College Application Week 2015!

Monday: Early Bird Drop-in

HEbrews CoffeeHouse: 7:30am - 12pm

Mooresville Public Library: 12:00pm -6pm

What's happening: 

Seniors and parents can come by either location at the indicated times to receive assistance applying to college, finding/applying for scholarships, or working on essays/resumes. 

Seniors who have already done most of the college process can come by the day and have the added bonus of picking up their Senior Ticket early and have Ms. Miller check off completed tasks so they will have less to do during the week and stay in class! So please encourage seniors to come to HEbrews/MPL on Monday so they don't miss much class. :)
