Senior Retreat
On May 19th (Thursday) we will be taking the first 200 seniors who sign up to the Rosemount Community Center for the Senior “Wisdom” Retreat. The Wisdom Retreat is presented by Youth Frontiers and is designed for seniors to reflect, laugh, and share experiences that enable them to say goodbye to each other. This day inspires students to bring positive closure to their last days together as a class and to show appreciation to those who have supported them throughout these years.
If students are interested in attending, please sign up using MyPayments Plus. Cost is $25. Scholarships are available - message your counselor to request one!
Students will not want to miss out on this fun day!
