Spring showers are providing green fairways and lots of early flowers. The lilacs are getting ready to bloom. Things should be beautiful for graduation, which is just over three weeks away. It is great to see the students out on the golf course and playing fields each afternoon, although I am often jealous as I would like to be out with them.
The good news is that the campus remains very healthy, perhaps healthier than it has been all year! With all the awareness about H1N1 and precautionary measures that we have taken, we have very few people even with colds. Unfortunately, a small number of students have chosen to leave early due to concerns about possible border closures, but the significant majority are hard at work, preparing to finish the year in high style. In the last couple of days, there have also been a number of students who had intended to leave but have now decided to stay as we have learned more about the disease and it is has proved less virulent than initially expected.
Spring is a very busy time. There are all sorts of interesting WOW projects and presentations going on. Mrs. Blair is starting to meet with students about course placement for next year, and Mr. Ward and the college counselors are getting the juniors geared up for their college search. There are games and athletic contests almost every day. It's a wonderful time to be at Winchendon!
