SUMMER!

Tuesday, February 20, 2007
Yea, I know. There's SNOW outside and it's cold.

But, summer is coming and with it, summer UB - UB's college training camp.

Paperwork is in the mail (unless you or your parent got one at the February Saturday event) and it's due back on March 1.

Here are some tantalizing details:

Move in on Sunday, June 17. We'll be in Trow again this summer - right in the middle of campus and convenient to everything.

Monday, June 18, classes will start but this summer, but the first day will be an orientation day - get to know where your classes are, who your teachers are, what they will expect from you, how to do meals with UB, etc.

This summer, there will be a new class to replace the college lecture series. It's a study skills workshop designed to hone and polish your reading, note-taking, time management, stress management and other skills. This class is for rising 10th and 11th graders. Seniors will learn all this and much much more in the Senior Seminar.

Another change this summer: all supervised study sessions will take place during the day. And arts electives have been replaced by optional arts and recreation opportunities.

Be sure you get your paperwork completed and turned in by March 1. More soon.
