Open House was amazing, a full house with standing room only. I love to watch the UC students interact with prospective students and their parents Our kids are so genuine, sharing their own personal experiences here at UC. And, since Open House, the “Freshman for a Day” program is off and running with excited 8th graders coming in daily to spend the day with one of our freshman. Today a parent was dropping off their 8th grader for “freshman for a day” and was watching our student put on UCTV and said, “the high school experience has so much to offer now, it makes me want to come and spend the day”. Yes, high school is a whole new world and UC is an exciting place to learn.
Having a freshman son in the building myself has helped me get an inside look of what their day is like. Of course I think I am going to give Coach McCabe, our Cross Country team coach, a list of things I need DJ to do because what ever “coach says” goes! As a parent I am thrilled to see the discipline, drive and sportsmanship that coach instills in the team, but more importantly, it is wonderful to see the older students welcome a freshman to the team. Not only are they Conference Champs, they had fun getting there – that’s a great combination!
I will be leaving on Friday for Williamsburg Virginia with 100 of our Juniors and Seniors . Mrs. Palenik, the trip coordinator, has a full weekend planned - I will fill you in next week – let’s hope for good weather!
