_______SCHOLARSHIPS: _______

ALL STUDENTS:

This is a unique and exciting experience for anyone in 9th through 11th grade.  Our former superintendent, Dr. Briggs McAndrews and his family are offering a $1,000.00 scholarship to help defray the cost of a week of an Outward Bound Wilderness Program experience.  This scholarship is in memory of Scott McAndrews.  If you believe that you are self-motivated to attend one of these physically and emotionally challenging courses and you believe that you can be a positive contributor to your group, this may be a chance of a lifetime.  Senior Justice Constantine, our most recent participant, will be presenting two brief but informative presentations on Feb. 9th and Feb. 10th in Room E281 during Mod 5.  If you think you are interested, stop by for more information and an application.

See Mr. Scott if you have questions.
