    July 4th:  School will be closed in observance of Independence Day.

     Free Summer Audiobooks Program for Teens - SYNC:  Teens can get two free book downloads per week.  Visit www.audiobooksync.com.  Titles change every Thursday at 7 AM.  Books are available for 7 days only for download. Once downloaded, they are yours to keep.

     AP Summer Assignments:  Some teachers require summer work while others do not.  This week, we got information from teachers of the following courses and posted that information online in the Academics section.   Under Academics, go to Advanced Placement and then RHS AP Courses.  The courses that have information are AP English Lang, AP English Lit, AP Music Theory, AP Studio Art, AP Calculus AB-BC and AP Statistics, AP Biology, AP Physics, AP European History, AP Human Geography,  AP Psychology, AP US History, AP World History, and AP Spanish.  Work may or may not be required, but clarity about the work has been posted.

    Senior Portraits:  Remember that we will have portraits/packages taken on site the week of July 30th.  There will be two different sitting fee types which will be explained in the letter: either $15 or $25.  When the students are here, they will take some combination of the tux/drape, cap and gown, indoor informal or outdoor informal.  The letter will explain more.

    There will be tux/drape makeups during the school year for seniors, but that will be the only pose.  If that week at the end of July into August will not work, Strawbridge will open up slots at other schools.  It is important to make a plan so as not to find out that no slot is available.  Contact Surojini Winterton at Swinterton@strawbridge.net to reschedule your appointment.
