Now that the fourth quarter is underway, the celebrations and exciting events are starting to happen with greater frequency. It was wonderful to see seniors involved in the #InspireVirginia presentation on April 26th, and all of the seniors who registered to vote. Also, we enjoyed welcoming Ms. Leigh Williams from James Madison University as she spoke with our seniors who will be a part of their class of 2020. The AVID Senior Recognition ceremony was beautiful, but also bittersweet as we prepare to say goodbye.
With all of these events already occurring, we know that there are many more to come, and so it is extremely important that you are scheduling your time effectively, and staying on top of your work because the next 49 days are going to fly by!
Here are a few more things to add to your personal calendar, including AP Testing which starts on Monday…

Don’t Let a Deficiency Derail Your Graduation Plans
Seniors, the list of deficiencies is everywhere, and Ms. Lynah (School Treasurer) is more than willing to meet with you to discuss your status. Please do not delay another day in getting this taken care of so that you can fully enjoy the major senior events coming your way in the next few months. This is an exciting time, and not worth missing due to not clearing up your account.
Finally, as you prepare for decision day on May 1st, we found this quote to sum up one of the best decisions that each and everyone of us can make…
