Cabot wishes all of you the best on your exams & final papers

Just take a deep breath, and take this time to prepare. You have done this before. You’ve survived pretty well so far. You’ll be fine. Pull out your syllabus again and make sure you know when your exam is, and where its being held. Put the shuttle tracker link in your phone. Set an alarm. And remember that you have already proved yourself as a person at Cabot House, and nothing could happen on the exams that would change that. Semper Cor.

Nominate a Senior for a Semper Cor award or as Class speaker! (by May 15, noon)

Specifically, we are looking for nominations for our Semper Cor awards, and a nomination for the student speaker at the diploma ceremony at Cabot House.  If you could find five or ten minutes before Wednesday, May 15th at noon, to send us a name and a paragraph or two about why you are nominating that particular student, we’d be very grateful. The Semper Cor awards are special prizes given to four seniors who, in the eyes of their friends, tutors, and other members of the community, most embody the aims of House life at Cabot, in the areas of: Community-building, Personal well-being, Intellectual growth, and Artistic expression.
