🚨 ATTENTION FAMILIES OF JUNIORS AND SENIORS 🚨 There is a College and Career Fair being hosted at Stuarts Draft High School on Wednesday, Sept 20th from 6:00-7:30pm. It is open to ALL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND FAMILIES for FREE! Juniors and Seniors are highly encouraged to attend. There will be over 60 representatives from colleges, universities, military and local businesses. Whether your student plans to attend college, join the military or enter the workforce after high school, this is a GREAT opportunity. Be sure to RSVP using the QR code on the event flyer attached in order to easily and safely share your info with colleges and universities. FREE SHUTTLE - There is an opportunity for a free shuttle from WHS to SDHS for students AND families, based on interest. The shuttle will leave WHS at 5:45pm to head to SDHS. It will leave SDHS at 7:15pm to return back to WHS. IF YOU PLAN ON UTILIZING THIS FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE, PLEASE COMPLETE THIS GOOGLE FORM SO WE CAN GAUGE INTEREST AND PLAN ACCORDINGLY! If you have a child in your family that is still in a car seat, you will need to provide your own transportation, as riding the shuttle bus would not be the safest option for your family. All students and families are welcome to drive themselves to the event, and arrive and leave whenever they would like. We hope to see Giant Nation show up and take advantage of this GREAT opportunity! Students can come find me at the event for a small prize. 😊 Beth Burdick, Career Coach Kalina Zizulka, College Advisor
