Week Fifteen
Dates: Monday July 9th through Sunday July 14th
Season: Summer 2007
Month: Early July
Announcements:
The last week at Halcyon saw the addition of several new students but also the departure of some beloved staff members. Cassius Florin and Anastasiya Vourdulak have given up their stations and each moved on in other directions. We wish them both the best of luck in their endeavors, whatever they may be. Diarmad Pádraig, while still working for Halcyon, is not doing so at the school. His specific scouting talents have led him back home to Scotland. His niece, Rebecca has joined him. Rozlyn Hecatomb, though she will be remaining with us at Halcyon, has stepped back from her classes to devote herself full time to her family. For those of you who do not know, Rozlyn gave birth to baby girl, Jayden last month, bringing the Hecatomb brood to five. Best wishes to Roz and Axel and also to big brothers, Xael and Aidan.
Selene Wagner has officially stepped in to teach Bloodlust.
The study group sign up sheets will remain on the bulletin board outside the library. We encourage all students to take advantage of the many opportunities for learning presented at Halcyon, and also encourage the more senior students to reach out to those less experienced. Any student in need, academically, or otherwise is reminded to turn to their guide teacher. If you are unsure of who your guide is please contact an administrator.
July is Anti Boredom Month. Get out there and do something not boring.
