Happening for Cumberland County Schools This Week

Consolidated College Fair – ‘One-Stop College Shopping’

Thousands of area high school students will enter the Crown Arena to meet with an array of college registrars and recruiters on Tuesday, September 24 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. Because of the overwhelming success of past college fairs, the Cumberland County School (CCS) system is once again partnering with the Carolinas Association of Collegiate Registrars and Administration Officers (CACRAO) to offer students access to CCS’ Consolidated College Fair 2013. By offering a consolidated college fair, the school system has attracted more than 60 in- and out-of-state universities. The fair will not only provide students with an array of choices, but it will also offer parent breakout sessions on how to obtain financial aid and complete the Federal Application for Student Aid.

Organizers of CCS’ Reading Rocks! Walk-A-Thon are holding a system-wide pre- fundraiser at Texas Roadhouse (Fayetteville location) on Tuesday, September 24 from 4:00 – 10:00 p.m. The restaurant will donate a portion of its sales in food and merchandise back to the schools from all sales generated that evening. Texas Roadhouse is located at 4195 Sycamore Dairy Road. For additional information, contact CCS’ Media Services at 910.678.2613.
