Scrip Orders Due Sunday
From the Counseling Department
On August 23-25, Dr. Loving and Ms. Forquer will host College Boot Camp for rising seniors. This optional, fee-based summer program is designed to provide students a space and time to complete their Common and/or Coalition Application (or other application of their choice) before the school year starts. Students should leave College Boot Camp with at least one essay in completed draft form.
The cost for this three-day program is $50. (Fee waivers are available.) To register, visit the same website where you pay your school fees/dues between May 7 and June 11. After submitting your payment, please commit to the morning session (9 a.m.-noon) or afternoon session (1-4 p.m.) here. The Counseling Department has received feedback that some students would like this event to be in-person; we will discuss this possibility in the week ahead and will provide an update.

News from the Library: One Small Step Conversations Are Complete
Congratulations to the 40 Dragons who were among the first high school students in the nation to participate in One Small Step, a StoryCorps project that invites people with contrasting political views to engage in respectful, candid conversations about who they are and the experiences that have shaped them. Students discussed a wide range of topics while treating each other with respect, empathy, and compassion.
Audio recordings of these conversations, which range from a half-hour to two hours, will be archived at the Library of Congress. Some students chose to set their recordings to private, while others chose to share them more openly. Here’s a link to one of the conversations, between junior Pooja Muthuraj and senior Elizabeth Celentano.
