Longfellow's First Student-Run Career Fair is in need of Speakers
My name is Cailin Reid. My friend June Shaller and I are planning a career fair at Longfellow Middle School, the middle school here in our neighborhood. We are in 8th grade and are working on our Silver Award, which is the second highest award in Girl Scouts. This award includes finding an issue in our community and finding a long-lasting solution.
We wanted to address the issue of the lack of student motivation in middle school students so we decided to create an annual career fair at Longfellow Middle School to help motivate students. We chose to focus on Longfellow specifically because it is one of the more under-resourced middle schools in Berkeley, and I am a proud Longfellow student.
We are looking for people to inspire students at the career fair by volunteering to share information about your job there. By agreeing to come, you are helping out many middle school students! We hope to have a wide range of careers and as diverse a pool of people as possible, and are especially looking for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and immigrants to present.
The Career Fair will be at Longfellow Middle School on May 16 from 3:00 to 5:00. If you ARE able to make it, please fill out the form below: Longfellow Middle School Career Fair Sign-Up Sheet
If you are NOT able to make it, please ask any colleagues if they could come so that we can get as many volunteers there as possible!
If you have any questions, please feel free to email either juneshaller@students.berkeley.net or cailinreid@students.berkeley.net!
Please reply ASAP so that we can better plan, Thank you!
Cailin & June

La primera feria profesional dirigida por estudiantes de Longfellow necesita oradores
Mi nombre es Cailin Reid. Mi amiga June Shaller y yo estamos planeando una feria profesional en la escuela secundaria Longfellow, la escuela secundaria aquí en nuestro vecindario. Estamos en octavo grado y estamos trabajando en nuestro Premio Plata, que es el segundo premio más alto en Girl Scouts. Este premio incluye encontrar un problema en nuestra comunidad y encontrar una solución duradera.
Queríamos abordar el problema de la falta de motivación de los estudiantes de secundaria, por lo que decidimos crear una feria profesional anual en Longfellow Middle School para ayudar a motivar a los estudiantes. Elegimos centrarnos en Longfellow específicamente porque es una de las escuelas intermedias con menos recursos en Berkeley y soy un estudiante orgulloso de Longfellow.
Buscamos personas que inspiren a los estudiantes en la feria profesional ofreciéndose como voluntarios para compartir información sobre su trabajo allí. ¡Al aceptar venir, estás ayudando a muchos estudiantes de secundaria! Esperamos tener una amplia gama de carreras y un grupo de personas lo más diverso posible, y estamos especialmente buscando personas BIPOC, LGBTQ+ e inmigrantes para presentar.
La feria profesional será en la escuela secundaria Longfellow el 16 de mayo de 3:00 a 5:00. Si PUEDE asistir, complete el formulario a continuación: Hoja de inscripción para la feria profesional de Longfellow Middle School
Si NO puede asistir, ¡pregúntele a algún colega si puede venir para que podamos conseguir tantos voluntarios como sea posible!
Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en enviar un correo electrónico a juneshaller@students.berkeley.net o cailinreid@students.berkeley.net.
Responda lo antes posible para que podamos planificar mejor. ¡Gracias!

Urgent need from PTA:
We need a volunteer to take over as Treasurer! Please help our school fulfill this mandatory requirement. The Executive Committee is ready to stand by you and support you, even if you have no experience. We are looking for someone willing to join in and give back to Longfellow. Can you help? Reply to this email and say, "Okay, I'll give it a try, but if I could share the duties with 1-2 others that would be even better" or say, "I'm amazing and I'll do it all by myself". Thank you!
Mark your calendars!

Sylvia Mendez Elementary, 2840 Ellsworth St, Berkeley, CA
ALL ARE WELCOME!
RSVP for dinner and childcare https://bit.ly/SM-Dyslexia
Did you know up to 1 in 5 people have symptoms of dyslexia?
The IDA writes: "As many as 15–20% of the population as a whole—have some of the symptoms of dyslexia, including slow or inaccurate reading, poor spelling, poor writing, or mixing up similar words. Not all of these will qualify for special education, but they are likely to struggle with many aspects of academic learning and are likely to benefit from systematic, explicit, instruction in reading, writing, and language."
This event is organized by: Sylvia Mendez PTA, Decoding Dyslexia CA, North Region SELPA CAC Advocacy Committee, Reading for Berkeley, and more.

No todos estos califican para educación especial, pero es probable que tengan dificultades con muchos aspectos del aprendizaje académico y es probable que se beneficien de una instrucción sistemática y explícita en lectura, escritura y lenguaje".
