Weekly Update #4

HAPPY FEBRUARY!

Mother Nature's been very generous to us these past few days with the 50+ degrees weather. Who knows what our next month will look like, but hopefully we'll benefit from some more sunshine. Right off the bat, I would like to give a hearty and happy  CONGRATULATIONS to Katie  on her acceptance to Franklin Pierce University!!!!! We could not be happier for you, Katie!

The week has, so far, gone by well. It's been full of college visits, a new attendance-coloring-smiley-face program, the good ol' homework grind, and the completion and submission of college applications and financial aid materials. Whooo!    

Home-made preventative remedies to halt Senioritis Part 1
Fortunately, Senioritis has not yet fully hit our scholars in all of it's debilitating forms. However, based on these past few weeks' study habits and work ethics, it's important we all take our vitamins and do everything in our power to ensure everyone remains happy, healthy, and successful in their final semester of high school.
Nonsense! There is much to be done to evade this plague.
  1. Take care of yourself Self love and self care will lead to a happy and healthy you! (Wow this sounds cheesy, but it’s sooo true). Sleep is super important for focus and long-term health. Dedication to a regular sleeping schedule will also make it easier to get up each morning. 
  2. Stay organized Don't skimp out on minor assignments. Everything counts. Everything adds up. When applying to schools/figuring out what to do after high school, there is often a lot to keep track of (both online and on paper). Have folders, save passwords, draft calendars--anything that will help you stay composed in the influx of info. 
  3. Have fun It’s your senior year of high school. You've earned a good time. Make that good time productive and exciting!

~ Quote of the week ~

"Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. 
The good news is that you don't know how great you can be!
How much you can love! 
What you can accomplish! 
And what your potential is!"

Stay classy, Rams,
