What abeautiful week we had! With the timechange, I almost didn’t know what to do with that extra daylight! Hope everyone had a chance to enjoy theoutdoors this week!

We had asuccessful and productive seminar last Saturday on how to prepare your childrenfor college, and more. Several parentscame out of the seminar panicking. Didyou know that colleges look at everything starting in the 8thgrade? Really, I thought I didn’t haveto start the college prep process until they were in the 11th grade… what a bummer! J I learned a lot from theseminar! We have 11 students signed upfor the pilot course, which consists of 10 sessions (Saturdays from 11am to 12pm). After this pilot, we will collect feedbackfrom the parents and students to evaluate the course for future sessions. The seminar also included information on awonderful opportunity for a summer program in China. Missed the seminar? No worries, check it out on our New and Improved website! nwcsny.org,under Recent News!

With all thatsun this week, my twins’ school sent home a note reminding/suggesting/demandingthat the kids (all 5th graders, not just my twins) practice properhygiene including the use of deodorants … I guess with the sun, comes thesweat! My twins asked “do we still haveto take a shower …”

One of ourboard members, Cindy Huang, will be introducing some healthy and delicioussummer shakes at the Breakfast club (good timing, who doesn’t need to shed somepounds before putting on those summer outfits). Please come visit and check it out! Proceeds go to NWCS, of course! J

Severalparents asked me about the school calendar because of the upcoming Springrecess. The calendar is posted on our New and Improved website, nwcsny.org (I know, I sound like abroken record, but being a mom gives me lots of practice). We plan our calendar based on the hostingschool’s calendar, so there will be no school on Saturday, April 7th. Please plan accordingly. Thank you!

See youtomorrow! Classes start at 9amsharp. Please be on time.
