Day 5

 Senior Project | May 13

We started off the day by meeting with Alicia at around 9:30am. We had a discussion on what needed to get done for the day, including: a tour later in the day, work on the admissions Instagram page, the Hornet’s Nest, and some paperwork she needed organized. We were all with her working on separate things until we broke for lunch at around noon. After lunch, at 12:30, we spent some more time working on the Instagram page meant for newly accepted students. Then at 1:30, the three of us had to give a tour to a family from Queens, NY. The tour went well and I enjoyed getting to know the family. It was an action-packed first day of our new Senior Project, and I’m excited for more to come.

Day 1

 Senior Project | May 9th Today marked the first day of Senior Project 2022. I took the opportunity to sleep in but made it a priority with my partners, Trey and Mitchell, to begin brainstorming and planning events by 10am. We met outside of Rulon, got comfy in our Adirondacks and set to work. Our goal for the morning session was to come up with a number of potential ideas for events that would be both entertaining for the whole Proctor community and financially feasible. Some of our ideas included: a wiffle ball tournament, movie night on the turf, "Stay Afloat" contest, flag football tournament, the revival of Proctor assassins (water guns), ghosts in the graveyard, mini golf, spike ball tournaments, scavenger hunts, and more. We understand that some of these ideas may not be possible for one reason or another, so we hope through sheer abundance of ideas, enough will workout; and we're confident enough will. After our morning session, we got lunch and planned our activi...

Weekly Reflection #2

 Senior Project | Weekly Reflection #2 It’s hard to believe we’ve already made it through the second week of Senior Project. This past week has flown by even quicker than the first, mostly, due to the switch we made halfway through last week, transitioning from Student Event Coordinators to Admissions Interns. I’d say so far, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Admissions office and have learned more than we expected we would in such a small matter of time. On Monday, we began the week off by giving a tour to an 8th grader from Aspen, Colorado named Isaac. Isaac was very curious about many different aspects of Proctor and was overflowing with questions for us. This question-answering has become my favorite part of giving tours; being able to talk and answer questions about the community while also sharing what I’ve learned and been taught has been a very reflective experience for me. I’ve enjoyed this passing-on of information to kids who have yet to begin their journey here. ...

Weekly Reflection

 Senior Project | Weekly Reflection It’s hard to believe we’ve already been through one whole week of Senior Project. Our project has certainly taken its twists and turns, starting at Student Event Coordination and now, a week later, Admissions interns. This total switch in our project was not random or uncalled for, but instead actually quite necessary in order for my group mates and I to fulfill the requirements of Senior Project. Simply put, our first project did not provide us with enough opportunity to clock in hours. Our original goal was to put on certain events and activities for the whole student body that, hopefully, they would participate in and enjoy. This would get students out of their rooms, and instead, into more active, social environments. This was the plan. However, as we’ve found out, a prep school, given its schedule full of classes, sports, theater, clubs, and many other extracurriculars, does not make for the best setting for this plan. We failed to consider ...
