May 2012
I looked in the mirror this morning and I thought “It’s MAY!” Can you believe it’s May already? When I was younger May was so important to me because it is the month I was born and it meant that school was almost over. As we set our site on the culmination of the school year, graduation, we work diligently, daily, to make sure that we finish the 2011-2012 school year in a strong fashion. We also look ahead to next school year and the many new faces we will have on both sides of the desks. May is a very busy month as our calendar indicates:
May 1 Senior Class meeting, Amazing Race, Day of Caring and Sharing
May 2 Junior Class meeting, Cap and Gown Delivery, Student Government trip
Spring Choral Concert
May 3 Lip Dub video filmed at school
May 4 No School, Prom and After Prom

May 14 Senior Dinner
May 18 Honor Day, Graduation practice
May 21 Finals period 2 and 4
May 22 Finals period 6 and 8
May 23 Finals period 1 and 3
May 24 Finals period 5 and 7, last day for students
May 25 Teacher record day, teacher last day
June 3 Baccalaureate, Commencement
Years ago, I wanted May to “go fast” to get to my birthday and then get to the end of the school year. Times have changed and so has my opinion of May. When I see the older man in the mirror, and I know it’s May, I want the time to go slow. We have much to do before the end of school and adding one more year to my age is not as fun as it used to be.
Sincerely,
