We recently received news that Sherwood HS will be allowed to use the Comcast Center for graduation next year. However, if we choose to do so, we will need to pay a cost of approximately $13,000. We already have the funds to cover this cost; however, we will need to do some class fundraising for some senior activities. These will be determined at a later date. If we do not go to the Comcast Center, we will have our graduation at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C.

At this time, I am planning to have graduation at the Comcast Center. The feedback we received from the past two graduating classes has been very positive about using the Comcast Center for graduation. While this does increase cost, historically the cost of travelling to Constitution Hall has been comparable or greater for our families.

I have worked with our PTSA President, Sharon St. Pierre, to build an email account to hear from those families that do not wish for the Comcast Center. I need your response no later than Friday, July 18. If there is an overwhelming number of parents and students not in support of the Comcast Center option, then graduation will be held at Constitution Hall.

The website is SherwoodGraduation@yahoo.com. You can
find this link on the Sherwood High School PTSA website and also on the PTSA listserves.

Thank you for your attention to our graduation for the Class of 2009.

Students at many MCPS high schools will attend the Hispanic College Fair on Nov. 6 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Universities at Shady Grove Conference Center in Rockville. Students received permission slips and transportation information from their school’s College and Career Center. A parent workshop on the importance of college and information on financial aid will be offered the night before, on Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. in Building I at the Universities at Shady Grove.

The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) is also hosting two area college fairs. The first is set for Nov. 8 at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The second is at the Baltimore Convention Center on Nov. 12-13 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. Visit NACAC’s web site for more details, including tips for attending a college fair and questions to ask.

Meetings Set on Saving for College

With tuition costs rising faster than most salaries, paying for college is becoming increasingly difficult. Today’s average college senior is graduating with more than $20,000 of debt. In November and December, information nights for parents on the College Savings Plans of Maryland are being held at some Montgomery County schools. The meetings will begin at 7 p.m. View dates and locations at www.collegesavingsmd.org/events.cfm

Additional information nights will be held through March. The College Savings Plans of Maryland now offer more options from the State of Maryland to help make it easier to save for college. The Maryland Prepaid College Trust allows parents to lock in tomorrow’s tuition at today’s cost. The Maryland College Investment Plan offers 13 different investment portfolios managed by T.Rowe Price. Both plans are affordable, flexible, and offer state and federal tax benefits.
