Arabella Sunga, ‘20
NDB community reflects on the postponement of Aquacades 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic
The Catalyst interviewed Arabella Sunga, senior, about what would have been Aquacades.
TC: Friday would have been Aquacades, but it was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. What do you have to say about that?
AS: I like Aquacades, and I am upset that it is possible getting canceled. I really hope it will be postponed. It is a disservice to the seniors because we won’t have this iconic event.
TC: If we come back to school before the end of the year, do you think Aquacades should be rescheduled or should it be canceled?
AS: Rescheduled, rather than canceled. Everything is up in the air. The panic is too much and the governor has not made a decision if school will be canceled until next fall.
TC: People usually look at pictures or videos of last year’s Aquacades to learn what it’s about. One year from now, what do you want people to know about Aquacades?
AS: Aquacades is a bonding experience for all of the classes, especially the sister classes. It is a break from school and a way to promote the school’s Hallmarks, sisterhood, and empowerment for women.
