ATTENTION
SENIOR PARENTS!
The
May Senior Newsletter 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. The latest newsletter was distributed
to students in their English classes last week. 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 sending us updated information for this school year. Check the
organization’s website for the most current information. Please contact Rachel
Loving in the School Counseling Office with scholarship questions.

or vocal) are sought for both events. Students should begin
preparing if they would like to audition. Any MLWGS senior or group
of seniors interested in auditioning must sign up for a time slot by May 17 on
the list outside the Forum. Final decisions will be made by a committee
of faculty members and the class officers. Note: All students
intending to perform must be present at auditions and are required to perform
