During Week Three of the Green Cup Challenge the entire school reduced its electrical consumption by slightly more than 9%! Rowland Hall is competing against 213 schools across the United States.  The competition ends on Monday, February 22.

A Green Cup Challenge suggestion for the week is to check out www.ParkCityGreen.org, an award-winning website.  This site has great tools for green behaviors and activities, such as "My Sustainable Year", where you can commit to your own personal goals with the "What If Calculator."

Upcoming events:

College Counseling:
TRANSITION TO COLLEGE PROGRAM FOR PARENTS OF SENIORS
Just a brief reminder about the Transition to College program for Parents on Monday, February 22 at 7 pm in the Upper School Library.  Ginger Morgan, Associate Dean of Students at Colorado College, will speak with parents about what they should expect as their student gets ready to begin college, how college life has changed in recent years, and when and how to begin discussing hopes and expectations for their student's college experience. 

Please note that this program on Monday night is for Parents Only, and that Dean Morgan will return to Rowland Hall on Tuesday morning, February 23 to meet with groups of seniors to discuss many of these same issues.  The Tuesday meetings will be for Students Only, with parents not invited, just as students are not invited to the program on Monday night.  Dean Morgan's experience includes working with college students and their parents in student life, residence halls, student activities, and campus ministry.
