Virtual Incoming 9th Grade Showcase

Join us February 3rd 2021, 5:30-7:30PM, for our annual (& first ever virtual) Bowie course & club showcase! Since the event has gone virtual, it will be structured a little differently than usual. We will send out a general information video along with the links to our course & club videos the week prior. We encourage families to check out the videos for the programs that their student may be interested at Bowie. On the showcase night, we will have "virtual booth" Zoom links for families to visit if they have any questions for our counselors or about our programs. Some programs will hold breakout sessions as well. Links and more information to come. We look forward to seeing you there!
