This year at John I. Burton, guidance counselor, Melissa Cook, and college adviser, Sass Sloce, have decided to start a new club for seniors who plan on going to college. According to the two, College and Conversation is a group for seniors who want to get together to discuss college. They decided to create this group to support college bound seniors. Once a month on a Friday, the senior members meet in the library from 7:45 until 8:15.
College and Conversation is an organization that Mrs. Cook has been wanting to create since she started working at Burton last year. Now, with the help of Ms. Sloce, she is finally able to do so. Ms. Sloce stated that she enjoys speaking with the students face-to-face much more than communicating with the students by email.
For seniors who plan on attending college, this gathering is an extraordinary opportunity to discuss any concerns with SATs, college registration, applications, scholarships, or FAFSA. Mrs. Cook and Ms. Sloce will be happy to answer any questions involving the College and Conversation program.
