From the "Guidance Department"
Did you know that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the United States?
On January 9, 2017, we will be hosting Cruisin' Smart® for our students. Cruisin' Smart, a community education initiative of Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital, is a unique program that brings people face to face with the consequences of driving impaired or distracted by using true-life tragedies to instruct and change attitudes. Young speakers who are survivors of life-altering injuries warn their audiences that being impaired or distracted while driving can often result in a fate worse than death.
This is a very powerful and important message we will be bringing to the student body.

Student Contest Corner for December:
Click Here
Listed below are monthly contests for our students to participate in that offer extra enrichment in a variety of subjects and challenge students' writing, research, and multi-media skills. These contests are optional and can be submitted on your own or also through your teachers. We hope you will take this opportunity to compete academically both locally and on a national level.
- Stossel "Tech Revolution" Essay Contest - due February17, 2017. "Technological innovation has changed our lives, mostly for the better. But some innovations raises safety questions. Some threatens existing businesses. What should America do about that?"
- Cassini Scientist for a Day Contest - due February 24, 2017. The Cassini Scientist for a Day contest challenges students to become NASA scientists studying Saturn. Participants examine three possible observations taken by Cassini and are tasked to choose the one they think will yield the best scientific results. This choice must then be supported in essay.
- Bright Schools Competition - due February 6, 2017. The program is to create a learning experience that will help students, parents and teachers better understand the link between light, sleep and student health and performance. Through the competition, students in grades 6-8 select a topic related to light and sleep and select one of three exploration options (developing a prototype, creating an awareness campaign or writing a research proposal) to create an original project.
- Young Writers, write your novel now! NANO WRIMO Young Writers Program
