Sleeping soundly, nestled up in warm, bountiful blankets, then snaking an arm through the edges  to ram a finger on the snooze button. For those gripped with the doom of doing so for another two months, the thought of fast-forwarding to the 2019-2020 school year and repeating the trend for another nine months is worse, even grueling.

While confronting the rest of the semester day by day is less overwhelming, looking ahead to what the future has in store for the school year this coming August allows expectation and anticipation for students, teachers, staff, and administration alike.
