First Week of Tutorial Spring 2010!!

February 14th, 2010

Hey Volunteers!

Thank you all for you patience with Orientation and we’re glad that everything went well.  This coming week is the first week of tutorial for OASES! We hope you are all as excited as we are to finally meet (or reunite for some of us) with the students!

Please remember that your Tuberculosis Test Results must be ready BEFORE you go onsite to see the students.

If you haven’t already, remember that each day will need a name that alliterates with their day. Last semesters day names were:

Make It Rain Mondays

Trix Are For Tuesdays

We Will Rock You Wednesdays

This Is How We Do It Thursdays

Fridays. Friday? Fridays!

So think of some names for your day!

We hope everyone had a great 3-day weekend. The Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day, and President’s Day all in one weekend!

We’ll see all of you at tutorial this week! [Except for Mondays :'( ]
