Senior Retreat

On Monday, March 27, the senior class along with some faculty members traveled to the Sandy Cove Retreat Center in North East, MD in place of the Senior Retreat that was cancelled the first week of March. The students participated in fun activities, bonded in small groups, heard stories from their peers and faculty members, and discussed the Black and Gold Award. The retreat was only one day due to the change of date.

FCA Meeting

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes met on Tuesday at 7 a.m. in the Brown Room. During this meeting, they participated in prayer and shared Chick-fil-A and other breakfast foods. They also competed in games, and the winners received prizes.

Preserve the Birds 5k

For her senior project, Taylor Brewer hosted a 5k on the JC cross country course Saturday, April 1. The money that was raised from this event was donated to Eden Mill’s Bluebird and Wood Duck preservation. Brewer chose this project because she has a personal connection to Eden Mill. “I go to Eden Mill every summer to kayak and paddle board. I wanted to give back to them,” Brewer said.
