The folks at Grimsley High School's counseling department have expanded their annual financial aid night into a full-fledged information seminar for parents.

Best of all, all parents, not just those from Grimsley, are invited to listen in.

The financial aid sesssion will give parents of juniors and seniors a chance to ask questions about paying for college. Representatives from the College Foundation of North Carolina will be on hand.

Grimsley officials have added three new 30-minute sessions this year. Parents who don't go to the financial aid session will have the chance to participate in two of the three. They are:

1. How to Help Your Child Succeed in School
2. Building Character
3. The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens

"Hopefully, it will be a lot of information for parents," said Grimsley counselor Cheryl Bolick.

As if the free expert advise wasn't enough, door prizes will be handed out, too.

The event starts at 7 p.m. Tuesday and should last about an hour. For more information, call the Grimsley counseling department at 370-8184.
