March is when we take time to highlight the talented young artists and musicians at Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School. To help celebrate Youth Art and Music Month, we will be having our annual student art exhibition! Each student in art and photography classes will have work on display. Additionally, there will be student music groups performing throughout the evening as well as films by our digital video students showcased in the auditorium.

GENERAL PTSA MEETING MARCH 12
At the next general meeting, the topic will be student loans.
Student loans are a common consideration for students and parents who are figuring out how best to pay for college, but the student loan process can be confusing. Scott Kemp, Student Loan Advocate for the State Council for Higher Education in Virginia (SCHEV), will join us at our next PTSA meeting on Thursday, March 12 from 8-9 a.m. in room 153. Scott will walk through the loan process and share smart strategies for student loan borrowers. Stop by and learn how to make your borrowing strategies pay off. All parents are welcome – this information is helpful for any age student.
