Residential Life Update – April 25, 2024

April 25, 2024

Welcome Back from April Break!

After a full and much-needed April break, we are back into a busy academic and athletic calendar. In addition to their regular academic curriculum, students are preparing for Advanced Placement (AP) exams. This can be a rigorous and stressful time, and we encourage students to take breaks outside and get plenty of rest.

Before the break, a number of ResLife students were recognized for their outstanding effort in their art classes; Margaret and Violet Duong, Liz Hau and Henry Dang. We look forward to the opening of the Annual Student Art Show, where many of our students will display their work. Stay tuned for those photos! Additionally, Coco De Dios Sanchez was awarded a spirit award, as well as March’s Senior Class Student of the Month. Congratulations to these students for their accomplishments- we are so proud of you!

In addition to a busy athletic season (we have 14 student athletes), students are also preparing for concerts with various ensembles: Concert Band, Concert Choir, Wind Ensemble, The Lincolnaires, and the Jazz Band all include members of the ResLife community. Concert season begins this Sunday, and we will be in the audience, celebrating their success!

Moving forward, we are preparing for a busy end-of year season. This includes preparations for prom, senior week activities, and graduation events. Please refer to this document for details about senior week. The ResLife office will be providing support to students who are attending prom and need access to stores and services to make that event a memorable one.

Be well and take care,

Monica Tan

Director of Residential Life
