Jasper enters domain with expectations

As soon as she walked into the doors


of FHN, she felt small. While walking down the halls, she noticed all the colors on everyone’s clothing – something she was not used to. For some it was just another first day, but for freshman Maggie Jasper, it was her first day of public school.

Previously, Maggie attended St. Norbert for first through fifth grade and then went to St. Roberts for sixth grade. She then finished off at St. Elizabeth for seventh and eighth grade.

There were a lot of changes she had to adjust to, one being the uniform policy. Before going to public school, Maggie wore a skirt with a white polo. Now she has the freedom to wear clothes that express
out their educations. While living in Florissant, Maggie’s parents felt both girls weren’t in a good public school area.They decided that moving would be the best idea. However, they still supported their decision to send them to private school before high school.

“We wanted them [the girls] to have a good moral background,” Alice said. “Initially she [Maggie] wanted to go to a private high school but we moved to live in a good school district so she wouldn’t have to.”
Now that both girls are transitioned into a public high school, David and Alice
can remove the weight lying on their shoulders.

“I wasn’t worried about Maggie,” David said. “She had her big sister there to help her.”
