Senior High

SENIOR HIGH ‘12      Feb. -  March 4
As if there wasn’t enough reason to look forward to February (Valentines Day, a three day weekend for Presidents’ Day, the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday Feb. 22, my personal favorite being today’s celebration of Ground Hogs Day, and for those who enjoy football, of course, the Super Bowl), we have another incredible day which is a total gift - Feb. 29!  A whole extra 24 hours added this Leap Year to a month that is (in my humble opinion) always feeling a little slighted by its lack of days in comparison to its 11 other calendar companions!  And the way 2012 is flying by, believe me, I need that additional day, so here’s to Leap Year and a fabulous February for all!
     
Please review the Calendar of Events for February to March 4, and save this sheet until March 7 when your next update will be mailed!  The latest information is always posted on Westminster’s website at www.westprespdx.org/youth/sr.high.
