Year End

Well, here we are--the end of the school year!  The 21st Century Lounge enjoyed an excellent first year at the new MHS site.  This year, several students recovered credit for many courses (and a few seniors will hopefully drop off the last of their assignments today!:)  Games of pool, air hockey, foosball, and ping pong have been both won and lost.  Late work or other homework has been caught up or completed.  The bean bags are now broken in and the Xbox has watched lots of students jump around in front of it!  We enjoyed parent events with good food and an opportunity to meet families.  All in all, this has been a fantastic year!  We have eaten snacks, been academic, and been enriched in some way every day for the past eight months.  We even completed our Harry Potter movie marathon.  And so, as the year draws to its close, I hope all our participants have felt the taste of success as they have worked academically.  I hope they've been enriched socially and mentally.  And I hope they are ready to have an excellent summer and then come back with renewed determination in the fall.  As for the seniors...best of luck to you in whatever you pursue.  Thanks to all for a fantastic year in the 21st Century after school program!
