U.S. Service Academy Information Day
Dear Educator,
I am excited to announce my annual U.S. Service Academy Information Day. Students, parents and educators who are interested in learning more about attending one of our Nation’s five Service Academies are invited to my U.S. Service Academy Information Day. The application and selection process to attend a service academy is very competitive and requires students to be meticulous. My information day presents the perfect opportunity for your students to gain the knowledge and expertise they will need to submit a quality application for consideration.
This exciting event will take place on Saturday, April 4th at the Smith-Cotton High School Library, 2010 Tiger Pride Blvd, Sedalia, MO 65301 from 1:30 pm-3:30 pm. As a part of the information day, students and their family members will have the opportunity to interact with representatives from the U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, U.S. Military Academy at West Point, U.S. Naval Academy and university ROTC programs and also visit with the students who I nominated and were selected to attend various service academies this upcoming school year.
I am looking forward to meeting with interested students and their families during the information day. Thank you for all you do for our students and best of luck as you enter the homestretch of this school year. Although RSVP’s are not required, they are encouraged. The link to register can be found at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/congresswoman-vicky-hartzlers-military-service-academy-information-day-tickets-91177982801
