THe sun is out
Spring is here! The cherry trees are blooming in gorgeous bundles of white and pink blossoms, the sun is peeking its fiery head from behind the clouds, and people are flooding the parks by the dozens. How do you plan on making the most of your spring season this year-- hanging out with friends and family? Maybe you are getting your tan on in the sun? Or are you doing some gardening? The possibilities seem endless! Prom, graduation and fun senior activities are right around the corner. While it is tempting to want to switch your brain into summer vacation mode, don't forget to work hard to end the year strong! If you are in AP classes, make sure you are studying for those AP tests in May.
There are only two issues of The Scroll left this year. If you want to submit any of your creative labors, now is the time to do it. If you are more of a reader than a creator, then stay tuned until the end of the year for more articles detailing the multitude of community events across the summer months! Thank you to all the continued support and engagement in every issue. The Scroll puts countless hours into every issue in order to create a platform for student voice to be heard. Much love, and as always--
Thanks for Scrolling!
