VISUAL ARTS BOOSTERS MEETING

Our last meeting of the year is Tuesday, April 16 from 5:15-6:15 p.m. in the art room.  We will be discussing the senior art show that will be on Friday, May 31. We need your help- especially from our Junior parents. Please come and see where you can help!

ATTENTION SENIOR PARENTS 

The March edition of the Senior Newsletter went out to seniors and parents via Naviance on March 28 (seniors also received hard copies on March 29). The newsletter is also available on the School Counseling website. This newsletter contains important college and scholarship-related reminders and deadlines.

Seniors who play sports for Maggie Walker and will be signing with a college team will be recognized at a Signing Ceremony on Wednesday, May 1 at 3:30 p.m. in the Forum. Seniors should let Ms. Streitel know if they are signing with a college and will be able to attend the signing ceremony by Friday, April 19. 

The 2019 Annual Fund is making an impact on our students at MLWGS. Just this past week during spring break MENA Seminar students were able to travel to Morocco with assistance from the Foundation. The support of our parents is critical in these efforts and we are most grateful for your continued commitment. 

Every year parents from each class compete for the greatest percentage of participation. Help your child's class land on top! Current parent participation is as follows:

Senior parents (2019)	29%
Junior Parents (2020)	26%
Sophomore parents (2021)	25%
Freshman Parents (2022)	29%

We still need to raise more than $125,000 in order to provide the same level of enhancements next year. Make a contribution now.  We look forward to all that we can accomplish together for MLWGS!
