Mako Rising Juniors and Seniors Meeting

Peter and I would like to remind you about the upcoming meeting for all swimmers who will be graduating in the classes of '10 or '11.  Those who are interested in discussing college options should meet in the GMU lobby on Monday, April 27 at 6:00 PM. Parents are encouraged to attend, but it is not necessary.  This will be a fairly informal meeting to discuss such things as swimming in college, admissions, academics, financial aid, timelines or anything else he can help you with. I think this would be a great opportunity for Peter to help you with information that he hopes will make the process easier.
The following swimmers/parents have signed up to attend:
 
Elizabeth Lewan & Parents
Joey Kelly & Parents
Shannon Silsby
Natalie Leake & Parent
 
Please email Coach Heather to RSVP. Thank you.
