A Message of Hope for Parents
While the often hectic holiday season is over, many of our families will be shifting into the transition to college for our seniors or gearing up for the college application process for our juniors. This can be a time of anticipation and excitement, as well as stress or even disappointment. The Cube volunteer team and Mrs. George would like to recommend the following article from the Georgia Tech Admission Blog,
"Hope for the New Year", by Rick Clark, posted Jan. 7, 2019.
It's an excellent read for all of our IB Parents.
