Over the past week, high school counselor Mrs. Krogh has been meeting virtually with students for their 2020-2021 course registration. In the midst of staying on task and giving our best in distance learning, it is good to think about next year and hope for the future! We asked Everest teachers to rank the top ten things they are looking forward to in 2020-2021.
#10: Giving real tests and quizzes.
#9: Writing on a white board.
#8: Clubs and specialty classes.
#7: Grading papers rather than electronic submissions.
#6: Snacks in the faculty and staff lounge. (Maria Mellis cookies, monthly potlucks, etc.)
#5: Normal schedule and prep hours.
#4: Sports and athletics
#3: Teaching live rather than via video.
#2: Masses in the chapel.
#1: Students in the classroom.
