I'm here!

Hello everyone,

My first full week has begun, and I'm really enjoying meeting students and staff here at EBHS and exploring the wonderful neighborhood of Eastie!

The spectacular Eastie view


 We've got a couple great events coming up this week. On WEDNESDAY, I will be hosting a pizza lunch in the library conference room to get to know everyone better! I will be there during both first and third lunches.

On FRIDAY, I will be taking students to a National College Fair at the Boston Convention Center. This is a great chance to meet representatives from all kinds of schools across the US, not just local ones. I highly encourage students to attend! There will be an option to have lunch with me after the fair.

And on Friday evening, I will be joining students at their Junior Prom as a chaperone! I can't wait to see everybody all dressed up.

This week's shout-out goes to... DENISE! Denise came in just to chat with me this afternoon, and we ended up having a fantastic discussion about college. We looked at her College Greenlight account and several college websites to keep working on her list of schools. We talked about how Denise could pursue her love of art and photography while also studying other subjects at a liberal arts college or university, rather than attending an arts school. Denise also found some cool ways that she can get involved with art museums and photo galleries in Boston next year. Way to take the initiative, Denise!

That's all for now! Lots of pictures and updates to come. Have a great week :)
