From Mrs. Weber, Senior Counselor Happy Week everyone! How fortunate we are to have a short week in school and the rest to enjoy with friends and family!

December 1st is a popular deadline… if it is your deadline and you haven’t already asked me to write your letter of recommendation – I am afraid you are out of luck. It falls on the Sunday of our break and I have family coming in for the holiday. I will have all of my letters completed by midnight on Tuesday (in anticipation of the December 1st deadline).

When we return after Thanksgiving break – we will have Advisory on December 4th. It is NOT TOO LATE to sign up to hear from Spalding University or Bellarmine University as they BOTH will be here (in separate areas). https://tinyurl.com/y2z2n8rl

If you have not completed your FAFSA – or if you have questions about something that the FAFSA report indicated – please sign up for an appointment with Dr. Candice Johnson the next time she visits on February 5th https://tinyurl.com/EHS-FAFSA-HELP

Oh – and there is one more thing to consider – if you haven’t purchased your cap and gown from Balfour – you might want to do that before the price increases on December 1st. Currently the cost is $45 – but after December 1st the cost increases to $50. The price will continue to go up each month as we get closer to graduation! www.kyanabalfour.com
