September 2014


Hello 2016-ers!

Welcome back!  I hope that you had a great summer:  you played, rested, slept, did one or two really wacky things, etc….  Now that you’re back, you will most likely spend some time catching up with friends, sharing stories, telling everyone about the wacky thing(s?) you did.  more>>

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

I helped the first year students move in.  I have done this every year, except for one.  It is so much fun to be a part of the excitement and to watch the faces of the students - some with a "deer in the headlights" look - and their parents - a mixture of sadness and delight that their student is now in college.  Just two years ago, you were in the same situation. I am sure I helped some of you move in.  more>>
