  2. Thank you, Andrew. It is a lot of hard work but totally worth it. We’re excited to offer these students something that not very many other 8th-graders get to experience.

  3. Hello:)
    I didn’t really know a lot about college until I read this information on your website. I like it a lot and im actually considering going to UofO. Is it true that you have to have really good grades to get into college, because I don’t have good grade at all and i doubt i ever will. I really did learn alot on this website like…what classes you can take, What kind of classes, and how long they.

  4. Awesome presentation on Monday at Briggs Middle School. Loved the video and the guest speakers were great. They handled some funny question very well.

    Thanks for all the hard work you have done for the 8th graders at Briggs.
