SENIOR SHARING

Attention Underclassmen! Please join us in the Forum during lunch on Tuesday, June 5 for Senior Sharing. The presentation will begin at 11:40 a.m. A panel of current MLWGS seniors will be sharing their college admission experiences. They will be sharing their thoughts on the college search, the application process, and decision-making. Hear firsthand what they thought was helpful, what they would have done differently, and what they will be up to next year! Students on the panel will be headed to a variety of different colleges next year, including in-state, out-of-state, public, private, and even gap year programs! Although this event is especially helpful for juniors, both freshman and sophomores are welcome to attend as well. Please see Ms. Streitel or Dr. Loving in Counseling with any questions.

MAGGIE L. WALKER SENIOR ART EXHIBITION: CHROMA

You are invited to the opening of the show Friday, June 8 at Art Works Gallery in Richmond.  Senior (Class of 2018) artists will be available from 6-9 p.m. to talk about their art and show the culmination of their work throughout their final year of high school. We hope to see you there!

The show’s title, Chroma, reflects the very basic and fundamental individuality of each artist’s personality and body of work as it has developed over the past several years. Each and every one of them brings something different to the table.
