Spring?
Did I say in my last post that spring was here? Well, you can all blame me for jumping the gun. While it has not felt much like spring this week there are still plenty of spring things going on. Last weekend we hosted almost 200 families for our Accepted Student Preview Day. And while not balmy, the 50 degree day was much better than last year’s sleet and freezing rain.
There are still baseball, softball and lacrosse games and rugby matches happening on campus. The tennis, golf and track teams are still competing, albeit with a couple extra layers on. High school juniors have started the journeys to college campus to get their college searches started and accepted students are coming back for one last visit and calling about their financial aid awards. Yes, it feels like spring in every sense of the word except for the weather.
I was at Abington High School last night and met some great families. If you were the swimmer, chemist, mathematician, or field hockey player I spoke with, thanks for coming by. Today we had 30 juniors from Twin Valley High School on campus to tour and learn more about the College and the college search process. I hope I didn’t bore you too much! Tuesday I also got to talk with 8th graders from Fleetwood Middle School about preparation for college. Tonight I travel to William Floyd High School on Long Island to talk to families.
It never ends, the busy spring. Someone please tell Mother Nature to catch up! Heard 60 and sunny on Saturday.
