In March four of Brewster High School’s best, brightest, and most athletic signed letters of intent to attend college and university next fall. Last Thursday two additional students signed their agreements to participate in sports while studying at Mercy College in September.

Kristen said she was “thrilled to be headed to Mercy in the fall. I can’t wait to become an official Mercy Maverick.”

Christine agreed with her classmate: “The school offers so many opportunities, both in the academic arena as well as on the athletic field.”

Kristen Sliman signs her letter of intent while her parents, Patricia and Alan Sliman, and the school’s assistant principals Michele Gosh and Kieran Stack look on. ERIC GROSS The school’s athletic director, Lance Pliego, congratulated each of the students for their academic and athletic achievements as well as their parents for “being there for your kids. Moms and dads—you have all done a great job of parenting.”

Last month’s letters of intent were signed by Kristi Edleson, a champion swimmer, who has agreed to study at the University of Pennsylvania.

Mike Thomas, a cross-country standout, will be attending Siena College outside of Albany.
