Summer Options 

It is important to take a break, relax, and have some fun over the  summer but it is also important  to do something that will interest you, challenge you, and prepare you. Some examples include community service, community college class, job/internship, or attending a summer program. Involvement looks great when applying to college, a post-secondary program, scholarship and a job.
