Kareem is off to a strong start in his senior year. His grades for the first marking period continue to show Kareem's determination to take full advantage of his opportunity at Forman, with all of his grades above 90. He is Procter of his dorm, with leadership duties that include making sure the underclassmen are at their books during evening study time and following up on everyone's chore assignments in the dorm. Kareem had another outstanding year on the football field, leading Forman to the championship game in their prep football league. Forman lost in the championship game vs. Fieldston, but the team and Kareem make a great effort. (Kareem had a wonderful 80 yard run for a touchdown that will be great for his highlight reel for college coaches) We're now entering the college planning season in earnest and will keep you posted on our progress.
On the financial front, we need to raise a bit over $16,000 this year. This is about 80% vs. last year as Forman has generously increased Kareem's financial aid package for his senior year. So far, we have a little over $10,000 raised. We need to have all the money to Forman by the end of December. If you haven't made your donation yet, it would be great if you could get it in soon. You can donate online at http://charlieco.com/kareem or you can make your check out to The Forman School, note Kareem Cope on the memo line, and mail it to Charlie Taney, 9 Outer Road, Norwalk, CT 06854.
Thanks very much to everyone who has donated.
Regards,
Charlie Taney
