PTSA MEETING DECEMBER 12
Please join us for our next MLWGS General PTSA meeting, to be held on Wednesday, December 12 at 5:30 p.m. in room 153. With the holidays, college applications, midterms, and more on our students' minds, it is a good time to discuss teen anxiety and stress management. School psychologist Lisa Ebeling will provide information about the many resources for support available through the counseling department at Maggie Walker. She will be joined by Stephanie Violante, a third year doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology program at VCU. Ms. Violante is also a therapist in the Anxiety Clinic and a behavioral health clinician at the Children's Hospital of Richmond. She will give an overview of anxiety, including signs of anxiety in adolescents, treatment options, and ways in which you can support your student. Both of our speakers will take questions from parents following the presentation. We hope to see you next Wednesday!

As of November 29, 2018, the MLWGS Foundation has raised $96,298 toward our 2018-19 goal of $350,000. Recently, Mr. Benesh's math modeling seminar left for a research trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY, and some of Mr. McGuire's students set off on the inaugural AP Comp Gov UK trip. Grants from the Foundation offset the costs of these trips (as well as several others) for every student attending. We've already committed to funding lots more student travel in the winter and spring, and we need your support to do it! Thank you to everyone who has given!
