SCHOLARSHIP NEWSLETTER
November 2008
Dear Senior’s,
Well, the end of the first quarter of your senior year
has come and gone. It has gone fast. I am sure that the next 3 quarters will go
even faster. Hopefully, you are on top
of filling out applications and scholarship forms. Have you taken the ACT? Have you visited our career lab? Have you visited with any of the college
representatives we have come to EHS?
Have you taken a college visit to see for yourself what different
colleges are all about? How many of you have taken home this newsletter and
shared it with your parents? Is there
anything that we can do for you in the Guidance Department? See your Counselor or me for more
information.
