Bright sunny day

Educators are probably part of the few that request rainy cloudy days through the first week in June. Bright sunny days with temperatures in the 70s and 80s do not lead themselves to great study days. The month of May is tough enough with all the AP and IB testing. Then some weather and the teacher are ready to stare into the sun -- and so are the students.

The building does get warm in the afternoon. There are almost 2,000 people in the building and it was never built for personal and human comfort. There is minimal ventilation and the sun pouring through the windows is hot as well as inviting.

Many of our girls have been dressed for warm weather since winter break so the heat of the afternoon is not a problem for them. But for the more modest or reasonably dressed, layers work. It is chilly in the morning and by 1 it is hot and humid.

Four more weeks. We will make it through.
