Ethel Moehring Help Your Neighbor Day

We’re excited for our all-school day of service! On Friday, November 4, we will have classes in the morning, and then all students and teachers will be out serving in the community from 12-3pm. We are requesting adult help with transporting small groups to the various service sites and supervising the students as they work. This is a fun day for the students and adults, but we can’t do this without you! Your help is so appreciated and we look forward to sharing this special day with you. Please contact Kate Geenen by October 28 to volunteer.

Upcoming College Visits

Juniors and seniors looking for the most up-to-date college visit listings should check Naviance. Remember once you’ve signed into Naviance, go to COLLEGES at the top of the page. You’ll see a link to College Visits under RESEARCH COLLEGES. That is also where you would be able to sign up in advance to attend a session. Remember to visit the Counseling Suite to get a pass on the day of the visit!

Why should you participate in a college visit?

1. You can learn more about things you care about because the session can be customized to your questions and needs.
2. It’s a great way to make a lasting impression on the admissions representative who will be reading your application to his/her school! Give yourself an advantage over other applicants.
