This afternoon the National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for Berkshire County, west of the school. We are monitoring the situation, but tonight’s Academic Awards Ceremony is taking place as planned. The event, which is mandatory for students, will be held in the Athletic Center, beginning at 6:45 p.m. (It will be webcast live at www.williston.com/live).
In case of a weather situation in Hampshire County, we will contact families by text message to update them about the school’s response to the emergency conditions and about any changes to this evening’s event.
If I don’t already know- what are your plans for Saturday night after graduation? Will your family be here? Please reply to this email with answers to these questions.
I have your pictures in my office with signed frames for those who could not make it to the closing brunch.
Make sure I have transferred your VISA to the college you will attend. If you have not communicated which school you will go next year I will complete your VISA status on June 10th.
Getting very exciting! I am sad to see you go but very proud of your achievement.
Aloha,
Bridget M. Choo
Director of Diversity
Due to the heavy rain and lightning expected to be in the area at 5 pm, there will be no Ultimate this evening.
I’m interested in hearing from anybody who would like to be part of a competitive Williston Ultimate Club, which would play a few other teams in the evenings (after sports) and/or on Sundays in the Spring of 2013. (The pick-up games will continue, but will be for a broader group of players.)
Thanks to all you Seniors who contributed to the Tuesday and Thursday night fun over the past few months. Play in college—or wherever you may be.
UPS STORE in Reed
Wed May 30th……12-4pm
Thurs May 31st……10am-4pm
To help us plan packing and shipping of our stuff, the UPS Store will be here from 12-4pm tomorrow, and 10am-4pm on Thursday. Come check it out for prices. Get your stuff together tonight, and during dorm cleanup 3-5pm on Wednesday. We will have it on the bottom floor of Reed this year.
Update: Due to the expected high temperatures this evening, dress shorts that are at least at mid-thigh or longer in length are appropriate attire for boys this evening.
The Academic Awards Ceremony takes place on Tuesday, May 29, at 6:30 p.m. in the Athletic Center. The event will be webcast, so we hope you are able to join us in celebrating the year’s achievements. Families are reminded that the school will be photographing the event so they can enjoy the ceremony without worrying about taking their own pictures. Please note that this is a required event for all students, and dress is formal (school day plus: no jeans or sneakers).
It’s hard to believe that the final week is here! We are excited to support you as you put the finishing touches on the trimester’s work.
The Writing Center will be open every evening this week for study hall (7:45 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.). We will be open during the day by appointment only, so please email me to make a time.
Congratulations on the many pages you have written this year!
Finish strong!
As the end of the school year draws near and you start packing to head home please be on the lookout for any plates, glasses or flatware that may be attempting to stowaway in your luggage in hopes of finding greener pastures beyond the hallowed walls of Williston. The more that are returned to the dining hall the easier and more efficiently we will be able to serve the many guests we expect to see over Commencement and Reunion Weekend.
Thanks for your help in this matter,
