It is very quiet in St. Joseph's Hall. 25 students are completing their homework for today. There is a faint hum of brilliant minds at work!
Right after class today, we went to Garvin Heights to see the view and then down to the lakes for some games and a dodge-ball-water-fight. We were joined by several SMU students and the Tadie Family. (Always be on August's team--that kid is FAST!) There was lots of laughing and joking. After our picnic dinner, we walked over to Lakeview for ice cream. Now, I am from Chicago, and I don't know of any place that does a soft-serve cone like Lakeview. It was DELICIOUS! It was also Karokee and Cars Under the Stars Night. We *almost* got Ms. Greer to channel Whitney Houston, but we had to come back for study hall! The camp won't end until Ms. Greer sings "I Will Always Love You"!
Our study hall will last for an hour and then Ms. Marisol Salazar is leading a discussion on the importance of vocabulary. Then it will be close to 10:30 so just enough time to clean up and get some sleep. (Please pray for sleepy kids! HA!)
Thanks for reading!
Ms. Donohue
Countdown to College is an academic program for rising high school students, and it takes place at Saint Mary's University in Winona, MN. Students from Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Racine and Tucson attended academic classes as well as activities during a two-week camp. This blog documents all the good times for the Class of 2014!
The prayers have been full force since our children departed and placed in your hands. Thank you for keeping us informed. :))God Bless you all an keep You awake HA HA HA
