"E"xcellence was displayed this week by our amazing volleyball team. They have definitely proven they are among the best teams in the state this week. They have been tremendous representatives for our school and community as they worked collectively as a team to accomplish their goals.
"R"elationships could also be seen as families, school staff, and students cheered on our volleyball players. There was an exciting energy on Thursday and Friday both in our school and at the game. I was reminded of the importance to positively support each other to achieve success.

We learned that for most students qualifying for the Pell Grant pay an average of $2000 for a year at DFC! This includes a new laptop, breakfast and lunch, bus pas and books. Even better, you get a paid internship your second semester on campus.

November is time to think about gratitude.
Did you know only 10% of your happiness depends on your situation? The rest is up to you and your mindset! A key component of happiness is the ability to manage stress through resiliency. An easy way to build your resiliency is by identifying things - large or small - that make you happy throughout the day. As a family, try out the Three Good Things activity to build resiliency and recognize that happiness can be found even in the smallest things.

ACE Mentorship Program
|
|
High school students at St. Louis Park High School can benefit from a nationwide program designed to introduce them to the wide range of career opportunities open to young people in architecture, construction, engineering, and related areas of the building design and construction industry.
At weekly meetings, student teams work directly with professionals from leading area firms, who volunteer their time to mentor the teams as they design hypothetical projects, tour local construction sites, and visit architectural, engineering and construction offices.
For students, it's a unique chance to discover and develop new skills, solidify future goals and get on track to exciting, rewarding careers. In addition, many students form positive relationships with industry professionals who can provide important references for obtaining college admissions, scholarships, internships and full-time employment.
