Week 6-7

Week 7

Our Mid-Winter Break is already over! Luckily, I got to see you guys during the break. Our Starbucks studying was a lot of fun. This week I'm looking forward to helping you guys Finally wrap up financial aid applications. You're almost there! This week will be a little relaxed since we just came back from break and Skedula has been down...so I can't check your grades. Here are some pictures of our Starbucks meeting! In other news, there's a science fair after school on Thursday, and Isabel will have her own table there.



Featuring: Lovtin, Isabel, and Ariela

Week 6

During our break, we had a really great time! After studying at Starbucks, those of us that were still there went over to an interesting Vietnamese restaurant. Following that, we visited a park and had a lot of fun on the swings. Sometimes the best things in life are simple.

Weeks 1-5

Week 1


Our first week together has come and gone so quickly! 

The college office had some soft rumbles of curiosity as one or two of the SEAD students dropped by throughout the first few days. I'm so excited as to what our time together will be like! I didn't happen to catch any photos of them this time (they move so quickly). More updates to come soon as we move through our week.


Week 2

Settled into our second week together, I'm earning more smiles from the SEAD students with food. A congratulations goes out to Lovtin Rivera! His robotics team placed in a competition over the weekend. Soon to come will be our first event! I'm thinking a set of museum visits would be great!
Here we have our first paparazzi shot of Kat and Isabel (beanie) working after school

Week 3


Happy Regents week everyone! The lovely students are now enjoying the benefits of being seniors, and are taking the chance to catch up on some well deserved rest. Here is a photo from Friday's dinner. It was a celebratory event for students who had received college acceptances!

Week 4

Welcome back friends! This week is going to be a little slow as we transition into a new term. Hopefully there are no major scheduling errors. As we submit the last round of college applications and financial documents, you will finally (hopefully) have some sense of peace as you send off the paper airplane and wait to see how it lands. Convoluted metaphors aside, here are some photos of Ariela and Isabel enjoying take out in the library (technically breaking the rules, but hey, it's after school!)



Week 5

I can't believe my time with you guys is already half-way over! To make things even worse, we're leading into a week long break </3
Luckily, we'll have plenty of time to actually do things outside of school. BCSM keeps you guys pretty busy with work, so we'll have to make sure to take advantage of the break. I'm hoping to take you guys to the museum of your choice, the movies, a comic book store (for those interested), and much more! Let me know if you have any ideas as well. Our motto for this week is "Power through". It's important to stay focused this week so that you can fully enjoy your break!
