MLWGS’s GRASP advisor
Susan Teerlink has been coaching families through this important
(and tedious) process for nine years. She has filled out hundreds of FAFSA
forms with parents and students – and her own daughters. She works one-on-one
with many MLWGS juniors and seniors, but Susan has volunteered her time to
share her wisdom and expertise with all MLWGS parents. Don’t miss this chance to get an overview of the
process in a familiar environment – before you jump in with both feet.
Stop by room 153, the outside classroom near the Bluestone Lobby
entrance, before work or after you drop off your student and hear Susan
Teerlink discuss these important topics.

GOING INTO THE WOODS? REMEMBER YOUR UMBRELLA!
It's not just good defense against
giants, wolves and witches, but it's also an essential accessory for unexpected
downpours and wrinkle-etching UVA/UVB rays. Just ask the Baker's Wife (as
portrayed by Emily Blunt, as portrayed by Gwyneth Sholar) - - 'I wouldn't
dare go in search of my child without my MLWGS extra-large umbrella!'***
You too can grab this invaluable
item next Tuesday and Friday during lunch, OR before/during
intermission of the March 12, 13 and 14 evening productions of Into The Woods by MLWGS Drama.
Check out our entire lineup of MLWGS merchandise 24/7 online (mlwgsdragons.weebly.com).
Cash and checks always accepted, and on performance nights, credit cards as
well; although we might also consider trading our magic beans for your cow.

or baker's wives were consulted for the content of this ad. C'mon people,
it's Photoshop. Sheesh.
