PTSA Welcome:
We want to thank all who helped and attended during the Fall Flea Market and Back to school Night.

Upcoming Events:

Admissions Game – College Planning – 10/15
The Admission Game (a.k.a Wining the College Admission Game). Do you ever wonder who “gets in” and “why?” The Admission Game (TAG) takes you inside the admission process for the answers. TAG is a high energy, high impact, interactive, case study exercise for students and parents in which the audience is transformed into an admission committee. In a manner that is more theatre than lecture, Peter Van Buskirk engages audiences immediately in a “conversation” by talking with them in relevant terms that help ease the stress of an otherwise frenzied process. This signature program reveals the “hidden agendas” of colleges and provides insight into how decisions are made. Students learn to find the colleges that fit them best and to make decisions that help them compete for admission.
