So Long Summer!

Yes, I’m aware that summer officially ends September 21st.  But in most people’s minds, it’s over with the Labor Day weekend.  Vacations are done and school is back in session.

Of course, our school happens year-round.  That doesn’t mean we don’t celebrate summer, though.  In fact, this year we termed it the “Best Summer Ever” and filled it with fun events at each campus.  One of those was San Jose’s 2nd Annual BBQ in the Park.  Thanks to Beth Fisher, an admissions representative in San Jose, for providing details and pictures.

On August 11th, staff, students, and graduates of the NHI San Jose campus gathered at the nearby Frank M. Santana Park for the second incarnation of this event.  Picnickers chowed down on a choice of beef, salmon, or veggie burgers, as well as an array of vegetables and dip, salsa and chips, and some yummy chewy cookies.

In honor of the concurrent Olympics, participants demonstrated their athleticism in a unique triathlon of events – Frisbee throwing, hula hooping, and water balloon tossing.  Watch out, Michael Phelps!

Campus Manager Alicia Ramos, Student Administrative Services Coordinator Benita MacDonald, and Emeryville Student Services Coordinator Jaime Montenegro worked hard to make the event a success.  San Jose is already looking forward to next year!

And we look forward to more blogs from Beth, who looks to be a regular contributor.
