Just wanted to make a quick note here that I'm so happy that I saw so many of you in the computer lab today taking advantage of that time and completing applications and scholarship essays.

Some of you have finished everything but a lot of you still have a lot of ground left to cover! Things I have not seen enough of so far:

• Teacher recommendation letters
• Completed essays
• Completed applications
• SAT/ACT score requests to CUNY
• Fee waiver requests

I should be swamped with this info from everyone but I am not! Please get your apps together. It's crunch time, seniors!

Finally, I want to give a quick shout out to the girls who followed up on the World of Women Staten Island scholarship application. My fingers are crossed for each of you for this scholarship! You all did a wonderful job!
