought in the war. They set up radio towers to help improve communication within the towns and villages. It’s a great organization and it si inspiring to young people.
Zona: How did you find out about Invisible Children?
Remy: I found out about it last year online. Even though the organization is pretty big in California, it isn’t really well known, especially in the Phoenix Area. I am really trying to get Arizona schools involved with this.
Zona: Is this the first event that you have done for Invisible Children or have you done other things?
Remy: We have done a few other things. When Invisible Children actually came to our school it was great. Everyone got to see it and a lot of the girls donated and bouth t-shirts. This is just our small series of fundraisers that will lead up to our big event, in March. That event is going to be for parents and tickets are going to be sold for $25.00. There will be dinner and a concert.
Zona: Will you be having a presentation that night?
Remy: Definitely. Invisible Children have these people called “Roadies” who are people that ravel around and talk to others about the organization. They might come or we may just talk since we are all educated on the program.
Zona: Tell us about the bill.
Remy: It is the LRA disarment bill. The LRA is the Lord’s Resistance Army which is terrorizing the countries of Central Africa. It is lead by Joseph Kony.
Zona: How much did you raise from the bake sale?
Remy: More than $200 from the bake sale and over $900 from other fund raisers.
Zona: What are you going to do for college?
Remy: I am looking at liberal arts schools. I am going to major in Peace and Justice or something that is related so I can do more things like this. If I don’t get into the school that I want I may take a year off and volunteer with this organization.
Zona: Any big ZONA “shout outs” that you would like to give?
Remy: I would like to give a shout out to all of my fiends because without them this would not be possible. I never thought that they would be this supportive because it’s really hard to do anything like this alone. Also our parents for their support.
Hanging Champs!
In the Zona received the following letter from one of our readers:
Hello ZONA,
My name is Katelin Flaherty, and I am an 8th grader at Saint Theresa Catholic School! For the last few years our school has had a soccer team. We play for ASUSC soccer league! Our team has won the last 2 championships in a row and this is our last year playing as a team together on ASUSC, before we all start high school next year. We would love to be in the Zona! If you could please get back to me, I will send you more information needed! Thank you for your time.
-Katelin Flaherty

Maddie Krentz: Supergirl!
Maddie Krentz: Super gymnastics girl!
Senior- Cactus Shadows High School
Zona: What has AZ Sunrays meant to you? How long have you trained there? Has it changed a lot since you began?
Maddie: Sunrays means the world to me. It’s like a second home! I spend 20 hours a week there. I have been a gymnast at Sunrays for about 16 years now; I started in Mommy and Me classes and progressed through the years. My workouts have gotten a lot harder, but that is just because I have moved up levels. It’s nice because I am very close with my coaches. We spend so much time together, they are like second parents to me! Not only has Dan helped me through my gymnastics career but he also cares about me as a person and treats me like his own kid.
Zona: Why did Boise State want Maddie Krentz? Did you visit the campus? What was it like? Were there any other schools you were thinking about?
Maddie: Boise recruited me for my skills on every event. I have also known Neil (one of the head coaches) since I was young. They like the attitude I have towards gymnastics. I went to the campus in September for my official visit, and it was beautiful! I had other schools in mind but always knew Boise was right for me. It was where I fit in best.
Zona: What were some of your other accomplishments in the last two years, on and off the mat?
Maddie: I competed in the Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup, a meet that about 36 girls qualify fo each year. I was also the most outstanding gymnast in the state of Arizona in 2010. I competed in Junior Olympic Nationals in 2010 and placed 7th on the floor and 9th on the bars. I have been in honors and advanced placement classes since my freshman year, and I still maintain an unweighted GPA of 3.85.
Zona: If you could go on any trip with any person, dead or alive, make believe or real, who would it be and where would you go?
Maddie: I would want to go on a trip with Nastia Liukin to Beijing, where the 2008 Olympics were held because I would want to hear about all of the cool stuff she go to do and complete experience of the trip and competition.
Zona: Do you ever dream of the Olympics? Could that ever happen?
Maddie: I have always dreamed of going to the Olympics, but right now I am sticking to my plan of competing in college and winning some NCAA titles. Maybe after college, we will see how things go!
Olivia Pearson’s “Hear Me Roar” Fashion Show
On November 11, 2011, around 6:30pm I walked out onto the runway, nervous and excited for it to start; I received a few last comments of encouragement from Eden, the DJ, and then, I grabbed the microphone. I faced the audience- Just breathe; just breathe, Olivia, it is going to be great. You have to be strong for the women…
Welcome, I’d like to thank you all for coming to support these women. These women are truly spectacular and frankly, the most gorgeous models you will ever meet or see. When they stop and face you guys (the audience), I need you to give them your full support. I need you to hoot, and I need you to holler. After a few more comments, thank-you’s, and acknowledgements, I walked off the runway. I was backstage, with the models and the stylists in complete silence, waiting for the opening song by Jordin Sparks, “I am Woman”, to start. I stood against the wall and stared, one by one, into the eyes of every model who was waiting to strut her stuff in front of each audience member. Finally, the music started, and the first model walked out onto the runway…I sighed with relief and then flashed the biggest smile that I have ever smiled in my entire life- it was finally happening. I had done it; I had completed the impossible, and now, the women, the strong group of 30 women whom I had fallen in love with, were going to receive the benefits of Hear Me Roar.
