ASB replaces shadow program with Meet A Monarch
Due to the current pandemic, the Scarlet Ambassador and Alumni & Advancement commissions have started a weekly zoom call called Meet A Monarch to replace the shadow program for the fall semester. Potential students attend a zoom meeting with four ASB commissioners and one moderator and are given the opportunity to ask any questions they might have about what it is like to attend the school. The commissioners discuss topics on campus life, electives, athletics, academics, and performing arts.
Weight room welcomes athletes during school day
Athletes are now allowed to weight lift before or after school, depending on when their team is scheduled. Rather than the block class schedule, teams are given time slots throughout the week where they lift for an hour. The student athletes are then given the option to either leave campus or stay under the Bristol parking lot tents if they have a.m. lifting and p.m. classes.
Counseling hosts college application workshops
Due to the pandemic many seniors cannot be called in by their counselors to ask questions regarding college applications. For the last two weeks and for the remainder of October, the school counselors have been hosting workshops on Wednesdays for the senior class to work on their applications, allowing this time to be one for students to ask questions and get the help they need. The next session will be this Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
