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

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!

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. Brynn is awesome!
