Greetings,
The time to begin thinking about courses and scheduling for the upcoming academic year is getting closer.

The meeting will be held in the Penny Bearden Memorial Library from 7pm-8pm.
If you have any questions about the meeting, please reach via email at woodmang@fultonpirates.net
Attention Seniors,
If you are planning on attending College or a Skilled Trade School, you should complete the FAFSA. Even if you think you do not qualify for financial aid through the FAFSA, some schools will extend scholarship money to those who have a completed FAFSA.
go to www.studentaid.gov to complete your FAFSA.

The deadline is March 1, 2023 and we ask you to please help us by publicizing the availability of these scholarships to the appropriate students at your school.
