Bye Eastie!

Total bittersweet moment now thinking that the end of my time has come with East Boston High School. The East Boston scholars are phenomenal students and people. I am really excited to see where they go to college and how they continue to flourish and grow. They are all in the final stretch and really trying to end on a strong note. Keep up the good work and best of luck to them all and I will miss you!

Happy Graduation!!!

Quiet Week

It's been a pretty quiet week this past week as the internship is winding down. Last week the students had the chance to go to Dave and Busters with myself and the Raymond intern, Jake. Pam showed up and we had a blast winning tickets and prizes. We played Wheel of Fortune, Zombie Apocalypse, Dance Dance Revolution and many other games until we were sweating and our arms sore. The food at Dave and Busters was awesome and put us all in a food coma.

In news about school many of the students are making strides to bring up there grades and maintain good ones. Special shout out to Ke'Andre for bringing up his AP Calculus grade. In the field of drams a shout out to Alex (and her drama club) who debuted her play with the rest of the drama club. Although they didn't not win their competition they did a phenomenal job and should be quite proud.

Finally a big shout out to Jakara who has finished her high school education and thus graduated early! Great work girl!!!!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back Eastie to another warm week of academic success!!! We had a lot of achievements this week but first for the recap.

During break a few of the students and myself gathered to see Deadpool at Showcase in Revere. The students thoroughly enjoyed the reclining seats and the funnel cake, popcorn and hot dogs.

Yesterday we had news of college admissions for Ke'Andre, Miguel and JP so huge CONGRATULATIONS to them!!

Coming up tomorrow myself and the Raymond intern are taking the students to Dave and Busters for early dinner and games! We are really looking forward to it as are many of the students.

The term is wrapping up for me the SEAD intern so hoping all students have enjoyed spending time with me and SEAD!!

It's Break Time!!

Hey Guys!
I hope that everyone is having a good break so far! Want everyone to rest up and be prepared to crank out scholarship applications when you get back to school!!!! Yaaaayyyy.

Shout out to some of the SEAD scholars who were recognized by the school on Friday. Congratulations to DENISE and ALEX who got awards for attendance and Honor Roll!!! Great job girls!

This Friday I am taking some SEAD students to see the new superhero movie Deadpool at the Regal Fenway Stadium. The time is still to be decided but will text the students the time tomorrow.

If any students are doing scholarship applications now and need me to look over their essays do not be afraid to sent them to me!

Rest up!

Let It Snow!

Hello Eastie!!!

Welcome back to school! We have a very long weekend with two snow days on Friday and Monday. Many of the students had a relaxing weekend resting in bed or hanging out with friends while the snow fell.

The school is having a short week followed by February Vacation next week. In the next two weeks there are a couple of fun events that the SEAD students have the opportunity to engage in. 

   1) February 19th is a trip to see the new movie Deadpool!!!

Looking forward to an fun filled two weeks!

P.S. Report cards ought to be out today! Best of luck everyone on your grades and lets start off this next quarter strong!!!

I am so proud of the incredibly gifted scholars of East Boston High School!

First off congratulations are in order to Miguel for getting into Curry College!!! The entire SEAD team is very proud of him.

The SEAD students have all finished up their first Semester strong and have started their new classes with much enthusiasm. Tomorrow I will be taking a few students to the movies to see the new Star Wars film at 4 pm and dinner to follow. It promises to be a fun evening!

Final Count Down!

The end of Quarter 1 has finally come and the seniors are buckling down for the final stretch. Many of the students are working to makeup assignments and and study for their final exams. I am hosting tutoring sessions during this week for all students to make sure that they finish all their assignments and have adequate time to study for their finals.

Shout out to Jakara who has really kicked butt and pulled up her grades substantially. GO GIRL!

The students are in the final throws of completing all FASFA and CSS profiles and although many of them are tired of the college application process they are really finishing up strong. I am really proud of the work that all the students are doing, they are really putting their best foot forward.

Many of the students are looking forward to the the small reunion myself and the Raymond Intern are planning at Dave and Busters the weekend of February 20th.
