Hopefully, this will spark some interesting conversation about how you would like to grow and what new opportunities you would like to take on this year. If you have not completed the 3-minute survey, <a href="https://forms.gle/NcsuawwbUoYL6Xzu6">please do so here.<br></a><br>Please note that next week kicks off a few important college and university events: On Monday night, 23 September from 19:00 - 20:00, a US College admissions representative will talk to any student interested in how to write those tricky “Why ____ [institution name]” essay. If you are interested in attending, <a href="https://forms.gle/8oaz9Let7U8wN6ud9">please complete this form</a> and share what you would like to learn.<br><br>On Friday of next week, 27 September, we have nearly 90 schools coming to our college / university fair. Students will have access from 9:00 - 11:00 and parents can come, if they like, from 10:00 - 11:00. The workshop next Monday evening will also be designed to help Seniors think through how best to take advantage of this opportunity: to learn about schools and make a great impression. <br><br>Many of you have already started talking about the number of things on your to-do list without having enough time to accomplish everything. This is a great chance to practice time management and responsibility -- balancing workload while maintaining quality communication with teachers, advisors, college counselors, parents, and friends.<br><br>Have a great week,<br>Mr. Hauck<br></p> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table align="center" width="640" class="main" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td> <table width="640" class="main-background" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td style="padding: 10px 20px" class="main-padding" align="center" valign="top"> <table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="100%" align="left" class="column-table"> <tr> <td valign="top" class="leftColumnContent" align="left" style="text-align: left; line-height: 22px; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; color: #000000;"> <h1 style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; color: #e67e22;" width="100%"> ANNOUNCEMENTS </h1> <p style="text-align: left; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; line-height: 22px; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; color: #000000;"><strong></strong><strong>SAVE THE DATES:</strong><br><ul><li><strong style="font-weight: bold;">September 19th:</strong> Parent Tea for Parents new to US HS education - 4:30-5:30pm</li><li><strong>September 23rd:</strong> College Kick-off for Grade 11 Students and Parents - REQUIRED for students. 7pm Student Center</li><li><strong>September 27th:</strong> College Fair 9-11am Farmer Gym.
