Brad Waldow, Saint Mary's College Basketball Visits Hamilton Middle School in Novato

On Tuesday, November 19, a visit from Saint Mary's College star center, Brad Waldow inspired Novato students yesterday. He spoke on the importance of time management, and staying focused on academics. Thank you Tanya Madsen, Hamilton Meadow Park AVID coordinator for your leadership in organizing this educational outreach. 

On January 25, 2014, Ms Madsen's 57 AVID students will travel to Saint Mary's College for an early college outreach. Organized by Novato Chess Club (HYA), the purpose is to:

1. expose: 1st generation college bound students, parents, and guardians to a college environment

2. inform: students, parents, and administrators of college requirements and alternative admission programs
