Need to knows about the second semester
With 2021 over, there are many questions that need to be answered for students to help ensure them a successful second semester. “If we were given important announcements ahead of time I think that would be very beneficial to a lot of students,” senior Maddie Bone said.
After a rough 2021 for everyone, with the pandemic and everything else that took place, it is essential to look forward to seeing everything great that will take place for the second semester in 2022.
