Please join us for a "Meet the Coach" session this MONDAY, MARCH 15th at 6pm in the PAC's cafeteria. Cardinal Education to offer free SAT tutoring
As mentioned at the M-A Football Sports Banquet, Cardinal Education is offering to host a free* SAT tutoring program for football players this semester! The program is slated to begin in March of 2010 and last 6 to 8 weeks. Because space for the program is limited, Cardinal Education is currently accepting applications for spots in the class. The only requirement for applying is that your student be a member of an M-A football team!
Here's a brief overview of the class:
The class will be held on M-A campus in a classroom on block day after school (with a possible class during the last period of the day - perfect for students with prep or free periods!)
Students will be assigned homework and expected to complete it between classes. *As we did mention free, we will be providing services free of charge. There will be a nominal fee of $20 to cover materials for the class. For families needing assistance with the fee, please contact Susan Mohr at SMDMohr@aol.com or (650) 323-6321.
All applications for the program should be emailed to Adrian at cecg007@gmail.com. If you have any further questions regarding the program, you may send them to that address as well. Cardinal Education will be accepting applications through February 28, 2010. While positions are not filled on a first-come first-served basis, we will be aiming to fill up spots as soon as possible.
We can't wait to help your students even more. Go bears!

Hey fellas! This is what you work all off season for. This is why you lift all them weights! This is why you do all that! -- Bill Parcells, Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the Miami Dolphins There is a difference between being in shape and being in football shape. Any one can get out on the field and run around , but once you start getting hit and have to get up, then you find out the difference between being in shape and being in football shape. -- John Madden, Retired NFL Player, Coach and Announcer Looking Ahead: Stay tuned -- football never ends for the M-A Bears!
