Class of 2024 Upcoming Program Information

On-Line Portfolio Information

You have two projects left to successfully complete SLJC. The first is the on-line portfolio. This will take a few hours to complete and is something that you should use as you move into college. I've put a sample of a student who graduated a few years ago - he continues to update his portfolio and keeps it on his resume. I encourage all of you to work hard on it, check your spelling, read the rubric, follow the directions carefully and ASK QUESTIONS if you don't understand. We will be working on this at our next program day - bring your laptop and plan to work on it there. It is due in January, but it is important to have it started prior to our December 6th program day.

As I said at the last program day, you should all try to connect with former SLJC students who are in college or careers. Here is a link to all of them:

SOS Ambassadors Named

3 students from the class of 2025 have been named to the SOS Ambassador team. They will be learning about the program, etc. in order to be "veterans" when we name the remainder of the team in June. This was not an easy decision, and some of you are already on the short list for the team from your applications so don't feel sad - we will name the entire team in June, 2024. The three students named as 2024-25 SOS Ambassadors are: Timi Akinyele, Innovation Academy, Green Team; Stuti Mohan, Chattahoochee High School, Blue Team, and Bhuvanthi (Bee) Chapalamadugu, Northview High School, Green Team.
