Can you believe it!? All 40 of our SRA 2010 students are off to college. After a whole day of listening to advice on how to survive the first year of college it was time to say goodbye. We are incredibly proud of all of you and have a safe trip!

Private College Counselors Lee Oller and Sara Schroeder generously donated their time and skills and inspired our SRA students to write the best college essay. Students as far as San Jose and Sonoma attended the workshop and are now off to a great start!
