Senior Guidance News # 2
I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with 234 of you over the past 2 weeks. If you were one of the 72 that missed your meeting, then you should talk with those that made it and I will also attempt to include the information in the meeting in this letter. The main question is, “Where do you want to be a year from now?”, followed by, “What do you need to do between now and then to arrive at this point?”.
ACT PRACTICE
Each session will be from 6:30 to 8:00 in the auditorium and will cost you $1.00 to attend. Please bring a calculator if you are attending the math or science session(s). It will be beneficial to attend both sessions, but not necessary to benefit if can only attend one of the nights.
