Hello Students and Parents/Guardians,
As we progress throughout the year, please be reminded that each student needs to complete 100 volunteer hours to graduate. Students can receive a copy of this documentation form from me in room 132. Impact Church offers serve projects every First Saturday. Your student can identify a serve project to complete volunteer hours here: weareimpact.com/se
I want to highlight one very special opportunity, Disney Dreamers Academy. I was selected to participate in Disney Dreamers in 2012. This program is open for all high schoolers. Students can apply at the provided link. One hundred dreamers are accepted each year. Dreamers are invited to Disney (all-expenses paid for the student and one parent) for a 4-day trip to network and gain valuable experience. Dreamers are paired with professionals in their desired field and experience presentations from guest speakers while exploring Disney World.
