Reminder for Senior Parents: FAFSA and Scholarship Information Meeting is Thursday at 6pm.
What is the FAFSA? Colleges and career/trade schools use the FAFSA form to determine how much financial aid you're eligible to receive, which could include grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans. (That's right, the FAFSA could lead to grants and scholarships - which are free monies!)
Solutions over problems. Kelly Prickett from IHCC Regional Entrepreneurship Center visited with our Intro to Business students during their unit on entrepreneurship. They wrote down all the "problems" they could think of and worked to reframe those problems into solution-oriented business ideas! The students will continue working through business ideas and eventually develop a true business model.
Did someone say Cattlemen's!? Seniors and their parents are invited to a FAFSA and Scholarship information meeting on Thursday, November 14 at 6PM - Davis County Cattlemen's will be serving the meal! See you Thursday.
What better way to get feedback than to ask the young students, right here at Davis County Schools!? On Monday, our Creative Writing students visited kindergarten and second grade classrooms to read children's books which they have been working on for the past few weeks. The high school students read to several small groups of students and asked for feedback from their listeners. Sharing their stories with the younger students allowed them to put the finishing touches on their project. Through our Creative Writing course, students write poems, short stories, plays, news stories, comic strips, children's books, an autobiography and other types of writing that express creativity.
