I encourage parents and students to look into volunteering opportunities, academic enrichment opportunities etc, for part/all of the summer. The opportunities not only 'look good on a college application' but provide students with invaluable learning experiences that can not be truly captured in a school setting. Here are a few, and keep an eye on the newsletter as I receive this information daily! (Denise O'Gorman)
