Colorado Legacy Foundation AP Grant and Saturday Study Sessions<br />
According to the Colorado Legacy Foundation and the National Math and Science Initiative,<br />
one of the most effective strategies for schools and students participating in Advanced<br />
Placement Incentive and Training Programs is the Saturday Study Session. Students who<br />
participate in these study sessions are exposed to approximately 20 more hours of instruction<br />
by master teachers. They are also exposed to content and test taking strategies that have<br />
proven to be extremely beneficial to students taking the applicable Math, Science, and<br />
English (MSE) exams. Saturday Study Sessions scheduled for the remainder of the school<br />
year are listed below. Aim <strong>High</strong>! Aim for a 5! Attend the Saturday Study Sessions!<br />
