WELCOME TO MAY SONICS!

This is the last week for the safe grad/key club coin drive. If your advisory wants a pizza party, bring your pennies, nickels and dimes in right away.

Mount Allison University launched a pilot program to specifically target rural male students (in grade 11) who we believe have the ability to succeed in university, but for a number of reasons, may be at risk for continuing through high school and on to university. These include lack of academic preparedness, first-generation considerations, lack of knowledge as to the benefits/costs of university education and poor peer support, among others. Our program addresses these issues and others through the targeted programming, with residential experiences (summer camps here at Mount Allison for 5 days, all expenses paid) and extensive role modeling with our Student Mentors. It is our goal to increase participation and success by rural males in University Education. We also have a group on Facebook “Mount Allison University Opportunity Scholars Program”, where we can share information about the program, ask questions or just observe, if any students or staff wish to join the group. If you are interested in this program, please sign up in the Guidance Centre, for an upcoming presentation.

Students who have artwork for Fine Arts Night, please bring it in for framing a.s.a.p.

The Forbes Family Scholarship applications are now available from Mr. Huggard in room 2025.

We are looking for grade 10 and 11 students who are interested in ushering for the Baccalaureate Service on Sunday June 17th, 2012 at Kingswood college in the new Irving Chapel at 6pm. Service begins at 7pm. We would like to have 2 males and 2 females to usher for this occasion. We are also looking for 4-6 ushers for graduation. Two or 3 males and 2 or 3 females for graduation at the 8th Hussars Sports Center on Thursday June 21st at 6pm. Ceremony starts at 7pm. Anyone interested in volunteering for one or both of the above graduation activities please submit your name to your advisor to be forwarded to Mr. Huggard or see Mr. Huggard in room 2025.
