MAY I please be done with school now?

How can it possibly be May already??

It seems like just yesterday that I was emailing all of you students & parents, attempting to give a bit of information about myself, and the craziness of the upcoming year. Fast forward 9 months, and here we are! The wing has gone through a series of fun programs, extra virtual-social activities, and a lot of fun interactions via our hall's discord. We still have a bit more fun in store for the end of the year, though, so hopefully no one is too checked out already!!

In addition to a slew of fun programming put on by our wing liaison, we'll also be having a few programs about online etiquette, and how to stay safe on various sites teens use on a daily basis, and one on budgeting, going over everything from FAFSA to taxes to savings! I like to think that the knowledge I try to give our students is the type of knowledge that can transfer over into the real world, and be things they can take with them even as they leave IMSA. 

Speaking of leaving IMSA, one last thing of note for May is going to be the last week of May, when we welcome our Seniors back to campus for a small Senior celebration. I am so beyond excited to get to see all of our Seniors back on campus, and am looking forward to getting to celebrate them, and all that they've accomplished! It's been a very quiet and somewhat sad year without them, and the rest of our students, so I'm hoping that it will bring some positivity and life back to campus. More information will be coming in our student affairs newsletters, so keep an eye out in your inbox for those!

I know everyone is itching to make it to summer, and we're so close! Lord knows we could all use the break! But, in the meantime, let's make it a great last month!
