First Day!

The students arrived yesterday and we were ready for an exciting summer and were super excited to see them here in D.C. Our orientation began with games and ice breakers, acitivities to get to know the staff, a campus tour, some freetime to unpack and settle into the dorm rooms. After dinner, we had had an opening ceremony, during which we celebrated George Washington and his legacy. We also had our first Covenant Group meeting this evening. Covenenat Groups are small discussion groups in which mentors and students meet together to discuss important topics that will arise during the course of the summer. This first meeting was an opportunity for the students to meet each other and their mentors. What's a first day of a summer program without ice cream?!! So we wrapped up our first evening with an ice cream party. The first day was "JAM" packed and lots of fun. Stay tuned for frequent updates!!!
