Dale Carnegie Training For Young Adults
Are you ready to discover skills that last a lifetime?
Dale Carnegie for Young Adults is designed to prepare young people for the real world. It gives them the skills they need to reach their goals and live up to their full potential - at school, home, and work. The curriculum was developed with feedback from students. It consists of eight three-hour, highly interactive sessions that include real-life scenarios and role-playing.
Today, the world is more complex, competitive and demanding than ever before. Young people often need to balance school, work and relationships while at the same time, working and planning for their future. Dale Carnegie for Young Adults can help teens become more confident and better able to cope with the pressure and stress adolescents face.
June 28th-30th, 2017

Parkin
g Lot Safety - Help Needed
International is in desperate need of volunteers to help with Parking Lot safety before and after school.
Signup here. You don't have to create an account to sign up, and an email reminder can be sent a couple days in advance.
In addition, we are working with the City of Bellevue to help with entrance/exit congestion; however, congestion in the parking lot itself can only be improved by drivers pulling even further forward than they think is necessary to allow more students to exit vehicles at a time.
