Math Resource Center Schedule

Good Morning Williston!

Just wanted to remind you to take advantage of the fabulous tutors offering help in the Math Resource Center, room 28 in the Schoolhouse (and in the Stu Bop on Tuesday evenings).  Remember you do NOT NEED AN APPOINTMENT!!!  Simply stop by when the tutors are available (once a week in each of the periods A thru G) and ask for help.  They are ready and waiting, so come on down!  The schedule is attached in case you misplaced your copy…

Have a great week!

WILDCATS WEAR PINK!

Hey guys!

Some of you may have noticed the Varsity Volleyball team in the dining hall selling shirts today (Thursday). If you were interested in one but did not order one before, please reply me with your size. The second batch of shirts should be coming in next week. We will send out another email when they arrive. 

The shirts are $15. WE TAKE CASH AND SAMMY CARDS!

$4 from each sale will be donated to Breast Cancer Research!

The sizes range from S to XL (Ladies may want to size down because they are men’s sizes!)

If you have already ordered a shirt but did not pick it up today, please stop by the dining hall during lunch tomorrow to pick them up. We will collect the money when you come get your shirt. 

Thanks, 

Vivien Shao

PSAT for Sophomores and Juniors

Hello Juniors and Sophomores,

As you know, you will all be taking the PSAT on Wednesday, October 14, 2015 in the Athletic Center. Because there have been some questions about this, I wanted to clarify that there is nothing you need to do ahead of time in the way of signing up or registering. We will have everything ready for you on that day.

If you would like to pick up the Official Student Guide to the PSAT, stop by Plimpton Hall (College Counseling) any time – they are right here on the counter for you. It gives you a little preview, some test-taking tips, and an official practice test if you’d like to check out a sample.

If you have any questions about this, just let me know, or feel free to stop by my office in Plimpton Hall any time!

Best,
Mrs. Ward

Hello Williston,

As we head into the middle of October, let’s recognize the end of Hispanic Heritage Month which runs from September 15-October 15. Click here to watch a reading by the first Latino U.S. Poet Laureate, Juan Felipe Herrera, and click here to read more about him.

We will continue the celebration this Wednesday evening at dinner in the Birch Dining Commons with food, music, and dancing sponsored by our Multicultural Student Union. Don’t miss this opportunity to try something new and learn about our community’s Hispanic heritage. See you out there.

Sincerely,
