Senior successes

It's senior project presentation week here at the high school, as students take all the hard work they've put into their topics these past several months and speak about it in front of a panel of judges.

Because of the projects, seniors have been rushing in and out of our room perfecting their PowerPoint slides, printing their mission statements and letters to the judges, and polishing their words for their moment in the spotlight. They are nervous and excited.

In the Bridging Cultures classroom, we've been seeing these students come in and lending them index cards and advice. And every day, a few of them return with a smile of relief and a button declaring "I Survived Senior Projects."

It's an exciting time for seniors, as they are almost done with classes and many of them have plans set for the fall and beyond. We help them with their housing deposits and Stafford loan promissory notes and even questions about their classes, as Amy did with her workshop on college academics yesterday afternoon. After this, there will be a number of senior events coming up, including graduation on June 16. We will be there.
