Just a reminder: NO SCHOOL Monday for teacher training. Mrs. Syms and Mrs. Mulbery attended Ready Bodies Learning Minds in Dallas, Texas this week. They were trained on how learning happens through sensory integration and motor theories. As well as how to offer our students foundational support for success by adding motion in the classroom and in a motor lab. We are excited about the opportunity this training is going to bring to our school and the possibilities for our students. Mrs. Syms and Mrs. Mulbery will be training our teachers on this new program. Great job!!!

Mini cheer clinic forms and payment are due Tuesday, Septtember 17th by 3:25 PM.

CLEP® exams help students earn college credit for what they already know for a fraction of the cost of a college course. For the 2018-19 school year, more than 140 high schools offered CLEP to their students, helping them earn more than 52,000 credits and saving them roughly $17 million in college tuition. Consider CLEP as an option for students who: • Are fluent in Spanish, French, or German • Attend a school that doesn’t offer an AP® course they’re interested in • Are unavailable to test during the AP or International Baccalaureate (IB) testing window • Have prior knowledge in a CLEP exam subject To learn how CLEP can supplement your high school curriculum, email us at clep@collegeboard.org.

On behalf of Colonel David Fallon, Marine Corps Commanding Officer in the Midwest region, I wanted to make you aware of an opportunity to see the process of young men and women becoming U.S. Marines. Each year, the Marine Corps hosts high school influencers in San Diego to become better informed on the recruitment process, entry-level training, career opportunities, the emphasis on education in the Marine Corps, and to dispel myths and assumptions based on USMC stereotypes, family support, and community services. This program is an all-expenses paid, one-week immersion program where you can have the chance to stand on the infamous yellow footprints, observe and talk to recruits in recruit training, shoot the Marine Corps service rifle, interact with drill instructors, participate in the Bayonet Assault Course, and witness a recruit graduation ceremony. The following are links to videos on what your peers have said about our program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEWfE8fkC48 https://www.dvidshub.net/video/708007/mcrd-san-diego-educators-workshop If this interests you, and you think you're up to the challenge, please contact 9th Marine Corps District at 9MCD_MidWestMarines_OMB@marines.usmc.mil and we will contact you promptly. Please provide the following: school, phone number and location so the Marine Corps contact in your area can provide you more information on specific dates. We look forward to hearing from you.
