Wheeler ABC Foundation

With school back in session, it’s time to start making your SAT/ACT study plan. ABC Foundation and Applerouth are partnering together to help you get started.

We are offering in person at Wheeler Mock Tests under a full, real testing environment. Scores are not sent to schools, they are for your use only and full score reports are sent 10 days after test is completed to show were you need to concentrate.

We also offer workshops which are held after school in the Wheeler Media Center on Tuesday & Thursday from 345pm - 615pm, covering major test strategies and most common problems. Each student will have time to practice and ask questions of the tutor.

Best suggestion, do both. The tutor will be able to tailor your study plan based on your test outcome.

Here are the 3 ways to start:

1. Sign up for a Saturday Mock Test - $10

2. Sign up for a 5 hour Workshop - $150

3. Sign up for both for a discount - $140

Registration deadlines are coming up quickly so sign up today with the proper event code. https://www.applerouth.com/events/group-classes

More details will be posted as the meeting date approaches...

In keeping with the mission to support and promote academic success for ALL Wheeler students, the Wheeler ABC Foundation will award four $500 scholarships to deserving Wheeler seniors who plan to further their education by enrolling in either a four-year or two-year college degree or technical certification program.

Academic Success means different things to different students. It's not just about grades - it may be about using your experiences to benefit the Wheeler community; learning how to balance school, family obligations and work; or simply discovering more about yourself. It may be about what you bring to the classroom and how you inspire others, or about finding what excites you and makes you want to keep learning.

Students applying must meet the following criteria:

· Be a Wheeler student in good standing and graduating in May 2024.

· Complete the online application and answer the short essay prompts.

· Adhere to the deadline established and essay word limits.

All applications must be received by 11:59 pm on March 25, 2024.
