Summer Total Immersion Programs 2008-2009

they are learning. We encourage them to travel abroad and experience different customs and culture firsthand.
In the past, St. Agnes students have availed themselves of the following total immersion programs during the summer.

Mr. Jose Maria Marti, operations director, will visit St. Agnes on Tuesday, October 14 to speak with parents and
students regarding this program and make a presentation.
Time and place: Fleming Room A, 10/14/08 at lunchtime.

in underdeveloped countries. This year's Amigos program still has a few openings. Volunteers
can pay for their own airfare or raise funds for this purpose (there are also a few scholarships). Participants

COUNSELORS' CORNER
As you may know, the PSAT will be given to sophomores and juniors on Wednesday,
Oct. 15. In the past, the seniors were taken on a field trip during this time. However, this year, the counseling
office has decided to use this block of time to run workshops related to the college admissions process for seniors.
These workshops will take place from 9 a.m. -11:15 a.m. on the morning of the PSAT. We will have five university
representatives on campus from SMU, TCU, Rice, Texas Tech and Univ. of Houston to help our students with the common
application, Apply Texas and what to expect in the selective admissions process. We will also have two of our English
teachers available for students to receive help with their college essays. Students will sign up for three
sessions in 40-minute blocks. Students are expected to participate and, for attendance purposes, this day will
be treated as a regular school day.
This is the first year we have run a program such as this and we hope
that it will be interactive and valuable for all of our seniors during this busy time of year.
