Michael & the Proud Mama
(at Andy & Kristin's Wedding Reception)
Michael was accepted into the PACE program which is a joint effort through Lakeville South and Inver Hills Community College. There are several High Schools and Community Colleges in the metro that are participating in this program and he was 1 of 65 students chosen (and 1 of 8 from his school!)!! He will be taking college courses every Saturday during the school year and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesdays during the Summer until he graduates. If all goes well...he will have 15 college credits by the end of his Senior year...and all for FREE! This program pays for his classes, books, his transportation...and this semester they are even covering his lunches!
In addition to all of the above...they will be working closely with him to make sure he is doing ok in his classes and will help him prepare for the real transition to college, as well as help him apply and get accepted into the college he ends up choosing. It's a great opportunity and we are just so proud of him!!
Today was his first class and he really enjoyed it!! Good job, Mike!!!!
