Happy Summer!!

Ahhhh! Summer!!! 



We are still busy at work with SCLA to prepare for the next year of great students and amazing work that needs to be accomplished! A few summer updates for you!

Help this week!!
 MOVIE NIGHT GIFT BASKET ITEMS FOR RABC BINGO




As members of RABC we are encouraged to provide a gift basket for customer appreciation night at the Bingo Alley.  Bingo is a big money maker for RABC.
We are doing a "Movie Night" basket for SCLA, and I am seeking donations of items to assist in creating this basket.
You may drop off the following at SCHS this week ( Monday-Thursday June 23-27) anytime between 9-2 in the main office.  Please make sure it says SCLA on the bag or item. 
We are in need of:
New DVD's
Microwave popcorn
Movie Theater Candy
Movie Gift Cards
Anything else you think would be fun to have in a movie themed gift basket.

SCLA Seniors~  PROJECTS AND COLLEGE NOTES



We are so excited to have you in the fall and look forward to an amazing year with your Capstone Projects.  I have met with Mrs. Kohn  and Mr. Finnestead and we are working to  fine tune the process and look for ways to help you be more successful with your projects.

That being said, your projects are all still under review.  Some may not get final approval or may still require additional information prior to approval.  Some two person projects are under review as there is a concern that the project scope is not large enough to warrant two people working on it all year.   It might be good to consider some other ideas as back up plans in the event your project is not approved.

Another possibility is that you have changed your mind and found something during the summer that is more interesting to you and you would like to do another project.  Gather information so that you can present that to us in the fall.

You will be given time in the fall to work on new ideas or fine tune your current ideas, so don't panic!
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me via email anytime this summer.

Also, many of you are beginning you college applications.  Please do not forget to include SCLA on your resume or consider using some of the events you have done to write your essays.   For example, being an integral part of planning a leadership evening for elementary school students can be a great essay.   I am also happy to write letters of recommendation for you if needed.  Use SCLA to the fullest to help you achieve your goals. That is why we exist!!
