Spring is here and so is fourth quarter! This is the last quarter of the 2013-14 school year and students are excited for summer. With school coming to an end, there is a lot to still get done.

Prom is right around the corner for the juniors and seniors. Themed "Great Gatsby," the prom committee has purchased themed decorations that include the Gatsby mansion, the iconic Gatsby car, and more.

Each table that the students will be sitting at has been named after a character. Everyone is getting excited and dresses, tuxes and tickets have been purchased. In two weeks, on April 16, students will be arriving at the Hotel Bethlehem dressed up and ready for a great night. Then right after that the school is on Spring Break until April 21. Then it is back to work and ready to finish up the school year.

This coming week, to show our school spirit, the high school will be taking part in spirit week. Days include career day, tie-dye day, Where's Waldo, class colors and cultural day. Students will come to school each day dressed down to the correspondent theme and show off their school spirit.

Also coming up, the school will be hosting a talent show. The talent show is being run by seniors Mauria Febbraro and Melanie Roth. Students are signing up and are preparing to show off their talent to their fellow classmates and their families.

With the school year winding down, it has come the time for the seniors to begin preparing for the IB exams that will be in the first week of May. Classes are finishing up the curriculum requirements and teachers will begin reviewing content that was covered from both 11th and 12th grade to prepare them for the tests. In addition to the exams, students are finishing their Internal Assessments, which are required by each subject along with a 4,000-word extended essay and 150 hours of community service that are required to graduate.

The sophomores have been busy with finishing up their personal projects – a requirement to pass. For these projects, students were to find an area that interested them and then had the opportunity to research and/or create a project on it. In the past, students have held fundraisers for certain organizations, organized sports clubs and more.

It is a great opportunity for students to show what they are capable of as well as doing something to help others.
