The Funhouse and Orcas Island High School are teaming up for the annual post-high school “Futures Fair” on Wednesday, October 3.
For the sixth year The Funhouse is bringing expert college counseling consultants from Seattle. Arlene Prince and Judy MacKenzie will be offering presentations for sophomores and up, as well as individual sessions for students and their parents.
They will focus on college admission, high school curricular choices, standardized test performance, college choices, the college application process, and specifics every potential college student should know.
Adam Faber, Financial Advisor and Financial Education Specialist will be at Parent’s night at the Orcas Public School Library at 6 p.m. on Wednesday. He will be discussing financial aid strategies; tax issues affecting savings plans, college funding options and more. This is a great talk for parents with kids of all ages!
The college counseling consultants and financial education specialist will also be offering one-on-one advisory sessions throughout the Futures Fair. Parents are strongly encouraged to call The Funhouse Commons to schedule one of these valuable sessions.
While there is no cost for these sessions, The Funhouse suggests making a donation to help defray the costs of bringing these top experts to our community.
Please call Krista at The Funhouse, 376-7177 or email krista@thefunhouse.org for more details or to schedule an individual session.
