Winter break is a time everyone looks forward to, but when it arrives, many find that they don’t
have anything fun to do. Here is a list of three museum day trips one could take to liven up their
holiday!
1) Washington’s Crossing
For a history fan, a good place to go during break could be Washington’s Crossing. Explore by yourself or on a guided tour and learn about the area’s history while seeing where George Washington crossed the Delaware in 1776.
2) Railroad Museum Of Pennsylvania
For those who like trains or want to feel childlike wonder, the Railroad Museum Of Pennsylvania may be for you. Take a day this winter break to take a walk through train history!
3) Mütter Museum
For those interested in medical history, the Mütter Museum may provide you with an interesting afternoon. Marvel at and read about their collection in this little museum.
Wacky Wardrobe Wednesday- Find some wacky duds and show them off. Mismatch, out of style or something else you conjure up. Just be sure to stay in line with our school dress code.
Thursday 6/1
Neon Thursday- Light up the building with some neon apparel and accessories.
Friday 6/2
Blue/Gold Day- Show off your school spirit by wearing Blue and gold. If you purchased a Bulldog Week t-shirt then wear it proudly.
How to Remain Focused at the End of the School Year
By Sam Ortiz
It’s springtime. The year is coming to a close and it’s easy to fall behind. Here are some ways you can refocus yourself
:
1. Make to-do lists for yourself. It’s a good way of keeping track of the tasks you need to accomplish. Whether it’s schoolwork or daily tasks, writing a to-do list ensures you won’t forget anything you need to do.
2. Schedule your day. If to-do lists don’t work for you, and you need something a bit more precise, you could schedule your day by designating specific tasks to specific times. Whenever I do this for myself, I find that it helps me more easily motivate myself to get up and do things.
3. Take breaks every once in a while. It’s easy to fall into the mindset that breaks can do more harm than good. Letting yourself relax every once in a while will improve your productivity and quality of work in the long run. But also remember- too much of a good thing can turn out to be bad, so balance your working and resting sessions evenly.
Hopefully these tips will help you.
Do your best and remember that summer is not too far away!
