Valentine's Day Recruiting!


We continued our recruiting this evening with a Valentine's Day Open House! We had some great students on our tour. I was particularly entertained by the number of students wearing red and pink for the holiday! I also had fun listening to the various activities they had done in their elementary schools today to celebrate the holiday.

The group this evening saw our program overview presentation and took a tour of our school. Once again, the television production studio was a big hit! It has become very clear that everyone wants to have this elective during their middle school experience at Julia Landon College Prep.

The students on my tour were particularly entertaining this evening! I especially liked the students from Jax Beach who reminded me about the "slushie machine" discussion during the Jax Beach 5th Grade Parent Information Night! It appears that middle school students are excited about having slushies during their middle school lunch.

I also had some students on my tour who I can tell are going to be great in the athletics program at the middle school level. In particular, I had some fun discussion about playing football at the middle school level with a few of the prospective applicants.

As always, I continue to appreciate the many students and parents who are considering our program. We hope that we have answered all the questions from the tours this evening, but if you have any additional questions please give us a call!
