February – a light dusting of snow on the grass, quickly melted by the warm sun; the fragrance of roses and excited squeals filling St. Margaret’s Hall on Valentine’s Day; students enjoying a free afternoon in this interval between sports’ seasons. So many aspects of our program are coming to an end and the events scheduled to highlight student achievements punctuate our exam preparations. It is a month to look back, just a little, and turn our eyes and thoughts to all that awaits us.
