ATTENTION JUNIORS
The RMASS “Zapping the SAT” prep seminar will be coming to Horizon on Wednesday, March 15th & Thursday, March 16st. For an opportunity to participate in this awesome two-day after school seminar, you must see Mrs. Bell or Mrs. Neumann in the counseling office to sign up for a spot. The cost of this two-day seminar is usually $89 – but Dr. Shadwell will be paying $50 of the $89 for the first 100 students who sign up – so it will cost you only $39. Don’t pass up this great opportunity to get “prepped” for the SAT Test coming in April. For any questions on this SAT Prep opportunity – see Mrs. Neumann in the counseling office.
