Reminders for chapters and councils as the end of the school year approaches....

Knowing that student leadership is, for most of you, just a small part of your day, here are a couple tools that can be used for your "regular ed" classes, or as a neat way to get your council or chapter communicating in one location, accessible from anywhere. Think of it as an extension of your office, desk or bulletin board - a place to store information, connect with students, share ideas, work on projects and more!

National Honor Societies always seem to struggle with eligibility. Whether it's the students that are just below the minimum GPA or students that fall short on the other three pillars. A more rarely thought of case is that of "part-time students". Whether the student is part time at the local high school and part time at the career center, or at the high school and local community college, or whichever unique combination you find, there is an answer, although in some situations, that answer is about as clear as mud!

It's the perfect time to go green.

This spring, Apple will recycle your school's old, unwanted Mac computers, PCs, and qualifying peripherals from any manufacturer - for free. There's no purchase required, and all accredited K-12 and higher education institutions with at least 25* pieces to be recycled are eligible to participate. Just register in time, follow the steps, and Apple will do the rest.

Dear Advisers,

We are seeking presenters for our Executive Forum on May 12th, at the MSU Kellogg Center.

At this conference, we utilize advisers to help teach students about the positions they are taking on. We encourage you as the adviser to present with a former or outgoing student of yours from that same position so that you can share from both perspectives what is expected.
We are looking for advisers to present on the following positions:
- President
- Vice President
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Parliamentarian/Sergeant at Arms

We are also looking for advisers to present on the following topics:

Due to lack of school interest, we must cancel the Middle Level Conference on April 28th at Frankenmuth. We are working on securing a date for next spring for this same type of conference, also at the Bavarian Inn.  We hope you will join us at one of our two Middle Level ONLY Fall Training Institutes scheduled for November 5 and November 11, also at the Bavarian Inn!

ATTENTION: Student Council & Honor Society Students

WANTED: Your views-and your voices!

We want to talk with your School Council or Honor Society about life after high school. Going to work? Going to college? What choices are you and your friends making and why?

WHO ARE WE? Your Child is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving attitudes about education. We think going to college is important to your future and ours, and we've been talking about it a lot lately.
