New SAT!
A revamped SAT is coming out in 2016! Just thought parents of Jr High and Sr High students might want to know and here is a link to free SAT prep by Kahn Academy, which is great.

CBCCA Meeting
Just a reminder that the March CBCCA meeting is this Tuesday, March 4th at 7:00pm. This meeting will be led by Mark & Sharon Mansell and both moms and dads are welcome to attend. I am sure this will be a great time of refreshment and encouragement.
Also, Sue Cerrillo will be available in the church library during the HS meeting if you are wanting to put a family page in the yearbook or would need help of any kind in TreeRing.
This would NOT count towards any of your meeting requirements, so if you need to attend the meeting, please do that instead.
Tracy and Sue will be available a couple more times in March if you can’t make this one.
Reminder – Order Your Stanford Test By March 14th
