photo? It's not too late! See Ms. Sheppard in room 330 for an order

GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENT REMINDER
Unfortunately,
the Class of 2016 graduation announcements were delivered last week with an
error indicating the wrong location for this year's commencement ceremony
(Graduation is at Altria Theatre on June 17 at 3:00). Herff
Jones has assured MLWGS that the printer is responsible for this mistake, and
they are quickly reprinting everything and expecting to have new
announcements delivered in just a couple of weeks. If you did not order
announcements back in November, you can contact Ms. Sheppard (804-354-6800 ext. 3304/ksheppard@gsgis.k12.va.us).
ATTENTION SENIOR PARENTS!
The May Senior Newsletter (the final edition for the year) is now available on the School Counseling Website (https://sites.google.com/a/gsgis.k12.va.us/mlw-school-counseling/2011-2012-newsletters). This newsletter contains college-related reminders and a listing of scholarships with approaching deadlines. This newsletter will distributed to students in their English classes this week, and they also received a copy via email. Scholarship information for seniors is also available on the School Counseling website (https://sites.google.com/a/gsgis.k12.va.us/mlw-school-counseling/college-admissions-information-1/scholarships-financial-aid) and in Naviance (https://connection.naviance.com/mlwgs).
Contact your child’s counselor if you would like to view the Naviance
scholarship database and need your registration code. Scholarships are still
being added to this database on a monthly basis, most with direct links to the
applications. Hard-copy applications are scanned and attached to the
scholarship description as a PDF. Please note that all deadlines posted on
Naviance or in the Newsletter are subject to change as organizations are still
