Onyx Fall-Winter 2018

INTRODUCING ONYX I’m so excited to be at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College to cheer on the Pomeroys! I am honored to have this very important role as the SMWC mascot. In case you didn’t know, horses symbolize intelligence, strength and grace, the very same adjectives we can use to describe our beloved SMWC! Horses possess a unique combination of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual qualities. We are majestic, intelligent, determined and fierce – the embodiment of power, athleticism and might. With my enthusiasm for our students, I’m eager to take the SMWC school spirit to a whole new level. I like to meet new people and get them excited about The Woods. I’m also pretty spontaneous so, you just never know where I might be next. Fun Facts Where do you live? I live in Le Fer with the students. Where else? What do you love most about The Woods?
