“When schools, parents, families, and communities work together to support learning, students tend to earn higher grades, attend school more regularly, stay in school longer, and enroll in higher level programs.” (Van Roeckel, 2008, p. 1) Deer Valley High School in Glendale, AZ is the first high school built in the Deer Valley Unified Scholl District, and with a population around 1800 students, the high school is one of the bigger schools in the state. It has a tradition of family on its’ campus, where there are still teachers teaching that were there when the school opened in 1980. A number of former students have become new teachers on campus and just about all the teachers’ children have attended and graduated from the campus. With a school like ours, there are many connections to the community around it and it is demonstrated by the programs that bring in parent and community to help with the development of our students. There are numerous booster clubs run on our campus to help support student achievement on the sports fields, a school to work programs to teach the students necessary skills in different areas of either nursing, sports medicine classes, and in the culinary arts classrooms, and funding to our school to help ensure all students graduate on time. There are many programs on our campus, but I will discuss four of the programs: baseball booster club, C2G program, “school-to-work”, and the special education program sponsored by Arrowhead Hospital. These programs are designed to improve the relationships between the campus and the people in the community, and give all students on campus every opportunity to succeed in their future.
Many people know the name Donald Trump very well, while others know little about him. Some have very strong opinions to Trump running for president and others are on his side, despite what he says. This is a very controversial topic in politics right now, especially because he has many supporters and he is a republican. Donald Trump has too many suspicions about his running for president. For example, he ran for president before as a Democrat but failed and he went to run again, but is now a Republican. Trump also had gone bankrupt before, yet he is running for president. He also has made statements that he wants to stop immigrants from coming into the United States, which has made a lot of people believe he is racist. There are many different
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we will be celebrating by having a “Dress in Green Casual Day” contest. Please wear your favorite St. Patty’s Day apparel. To be judged, please stop by the cafeteria (main campus) between 2:30pm - 3:30pm on Friday, March 17th, 2017. Winner will receive free movie tickets!!
This speech is bigger than me... bigger than this graduating class... and the world surrounding us. It is an epiphany. This speech is for the little guy, the middle man and the guy who is always behind the scenes... For the past four years, we have seen stories, read newspaper articles, and have heard announcements about our star athletes, scholars and over achievers.
The typical population of the New Hopewell Elementary School is more toward families who have low income and sometimes cannot provide the necessary resources or opportunities to their children. This is where a community school like New Hopewell intervenes and helps. The school provides healthy and dental plans to families who can not have one. Services such as tutoring, academic enrichment, and counseling for families can be received. They also really encourage and implement family engagement. The school offers many after-school programs for the students to get involved with and allows for many volunteer opportunities for families. I am very surprised at the number of programs they offer after school because they have something for everybody
Welcome to America. Land of the free, home of the brave. A place they call the “land of opportunity”. Or more famously touted as the “American Dream”. It seems like by just hearing these phrases all you have to do is journey to America to make your dreams come true. That life will be easier by just being in America. Like America is the ice cream man with his truck that plays that all too familiar jingle. As soon as you hear it, like a child you are out of your house pining for his attention so that he may stop and give you the cool, sweet refreshment that everyone loves. Yet, forgetting that in order to get the sweet treat you need to pay. Because, no matter how friendly, nice, or inviting he is. He still needs to work, he still needs to keep his lights on, he has mouths to feed. That ice cream is not free. There is no free lunch.
Before the man of your dreams slipped an engagement ring on your finger, you probably laughed at movies, magazine articles and Facebook memes about bridezillas. But now that your wedding is on the horizon, could it be possible that you’ve turned into one yourself? If you’re planning a walk down the aisle in the near future, it’s absolutely vital to know the warning signs of a bridezilla so you can avoid winding up friendless and alone.
I'm Liz from your POLI 109 class at 2:00 pm. We spoke last class about how it might be possible for me to get the fee for Top Hat waived. I'll be honest, this is a little embarrassing, having to ask for this, but I could really use the help. I would ask my parents, but, as much as I love them, they're not the most charitable people. After the first snow this year, I asked them for some new shoes because mine had holes in them and snow had gotten inside. Their response: "you're grown ass adult and you'll have to figure it out yourself". My shoes still have holes in them, for the record.
Fifty-six years ago, a working-class town located in Michigan created a program that undoubtedly changed lives. It was called the Perry Preschool, which was a program for 3 to 4-year-olds that focused on early education. Over 5 decades later, the results from their hands-on curriculum and well-prepared educators are hard to ignore. Those children who are now in their 50s are much better off in life.
Let’s just say it: The Socialist Left cares more about gun confiscation than commonsense ideas that will really protect kids.
We have officially stepped into the fall season, and at Cassels Garage we couldn’t be happier. The school year is in full swing and now is the perfect time to start planning some family outings. Brevard County is full of school spirit as the football season is underway, cheer and dance practices are off to a high-kick, and the school band is in tune with all the hits to keep you grooving. There is so much going on this fall season, so we thought we might give you some ideas of things you might enjoy.
I hope you are doing well! I am about to start my second semester at Southwest Baptist University and I'm loving every second of it. I'm so lucky that I get to play volleyball while getting an education. I am working on a business major so that one day I can run my own boutique. This coming spring I will get the chance to travel through SBU to Honduras for a mission trip and I am super excited. What makes it more exciting is that I get to go with some of my volleyball teammates and my dad. This will be my first missions trip and I am so blessed to have the time and opportunity this year!
Not until I started attending Seattle Central Community College (SCCC) as a Running Start student did I appreciate the sacrifices my parents had made. By meeting people from diverse backgrounds at SCCC and spending more time apart from my family, I finally understood what my parents had been trying to teach me through homeschooling. They wanted to nurture my spiritual needs and didn’t want me to forget our cultural background and values, especially...
Last year so many of you guys donated to purchase water proof rain jackets, ponchos and tarps to the homeless community. The experience touched my heart and inspired me to continue it again this year.
There is no arguing Walt Disney practiced what he preached. In fact, he did what he did so well that people continue to bring others to see what he did to this day, that being Disneyland. First, we’ll start by learning about the background history of Disneyland. Next, we’ll compare Disneyland from when it first started to what it has developed into. And finally, we’ll explore all the eight parks and what they have to offer.
