This is a friendly reminder that the Parent Group Meeting this month is Tuesday February 7th at 6:00pm. Hope to see you there! 🙂

The King Career Center will have a brief presentation followed by a tour on Tuesday February 7th, 21st and 28th at 6:00pm. We would like to invite current 10th and 11th grade students and your parents to explore various CTE programs available at KCC.  We have scheduled different nights for schools to attend, but if you can’t attend the designated night, you are welcome to come a night that works for you.  We hope to see you at KCC on one of these Tuesday nights:

7th              Bartlett/East/Steller/Family Partnership
21st             Eagle River/Chugiak/Dimond/Polaris
28th            Service/West/South/Frontier/Paideia

For the 20th year, we are offering the yearly Alaska Points of
Light Youth Leadership Institute training during Spring Break. The coalition
Friends of Alaska PYLI works collaboratively with all school and
community based organizations to provide a World Class Community
Service Leadership Training to all interested students. We are also a
ASD School Business Partner and Alaska PYLI is an official ASD
Credit By Choice Option. The registration cost is $ 100 but we have
some scholarships available based upon need.

We are inviting diverse students in grades 8-12 to attend the March 13-17
Alaska PYLI being held in Anchorage during Spring Break. (9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.)
Because we anticipate a larger, more diverse group of students, we will
have the PYLI Institute at the Jack White Real Estate Training Room in the
Centerpoint Building in Anchorage instead of the Anchorage Corps Community Center.
