“I would totally recommend that all seniors go on May Term. It was a great way to wrap up my high school career,” said 2011 Edina High School graduate Christina Kosters. May Term is an educational opportunity offered to seniors with satisfactory attendance and grade standing, to forgo coming to school for the last few weeks of school after A.P. tests, and instead complete an internship or a project of their choice. May term applications were submitted just over a month ago, so take a look at some of the things two seniors will be doing May 21 through June 4!

Senior Megan Armstrong has decided to do an internship. “I am shadowing my physical therapist for six hours a day, for ten days. I will follow him as he interacts with patients,” explained Armstrong. “I decided to do a May Term to learn more about what I want to do for a job in the future!”

So while Armstrong will be staying in-state, senior Thea Zerbe’s project takes her out of the country. “My project is kind of like a mini-exchange program. For three weeks I will be living with an Italian host family and attending the Scuola Palazzo Mavisi, a language school, in Bagno Di, Itlay,” said Zerbe. “Instead of indulging my inner American tourist, I would like to completely immerse myself in Italian life and get to know the country’s people,” she went on.
