Can you believe it’s almost April?!? Time to help your kiddos get their volunteer hours in! We need at least 4 adults and 8 students for our spring Love Your Neighbor Walk THIS SATURDAY shortly after the incoming freshman choice sheet event. (Hey-if you’ll be there with your 8th grader, model Raptor spirit and bring them along!) We do these “goodwill walks” a couple of times a year to keep in touch with our neighbors and let them know they’re appreciated. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the fall walk!

The event will be based out of the PTSA/PFLASA portable on Arthur Stiles (near the tennis courts). We’re still nailing down the timing, but the event is TENTATIVELY set for 12:30-2:30 pm. We’ll update the signup ASAP with the exact time. Thank you!

Supplemental Essays: A Crucial Component to College Applications

Thursday, March 26, 2026
7-8pm

In this interactive workshop, participants will learn why supplemental essays matter to college admissions committees, how to successfully approach different types of supplemental essays, and start brainstorming about their own supplemental essays.

After growing up in the Midwest and attending college in the West and graduate school on the East Coast, Kelly moved to Austin, Texas to get a Ph.D. at UT. She wound up staying to raise her two children (one of her daughters is a LASA and Johns Hopkins grad!) and to teach writing at a local liberal arts college. In 2020, Kelly launched her own college consulting business to help students navigate the college admissions process and to share their best selves in their college essays.
