Even if you are not going to school next year we still need your form back so that we know that you plan to work, travel, join the military or are undecided. We also want to know for Senior Awards Night on 5/27, whether you have received any scholarships outside of Roosevelt. If you did not get a form check with your second period teacher first. And if your teacher does not have it, come get another form from the Counseling Office. W. Krakauer
