Why hello there!
Purr-haps you will forgive me for intruding on your day, but I feel it is my duty to share the latest whisker-twitching updates from our beloved campus here in dear Chambersburg.
I am hopeful that winter is nearly over. My dear friend Agatha the groundhog is still hibernating, bless her sleepy little heart, but I know she’ll emerge soon to join me in welcoming spring. She always says there’s nothing quite like the first blooms on campus, and I must agree. The daffodils and tulips are truly the cat’s meow.
Until then, I enjoy what I must of the lonely winter. Our grounds are simply claw-some this time of year. The snow has transformed the campus into a glittering wonderland. While I prefer to admire the snow from my window perch in Sharpe House (a dignified cat avoids cold paws, after all), I know students enjoy playing in the snow on campus and going downtown to IceFest. Can you believe they still have not made an ice sculpture of yours truly? I guess the festival is not as great as they think it is.
The spring semester is in full swing, and my whiskers are positively tingling with excitement over all the wonderful things happening here at Wilson. The campus is alive with activity, and the students are as industrious as ever. Between classes, club meetings, and events, I’m reminded of just how paws-itively energetic our Phoenix family can be.
One of the highlights this semester is the annual ArtsFest in April. The campus will be transformed into a vibrant showcase of art, music, and performances. I’ve already heard whispers of some truly impressive student creations—though I must say, they could use a touch more red and white to match my own fabulous fur!
As for me, life is simply purr-fect. Between my naps and my ever-important duties of supervising my dad, I’ve been making my royal rounds at events at Sharpe House, offering a regal purr and a flick of my tail to remind everyone who is truly in charge.
To my dear alumnae, alumni, and friends, your support is the cat’s whiskers. Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to enhance student programs and maintain our cherished traditions. Your contributions are as treasured as a sunbeam on a winter’s day. I do hope you’ll visit—it would make my whiskers wiggle with joy to see you back on campus.
As we curl up and reflect on the past year, I want to leave you with this: whether you are near or far, you are always part of the Wilson family. May your hearts be as warm as my favorite spot by the radiator, and may your spirits be as light as a feather toy. Here is wishing you a purr-fectly delightful spring season filled with joy and love. Until next time.
P.S. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for Reunion in May! I’ll be there, fur-shionably early, to greet you all.
