We want to extend a GIANT thank you to all of you who have gifted countless hours of their time to make this week a reality. It's a true community effort, and we are deeply grateful. Special thank you to Tamara Jenkins, Stacey Kolthammer, Chelsea Duggan, Amy Haggerty, and Barbara Hinde for their tireless, passionate efforts on behalf of the entire experience!
Adding to the magic, I've had the pleasure of running into former students who are now presenters. They've shared with me how profoundly FOCUS impacted them as high schoolers, opening a window into possibilities they hadn't imagined. They deliberately return to share their expertise, which speaks volumes about the power of this program (yes, this does make me feel old, as well!).
Please take some time to ask your students about their favorite session or something that surprised them about themselves during FOCUS. We'd love for you to share in their experiences.
Next week, we transition to a different kind of focus as our students will be taking the ACT and pre-ACT. Seniors, we hope you enjoy this brief moment to recharge and shake off any lingering senioritis, returning stronger and more motivated.
For all students taking the ACT and Pre-ACT, our best advice is: breathe, get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, do your best, and leave the stress with the test.
We are so proud of our students and their dedication to both the arts and their academic pursuits. Thank you for your continued support!
Thank you for sharing your students with us today and beyond,
Holly
