Wednesday, March 2, 2022 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Brynn Beaver When Brynn Beaver moved to Sisters in the summer of 2021, she did not know what to expect from her new — and much smaller — high school. “I moved right in the middle of the pan- demic,” she recalled. “What a time to be a new student.” Any concern about finding her place in her new school was quickly alleviated by a warm welcome from both students and teachers. Brynn found a natural home in the music and theater program. “It’s always felt like kind of my ‘thing,’” she said. Last month, she found herself in the spotlight with the major role of Ado Annie Carnes in the SHS production of “Oklahoma!” The role tested Brynn’s vo- cal chops — and she found she could do things she didn’t initially think she could do. “I’ve done that a lot here, as a stu- dent,” she said. “I think its just learn- ing not to turn down opportunities that are presented to you because you don’t think you can pull it off. That was my big- gest hurdle.” She said that she has learned to trust that her teachers believe in her, and that helps her believe in herself and achieve more than she thought herself capable of. Brynn is planning to attend the Univer- sity of Oregon with a major in psychol- ogy, a passion that she hopes to pursue Sisters High School February 2021 Student of the Month into graduate school and beyond. But she won’t leave the stage behind. “I would love to keep the arts and theater in my life,” she said. Brynn is a wonderful, spirited, kind, and always curious human who brings light and love to the world. — Susie Seaney Brynn Beaver is a shining star in the Sis- ters High School music program. She is a strong singer in the Concert Choir and a valued percussionist in the Band. Brynn was a giant part of the school musical Oklahoma this past weekend. She played the powerhouse leading role of Ado Annie - adding lots of perfectly-timed comic relief to the show. Brynn also helped design the costumes in the show. Brynn’s lighthearted spirit and extreme talent elevates every- one around her. Congratulations Brynn! — Rick Johnson In class, Brynn is an asset in so many ways. She is open-minded, insightful, sincere, and intentional. She is able to look beyond the literal and present her thoughts in an effective manner. She cares about people and does her best to make all feel welcome. She makes a strong ef- fort to show her selfl ess attitude. With a strong desire to support mental health and to help make changes, she plans on pur- suing a degree in Psychology. I have wit- nessed a plethora of examples that illus- trate qualities that show that she would be effective in that fi eld. She shows eagerness and capacity to learn, she can be entrusted to use good judgment, she knows when to seek help, she displays a high degree of emotional maturity, and she is passion- ately empathetic.
