Senior App Fest
NDCL seniors got a jump on college by participating in the school’s sixth annual App Fest in the new Sister of Notre Dame Learning Commons. Sponsored by NDCL’s Office of College, Counseling and Support Services, App Fest gives seniors the opportunity to work with school counselors and recent NDCL alumni to learn tips on how to complete their college applications and craft a compelling college essay.
“We were thrilled to have 95 students take advantage of App Fest. Knowing this three-day program will alleviate time and stress in the coming months, they made the most of the help offered,” Rachel Siegel, director of counseling, shared. “In addition, 17 representatives from colleges and universities such as The Ohio State University, Dayton University, University of South Carolina, Ohio University and John Carroll University offered advice and instruction on the admission process to our forward-thinking seniors.”
Getting Ready for School
While not every teenager likes to see summer come to an end, several NDCL students are jumping into the new year even before the school bell has rung. In fact, NDCL is bustling with activity. Student council representatives have met to plan the year’s activities and decorate the halls in welcome of the year.
Link Crew leaders, a student mentoring program, are team-building. Seniors are making their class mark on “Senior Rock” and the marching band has already performed at Lion Stadium.
Classes begin on Aug. 16, but the 2016-2017 school year is in well underway.
