This week, the Palm Valley School booted up its classes once again and welcomed back its wondrous array of red-hot Firebirds. But… something’s missing. There’s this unmistakable dread that fills the hearts, minds, and very SOULS of our students. Could it be the stress of a new year with new teachers? Could it be the pressure of college application ominously looming over the seniors? No, that would be ridiculous. All our lives are missing sophisticated schoolyard shenanigans…

My ears are ringing with an orchestral fanfare. Spirits are restored. After a lengthy and unbearable summer hiatus, the staff of thebirdonfire.org is back in action. This year’s blog staff currently includes seasoned veterans like myself, Renée Vazquez, and James Zheng. New to the staff this year are Doreen Yuan, Chelsea Xu, Katelin Slosky, and Emily Castro. You may have noticed that I wrote “currently” before listing our staff members. That means you can still JOIN OUR STAFF–unless you are from the future. There has never been a better time to join us! We are fast approaching half a decade of The Bird On Fire, with its birthday coming up in December. Even if a transition to our staff is not in your stars, please enjoy the show!
