Congratulations to these seniors on this recent news of college acceptances:
- Rayna Silberman - East Carolina University
- Malia Perera - Ross and Carol Nese College of Nursing at Penn State University- Erie
- Temy Mohanan Maselko - UNC Chapel Hill
Thank you to our wonderful slate of parent career speakers - and to Amy Shields and Charlotte for all of the front-work on pulling it together. Kudos to the whole team for assisting with the execution!
Also, thanks and appreciation to our entire community for your flexibility with our weather closings last week. This week looks like hints of spring may tease us.
BEHIND THE SCENES:
We returned on Friday minus four faculty members and several students hit hard by both GI and other flu-like maladies. We reviewed effective hand washing and other wellness routines with all students in attendance and will continue to do so. Please reinforce these messages at home and err on the side of caution about sending students to school with any symptoms to help our community get on the other side of this wave of illness.
