Standout Student
Sponsored by Marquette Bank
Emily Conneely,
Cardinal Joseph
Bernardin Catholic
School fifth-grader
Emily Conneely was chosen
as The Orland Park Prairie’s
Standout Student because of her
academic accomplishments.
What is one essential you
must have when studying?
One essential I must have
when studying is some kind
of notes from the subject. In
most of my classes, we take
notes or use a study guide.
This keeps me nice and organized
when studying and
prepares me for the test.
What do you like to do when
not in school or studying?
When I’m not in school
or studying, I like to read or
play electronics.

What is your dream job?
My dream job is to be a
teacher, so I can share my
knowledge and useful information
that is good for a
lesson. Also, I would always
continue to learn.
What is one thing people
don’t know about you?
One thing most people
don’t know about me is that
I still have the blanket I had
when I was a baby. I still
sleep with it.
Whom do you look up to?
I look up to my parents
and my teachers. I look up to
them, because my parents are
always open to help me and to
teach me valuable life lessons.
My teachers are the ones I rely
on to educate me, and they are
willing to help a student.
What is your favorite class?
My favorite class is reading
class, because I love
to read. I read and re-read
books. I have completed
three reading logs (15 book
slots per log).
What is one thing that stands
out about your school?
One thing that stands out
about my school is that it’s a
Catholic school. My school is
named after a cardinal. At my
school, we take a whole period
for religion class. We are
always learning about faith.
If you could change one thing
about your school, what
would it be?
If I could change one thing
about my school, it would be
changing our buddy program.
We have buddy program with
our second and sixth-graders.
I think that it should start
with first- and fifth-graders,
and end with fourth- and
eighth-graders. This would
prepare the fourth-graders to
be the buddies the next year.
Also, the same people would
be buddies until fourth- and
eighth-grade.
What is your best memory
from school?
My best memory or memories
from school are meeting
my friends who are still
close with me today.
Standout Student is a weekly
feature for The Orland Park
Prairie. Nominations come from
Orland Park area schools.

Mother McAuley Liberal Arts
High School
Orland Park senior places
third in ‘Art from the Heart’
contest
Mother McAuley Liberal
Arts High School art students
recently participated
in a contest to decorate Advocate
Christ Medical Center
in Oak Lawn. The contest,
themed “Art from the
Heart,” was open to seniors
and juniors in local high
schools. All submissions
were on display for community
members, artists, parents,
friends and faculty, and
judged at an awards and recognition
evening on Feb. 23.
Senior Faith Primozic,
of Orland Park, won third
place in the contest. This is
the second piece of artwork
Primozic will have exhibited
permanently in Advocate
Christ Medical Center.
This contest was open to
high schools that participated
in the hospital’s “Live from
the Heart” program, which
brought high school science
classes into the hospital’s
auditorium to watch an open
heart surgery. Students were
able to watch the procedure
on a projector screen, ask
questions and learn ways to
keep the heart healthy.
Contest entries could have
been in the form of a drawing,
painting, photograph
or freestanding sculpture.
Each piece was judged on
its interpretation and clarity
of the theme to the viewer,
creativity and originality, the
artist’s statement, and appropriateness
and feasibility for
its display in the hospital.
