CLASS OF 2008

SCHOLARSHIP NEWSLETTER

MARCH 2008

 

Dear Seniors,

 

This will be the last scholarship newsletter for this year.  If I receive any additional scholarships, I will put them on the announcements.  I really hope that your “Life after High School” plans are going well.   If you need information about Pell Grants, Student Loan, come see me.  If you haven’t made up your mind about what you are doing next year, we need to talk. J

 

Just a few reminders, be sure to get all your fees paid so that you can get your diploma this summer.  Your transcripts and diploma will be available in June, if all your fees are paid.    Best of luck to you, I hope that your life is full of happiness and success.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mrs. Teresa Maley
