Thank you to all of the families that attended this week's College Financial Aid Night and to our counselors, Dr. Best and Ms. Herrera for organizing the event. Representatives provided families with a lot of information about filling out the FAFSA and opportunities available that help offset the cost of attending college or trade school. This was also the first year we were able to provide presentations in English and Spanish for families.
