Senior Girls Luncheon
Our Next Step to Success - A Celebration of Us
About to take the biggest step of their lives, the girls in the
Port Jervis High School Class of 2007 got together May 7 to
celebrate their accomplishments and better prepare themselves
for post-graduation success.
For the second year, all of the girls in the graduating class
were invited to attend the Senior Luncheon. This year's day-long
event was held at the Best Western in Westfall, PA. Much more
than a casual dining experience, the special event provided the
girls who attended with an opportunity to participate in a
series of seven life skills workshops - all of which were
specifically designed to help them meet the personal challenges
they will face in the workforce, college, and their personal
lives.
The hands-on workshops provided information on a variety of
topics including time and stress management, personal finances,
nutrition, and healthy relationships. The program also included
a motivation presentation on "Dealing with Life" by Maryann Ruby
of Bodies in Balance.
"The presentations were very insightful," said senior Sarah
Basile. "They provided us with a glimpse into the future that we
wouldn't normally see right now."
The workshop topics were selected by a planning committee
comprised of several senior girls and event organizers
Jane Accardi,
Helenanne Gillinder, and Nora Perry. Accardi says the event is
made possible by the support received from Bon Secours Community
Hospital, Port Jervis Rotary Club, and numerous other local
businesses and civic groups. (The teachers' thank you note to
the community is copied below.)
