For exciting news this week, it is almost the end of the third quarter of the school year! This year has been going quickly and with the halfway point of second semester and the start of spring break approaching, it can be very exciting to realize how summer will be here soon. There are some exciting things coming up to end the quarter as well as things that will be coming up in the fourth quarter to end the semester, so here are some things to look forward to.
For juniors, ACTs are done so no more stress to prepare for tests! Students should still focus on their studies with finals and tests in school to ensure high grades, but the weeks of Methodize test prep have come to an end and students did great with the ACT. There were zero complications and Tremper is proud of the Junior class for making it through the ACT. For those taking the SAT, make sure to study to be prepared and do the best you can and Tremper will be full of support. Freshman and sophomores will have their PreACT next week, so make sure to keep preparing to do the best you can on the big day to keep practicing for the real test Junior year. Juniors and seniors enjoy the day off and good luck to freshman and sophomores!
The Blood Drive has also come to an end, meaning one of the biggest events of the year is done to add some relaxation to those in Student Government. The Blood Drive was a success with collecting six hundred three pints of blood, which is the most collected since COVID and will help save hundreds of lives. Everyone in Student Government did a great job preparing for the drive, especially Tori Keckler, Arrien Narula, and Gianna Martin who have worked hard to make sure everything was ready for the big day, and with its success, Tremper is very proud of their hard work. This means the next big events will most likely be working with Senior Convocation and Graduation, so the end of the year is approaching faster than one thinks and it can be an exciting time with celebrating the seniors.
In terms of firsts, the junior’s first prom is also coming up soon! John Fitzgerald, Ally Shores, and Emily Giese have been working hard to plan this year’s Prom and have come up with the theme Golden Hour, which will be an amazing and beautiful night to remember. Dress shopping has begun and plans are starting to get made, meaning prom king and queen will start to appear in the mindsets of the Junior class. Everyone is super excited for this year’s prom to dance the night away and hangout with friends as they celebrate a great school year with hopefully nice spring weather, so a fun and memorable night is excitingly being awaited.
Finally, there are many fun things that are starting with the end of the quarter, including Bleak Expectations, the spring Tremper Theater production. The show’s rehearsals started last week and it is bound to be a good show with an amazing cast. The NHS induction will also be coming up soon for new members, so exciting recognition and celebration for Tremper Students will be anticipated, including elections for the new officers for the 2024-2025 school year. Spring events are also bound to spring up, especially with NHS service hour opportunities.
Therefore, enjoy the spring days as the year begins to come to an end. Spring break is in less than two weeks so make the most of the last few days of quarter three and enjoy the couple weeks off from school!
