Last week at BCSM students met with me to begin discussing their college choices. Can you believe that in the fall they will be applying to college? Before you know it they will be off to college doing great things! While some students have gathered a mighty list of places they would like to apply others are making sure of what type of college environment they envision themselves in. Whether that be small, liberal arts or in a warm and sunny place all year round I encourage students to just take their time and do their research. In time they will find the college that just feels right to them, even if right now it seems impossible. But remember you have people here to help you along the way and to help guide you so do not be shy of dropping by the office and talking about college!
Next week we will be having our practice SAT where I will give students the SAT exam as if they were taking the real test. They essay will be included and it will be timed. However lets not forget the benefits of taking the exam which are performing even better on the real SAT, a free Dartmouth water bottle plus ten points towards the prize of their choice, and snacks galore brought by yours truly :) The exam will be taking place on November 4th (students you do not have school on this day) at BCSM from 10:00 am until about 2 pm. Don't forget to bring a calculator! If you do not have one please see me so we can work something out.
As for the parent dinner the location has been moved to Frankie & Johnny's which is located on 1913 Bronxdale Ave. It is still taking place on November 11th at 6:30 pm and I look forward to seeing all the parents and students together to celebrate the hard work all the students have been putting in this fall. Not to mention to dig into some great Italian food!
Seadlove!,
