Greetings Collegiate Prep Family,
We will be celebrating College Awareness Week , November 14-18, 2016. By creating a culture that promotes college and career readiness, the hope is that scholars will aspire to a lifelong path toward higher education. Professors will proudly share their personal experiences and academic path with scholars. Throughout the course of the week, your scholar(s) will be engaging in age-appropriate activities/lessons to increase their understanding of the value of higher education and its significance in their own future. Please ask your child to share what experiences they have had during this special week.
Your scholar will be bringing home a brief College Awareness Week Interview form this weekend. Scholars are being asked to interview a family member(s) or friend(s) about their college experience. This is to be an opportunity for scholars to discuss college with the people they love. Any scholar who returns this interview form by Monday, November 14 will be entered into our College Awareness Prize drawing. For our younger scholars, please feel free to assist with this form as much as is needed. Thank you for your support! Below will be College Awareness Week attire. Please feel free to contact Mrs. Jackson @ with any questions.
