Junior and Teen students earn their white stripe from academic achievement.
Q: Since most students are not in school, how do they earn their white stripe?
A: Learning is the key focus with earning your white stripe. You can do so by demonstrating academic initiative and "exercising your brain muscle".
Examples include:
- Bringing in a brochure from a museum, zoo, aquarium, planetarium and writing a short essay on what you learned while you were there.
- Bringing in a completed and signed summer reading list.
- Bringing an award or project from an academic summer camp.
- Bringing a note from home stating you are working on your summer math packet, doing extra tutoring, etc.
