Does anyone know what today is? If not, go take a peek at your calendar. Yep, it’s the first official day of summer and boy let’s hope this weather gets better. It feels a bit like April at times, rather than June, but from what I’ve heard we’re finally in for some warm, clear weather these next couple of months! Here in the Enrollment Center, we don’t get the summer off like most of our students. Instead we get plan some of the awesome events we have coming up before the official 2010-2011 school year starts and let me tell you, we’re all getting pretty excited for what is to come!
So it’s summer now, which means you’ll be outside a lot more, which means you should probably come enjoy the summer weather at Ben Fest! Matt mentioned in the previous post all about our festivities on June 27th, and I’m encouraging all students, current and prospective to come out to Benedictine! It’s going to be a great time including an Alumni/Student picnic and an evening of the Beatles-tribute band “The Fab Four.” It’s going to be a rockin’ good time, so come on out and give us your best Ferris Bueller’s “Twist and Shout” impressions. You can still find tickets and more information at the following link: http://www.ben.edu/news/events/BenFest/index.asp
Choreographed dance routines with leopard-print vests are encouraged
Also, since we’re on the topic of summer events…have you attended Benedictine Beginnings yet? We have two dates left, so be sure to sign up for either July 10th or July 31st, if you haven’t already attended. The events are filled with information sessions for both parents and students, hear from of our current students, visit with prospective students and get a free lunch. If you would like to sign up, please visit the following link: http://www.ben.edu/admissions/livethelife/ Please be advised, this event is designed for admitted fall students only!! Seniors, we’re going to have an event coming up for you soon…so stick around, more blog posts to follow.
Editor’s Note: The day this blog was originally written was June 21st, hence the relevance of the first day of summer. I know this makes almost no sense now, but for my sake, just go with it.
