Students, now is a great time to think about entering the “I am Thankful For…” contest. Take this weekend to think about the ONE thing you are thankful for and why you are thankful for it. Then, write a one-page paper about it or create a picture about it. Turn it in at either school in the box at the POET desk. All entries are due by Tuesday, November 15th. Good Luck! We can’t wait to see your work!

NDPA SCIENCE FAIR 2017 – Click this link to see the Science Fair Packet for NDPA’s annual Science Fair: http://northdavisprep.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/2016-2017-Science-Fair-Packet.pdf! Please make note, I have greatly reduced the information in this packet and hopefully made it more user friendly. Also a few things have changed from last year:

  • The science fair date is now the last Wednesday in January, January 25, 2017.
  • Also please note that set up will be on the same day as science fair so your students will bring their boards to the junior high gym on the same day as the fair.
  • Registration forms are now due in December before the break.

COUNSELING CORNER – ***Attention 9th Graders*** If you are interested in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program, I would suggest you check out West High’s website http://west.slcschools.org/academics/international-baccalaureate/ and attend one of their IB Info Nights on November 17 or January 19. The next review and application deadline is Monday, November 21. If you are not sure you want to go to West, I would still suggest attending this information night if you are interested in the IB program. They provide incredibly valuable information for you regarding the IB program as a whole. I will provide you with more information on the other local IB Programs as the information becomes available from Ogden, Clearfield & Bountiful high schools.

MORNING VOLUNTEER NEEDED IN THE JR. HIGH – Volunteers are needed to help in the Math Computer Lab for 6th grade students, Monday-Friday, 7:30-8:15 AM. No math knowledge is needed. Only one volunteer is needed each day; you can sign up for certain days or a week at a time. This is a great way to get your volunteer hours!
