Dear Junior High Families,
We are currently preparing for our Junior High College Fair on Wednesday, October 26 at 10:30am. This incredible annual event will be held in the Hall and will showcase high schools (6th grade), community colleges/trade schools (7th grade), and 4-year colleges and universities (8th grade).
The students have already chosen their schools and are doing research for each of the following areas: History of the School, Academic Programs, Student Life/Faith Life, and Admissions. I am attaching the College Fair Project Guidelines with due dates so you are aware of where your child is in the process. Please review this document and note that there is also a tri-fold presentation board that the students should purchase and design with information from all 4 areas of their school.
There are Exemplars for the College Fair Essay Map and Final Draft in ELA Google Classroom so the students can see how the essay needs to be organized, completed, and formatted.
Since our 8th graders had already researched high schools in 6th grade, they became familiar with the application process for admissions, as well as financial aid and scholarship opportunities. Their previous experience with the College Fair for the past two years gave them a solid foundation to discern which schools would be a good fit for them and know what they need to do to be accepted.
We are grateful to see the fruits of this special project growing in the lives of our older students, and we look forward to having you join us on 10/26 for their school presentations!
God bless,
Mrs. Dyogi
