Merit on the Move:

• We are starting up Merit on the Move on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:45-5:45.
• Our first session will be Today, February 9^th.

We have a lot of math students currently interested and have opened up two rooms (2265 as well as the current APEX lab) to accommodate more students. Students will need to clear things with their counselors before coming to a session. Sessions will continue through May and many students are able to earn a credit toward their transcript in that time. Motivated students can often earn more than one. If you have a student who needs another credit or two to graduate, or just wants to get ahead, please let either Mr. Wolf (pwolf@goshenschools.org) or Ms. Miller (almiller@goshenschools.org) know. Thank you!
