Wonderful Whirlwind Weekend (Part 1)

The Commons Ball: A Real-Life Fairy Tale

It’s Been a Few Weeks Since Bid Day And….
Feb. 13, 2015—Can’t picture Bid Day? Imagine this: flower headbands, face paint, tutus, yelling, blaring music, jumping, and hugging people you’re meeting for the first time. Although it seems like months since over 500 girls sat anxiously on their bid cards in the Student Learning Center (which was its own type of cruel and unusual punishment), it’s...

Feb. 12, 2015—This past weekend, I channeled my inner nature-child, joining WilSkills for a backpacking trip.
