We just met last week to plan our second annual Summer Blast. Among the events will be a student to student forum during which time freshmen will get to discuss their concerns with sophs, jrs, and seniors; a parent-administrator session; a session on organizing for success including organizing flashdrive files and using Cornell notes; a session on NC Graduation Project requirements; time to meet the teachers who will be working with freshmen; an info packet with required class materials for all courses; info on accessing the NCDPI web site to get info on standard course of study for each course; a series of video commercials from all clubs and organizations to explain their purposes and who to contact in order to join; a cookout for parents, students, and administrators on the last day; and team-building activities...and we have follow-up events in the fall and the Success Prep conferences in the spring...WOW...thanks Scott for turning up the flames on our freshmen awareness.

I won't be - Ray Moore is gong to be coming there. Will you be a part of his presentation? If you have any thoughts to share regarding what your faculty members might need to hear, I'd encourage you to contact Ray and share them with him.
