Remington Lewis ‘27, who prefers to go by her nickname Remi, is one of the many additions to North Cross this school year. A social butterfly, she enjoyed the homecoming dance and looks forward to her close friend Julia Corliss’s senior night volleyball game on October 16. The 5-foot-9 middle and outside hitter joined the Varsity Volleyball team and has contributed ten kills, four aces and four blocks in the 23 sets she has played this season. Unfortunately, Lewis sprained her ankle during an intense game against Roanoke Catholic. She was in a boot for a couple weeks but Lewis is back on the court with more enthusiasm than ever. Lewis is also enthusiastic about the beginning of basketball season as she has been playing since she was 6 years old. Her jersey number is 2, the day of her dog, Pepe’s, birthday. She played on a travel basketball team with sophomore Maddie Howes ‘27 last winter. “I would say she is probably one of the most supportive players I have played with,” Howes said. With such an interest in extracurricular activities, the benefits of NCS are not lost on Lewis. “It’s really nice! The teachers are really nice, very welcoming,” Lewis said, when asked about her experience at NCS so far. “You know they really want to get to know you. They always greet you and say hi to you.” Lewis is also involved in Media Club. She has an older brother, Conner and loves listening to the artist Frank Ocean. She can’t decide between “Seigfried” or "Bad Religion" for her favorite song. Lewis also loves to travel. Her favorite place she’s visited was Lake Como, Italy. She loved the food and beautiful landscape. In the pesto capital of Italy, Genoa, Lewis enjoyed muscles, pasta, and an amazing chocolate cake for dessert, saying that this “was my favorite meal of the trip, and still might be my favorite meal of all time.” But not much else in the U.S. compares to her favorite burger from Jack Brown’s in downtown Roanoke. Though Lewis is an outgoing friendly face to say hi to in the hallways, she does have her secrets. “No one knows my middle name,” Lewis said, “And I won’t tell anyone!"

Remi Lewis ‘27 sits with friends, Scout Kappes ‘26 and Maddie Howes ‘27, on Decades Day of Spirit Week. For Homecoming Spirit Week the SCA chose the theme of decades for each grade on Monday. The freshmen wore ‘70s fashions, the sophomores dressed for the ‘80s, the juniors were decked out in ‘90s gear and the senior class traveled back to the 2000s. Each grade enjoyed searching for an outfit to match their decade. The competition during break for who had the best costume was won by Tristan Lange ‘26. “I think the person that had the best outfit was Julia Corliss with her amazing flip phone costume,” Lewis said. Lewis’ own costume consisted of blue jeans, a Virginia Tech jacket, an orange headband and yellow Nikes. There was some speculation among students about the results of the contest ,but by the end of the day it was forgotten and students eagerly awaited Tuesday’s Duo Day. To describe the Decades Day in one word Lewis enthusiastically said, “colorful.” A TRIP FOR THE BOOKS: My grandmother, mother, sister and I are having an incredible experience at the palace of Versailles in France. My grandmother took the women of my family on a trip to Europe this summer. We visited London and Paris, seeing all that the cities had to offer. Versailles’ gardens were spectacular to see in person after waiting my whole life to visit them. I’ve wanted to visit Paris since I was a little girl so this trip truly was a dream come true. My sister Virginia said, “My favorite part was all the statues.” Throughout the garden we could see statues of famous people and art created by fascinating artists. The body of water seen near the top of this photo was a gorgeous pond where the wind blew ripples across its surface. And even though it was too cold at the time for the fountains to be turned on and show us their beauty, we were in awe of the gold accents along the edges. Such a memorable trip! |
