Look for this symbol on a poster in your school! 

We will be posting information you need to know such as meeting dates,

times and places.
 

 

7th graders— Finish the year strong!   Make it your goal to be on the principal's or superintendent's honor roll the last nine weeks.  Get ready for STEPS Summer Camp!  Remember, your teacher is there to share information with you.  It is your responsibility to learn!  Keep reading - check out the "recommended reads" on the Learning Corner and send us a book report!   http://www.se.edu/talentsearch/images/MCj04280650000%5b1%5d.gif
 

8th graders— Check out the "recommended reads" on the "Learning Corner" page or brain teasers!  Have you done something nice for someone else today?  Did you do it without expecting a lot of attention?  Have you volunteered in your community?  Go, do good things!  Keep in touch!  If you haven't send your OHLAP application in!  You could use some help in paying for college tuition, right?
 

9th  graders—Check out the latest "recommended reads" on the Learning Corner page and earn some T$s as well.  Read!  Be sure when your Guidance Specialist comes to your school that you attend the meetings and let him/her know of anything you need that STEPS can help you with!  Be sure to  sign up for OHLAP this year!
 

10th graders— Get your OHLAP application completed and submitted now!  What are you waiting for? June 30 is your final deadline - your last chance to sign up if you have not already and it is very important that you do so!   OHLAP is one way to assure you have funding for college, so take advantage of the opportunity provided to you.  Volunteer to help someone who needs it!  Think about what you would like to be doing 10 years from now.  Make a plan.  Set a goal!
 

Juniors—Register online and take the ACT in April!  We have fee waivers available and you may take the ACT twice using fee waivers!  The first time, do your best, and learn about the ACT.  The second time, get your score as high as you can!  This year we encourage you to be a leader and represent yourself and STEPS in your school and community. Have a library?  Volunteer?  Know an elderly person who could use some help?  How about the Boys and Girls Clubs?  Volunteer!  What career are you interested in knowing more about?  Do some research!  Stretch your mind! and your body!  Participate in community service activities whenever you can and be a leader among your peers.  Read.  Check the website frequently for brain games, trivia, and the latest "Recommended Reads".
