Dear Colleagues,

been hosting ACT courses led by community member Dr. Srinath Sampath.
Dr. Sampath Bio <http://prepaccelerator.com/about/>

Dr. Sampath has received extremely positive feedback about his classes and
rising ACT scores have given parents and students proof that these classes
can make a world of difference.

*In partnership with Grandview Heights Public Library, Dr. Sampath is
generously offering his ACT Crash Course (4 hours worth of instruction) for
students AND his Information session for parents FREE of charge online on
Saturday, April 18, 2020.  *

Heights Public Library, but in light of COVID-19 the Grandview Library is