Hear Me Roar was a charity fashion that that I planned to support the empowerment of women and to increase awareness of women’s situational struggles. The models of the show were current and ex-residents of two local Arizona organizations: Chicanos Por La Causa and UMOM. The women from Chicanos Por La Causa were ex-residents of their domestic violence unit, De Colores, and the young women from UMOM were current residents of their assisted living facilities to prevent homelessness. The goal of my show was to provide the women with a night where they could have fun, feel fabulous, and show the world what they have to offer. They needed to know that they are beautiful, even though they might be going through a rough time at the current moment, they are not going to be there forever. I believe by helping the women find their confidence, even if it was for a brief moment, it encourages them to continue their fight, not only towards normalcy but greatness. Hear Me Roar was an opportunity for the beautiful women from these organizations to strut their stuff in confidence and say to the audience, “Hear Me Roar”.

Ask Azure
Dear Azure,
My baby brother Calvin is cute and all, but he’s gotten all the attention and no one cares about me anymore. Everyone’s always holding him and playing with him and I just get left out. Will it ever change, ‘ cuz I’m only 9? I like Calvin, but I’m mad at him now also!
Sincerely – Left Out
Dear Betrayed,
It is very normal to feel unappreciated when a younger sibling comes around. It is your parents’ natural instinct to pay attention to your little brother, because he needs it a lot at his age. I suggest that you buy Calvin a stuffed tiger and a red and black striped shirt, and see where that takes him… Anyone? Kidding… Kidding… Anyway, try talking to your parents, and let them know that you’re really missing them right now, suggest that maybe you do something together and maybe they can leave the li’l tike with a babysitter. If they say no, don’t feel bad; new parents are usually tired all the time, because they’re worn ragged. If that is the case, maybe you can spend time together by pitching in around the house. Maybe you could help one of your parents hang laundry while you talk about your day, or dry dishes while they wash. Even if it feels like work, it will give you some quality time, and help them out too, so it may give them more time to spend with you afterwards. Your parents still love you every bit as much as they always have, but their attention is just more divided. Parents are human too, and they can get stretched pretty thin. I really hope this helps!
Your Friend – Azure Bays
Hi Azure,
I’m a Sophomore in High School and I have a heavy problem. There’s a boy I like a lot (we’ll call him Tom) and he’s best friends with another boy who’s always been just my BFF, nothing more. Recently, I can tell that my BFF knows I like Tom, get it? Now my BFF is all mad at me and has got total attitude, in fact, we can’t even hang out anymore like we used to without a bunch of stress in the air. Well, Tom just asked me out to today at school and I said yes. Yikes! What do you think I should do?
Signed – Miss Confusion Dear Miss Confusion,
That’s rough. Try and think about why your friend is behaving in this way. The way I see it, there are a few obvious reasons: first, maybe your friend would actually like to be a little more than friends. On the other hand, maybe he knows something about your Mr. Wonderful that you don’t. Maybe this guy you like is a heartbreaker, and your friend doesn’t want to see you get hurt. Another possibility, is that your friend is worried that if the two of you break up, he’ll have to be the one in the middle of it. Talk to him, and find out why he doesn’t want you to be with this guy. See if his reasoning makes sense, and consider your options. If you still want to be with this guy, tell your friend how much it would mean to you to have both his friendship and a chance at a relationship with this guy. If your friend refuses to see things your way, consider whether this guy is really worth ruining what sounds like a great longtime friendship. Good luck, Miss!
Sincerely – Azure Bays
Dear Azure,
I chose you to answer my question because I like your name, and I think that we probably have a lot in common.
Ok, so my name is Tammy and i’m 12 years old in 7th grade. There is this girl @ school, who I thought was my friend, but now I’m having second thoughts. Ok, so she’s horrible at math and I’m okay at it; so last week I caught her copying off me on a big test. I don’t know what to do, because I really value our friendship (we’ve been friends since 5th grade) but I don’t want to be cheated off of. I also don’t want her to get in trouble. I’m afraid that if I tell her not to do it again, she might not want to hang out anymore.
Please Help – Tammy
Dear Tammy,
Wow! That’s a tricky situation! I had to think about that one for a while. Here’s what I think. You said that this friend is really important to you, and that you didn’t want to get her in trouble, so I think you kind of answered yourself there, as to whether or not she is your friend. She is, but she’s a friend who made a really bad choice. Speak with the teacher in private, and tell him or her that somebody has been cheating off of you, but you don’t feel comfortable saying who. Request a seat change, at least during tests. That should stop her from cheating off of you again.
Your friend – Azure Bays
