Spring has sprung and what a semester it's been! We've hustled and bustled our way through the past five months here at City College of San Francisco, but we've made it to the end with a bang! Let's shake off those winter blues and bask in the energy of springtime.

Thank you for joining us on this wild ride and for reading our newsletters. We hope you felt the joy and excitement that came with celebrating all the events we had, from the blooming of the cherry blossoms to the vibrant St. Patrick's Day festivities. We also hope you enjoyed discovering all the exciting announcements and getting more connected with your student council.

As we reach the halfway point of this semester, let's take a moment to cherish the memories we've made together so far and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead. Happy spring, and here's to making the most of the rest of the semester!

What is Unity Day?

In Case you missed it...

Unity Day is a highly anticipated school event that takes place every semester, offering an exciting array of fun games and activities. From karaoke and club fairs to resource centers and performances, there's never a dull moment. With free food provided at every event, rain or shine, the festivities always carry on. This semester's Unity Day was an outstanding success, with a turnout of over 200 enthusiastic students eager to participate in the activities and even take home some amazing prizes.

Women's History Month! 

The origins of Women’s history month started in the Bay Area! In 1978, a Santa Clara teacher named Molly Murphy MacGregor led a "Women's History Week" celebration for Sonoma County. This week built off of March 8 which is International Women's Day. After the Santa Clara event, other communities were inspired and soon a National Women's History Week was declared. Eventually this led to March being dedicated for Women's History Month.

April Horoscope

According to Sally Brompton, New York Post

Aries 

You are not the sort to watch every word you say but if you are smart you will think twice before pointing out to others where they have been going wrong. They are well aware of their mistakes and don’t need you to labor the point.

Taurus

It would be nice to believe that everyone is as honest and trustworthy as you are but you know that isn’t true. If you want others to follow your standards and principles today you will most likely be disappointed, so lower your expectations a bit.

Cancer

Someone in a position of authority is keen to see how you handle yourself when the pressure is on and will put you to the test today. Now you’ve had your heads-up you can prepare yourself mentally and emotionally to put on an inspiring show.

Gemini

You may be finding a task you thought would be simple a lot tougher than expected but don’t give up on it. According to the planets you are at the halfway point now, so you might as well carry on to the end. It should get easier soon.

Leo

You will do something today that leaves even those who know you well open-mouthed with astonishment. Life has a been a bit too tame for your liking of late, so stir things up and see where it leads. You’ll have a good laugh if nothing else.

Virgo

If a friend or colleague makes you a tempting offer today you must give yourself plenty of time – 24 hours at least – to think it over. If they try to rush you into making a decision that’s a sure sign it might be wise to give it a miss.

April Horoscope

According to Sally Brompton, New York Post

Libra

The planets warn if you let too many people know what you are aiming to do then one or more of them might try to scupper your plans. Deal with others on a need to know basis today – and the fact is most of them don’t.

Scorpio

If you owe a friend a favor this would be a good day to pay it off. Go out of your way to help them and don’t measure what you do for them by what they did for you – a small act of kindness counts as much as a big one.

Sagittarius

The Sun in the most dynamic area of your chart helps you believe that all things are possible but don’t get carried away. If you bite off more than you can chew today you could end up choking, so be smart and take smaller mouthfuls of life!

Capricorn

Be honest about how you feel today, because if you give others the impression that everything is fine they may continue to do things that upset you. The world at large may think you are tough but you have your sensitive side like everyone else.

Aquarius 

It’s not like you to let self-doubt hold you back but today’s Mercury-Pluto link will have you thinking the worst about a situation that nine times out of ten would not worry you in the slightest. Maybe that’s good, maybe you do need to give it more thought. 

Pisces 

You must be even-handed in situations where there are competing and clashing ambitions. Use your talent for bringing people together to get everyone round a table to discuss their differences, and make sure they all feel free to have their say.

Holidays
highlights of the ones you may have missed

Global Day of Unplugging 3/1

St. Patricks Day 3/16

St. Patrick's Day, celebrated annually on March 17th, is a fun and festive holiday that honors the patron saint of Ireland and brings people together to celebrate Irish culture and heritage.
