We will be leaving in the morning, hitting as many thrift stores as we can, and--usually--Plato's Closet.

We will go to the mall for lunch and shopping (if you have not found the treasures you need at the thrift store.) Please bring the following:
--Money for shopping
--Your sizes (Hey--not everyone knows. Ask your grown up to write them down for you. You will probably forget.)
--A lunch or money to buy one
We will have a quick meeting early this week so I can get a head count of who is planning on going this Friday. There will also be an email going out to all of you & your grown ups this week. This is ALWAYS a great time!

PSEO, CAREER AND COLLEGE INFORMATION

The Career Corner Newsletters are a great way to learn about many different types of careers. Check out careers and educational opportunities available. Read about skills learned in school that help prepare students for the workforce. Watch a short video about Vocational Rehabilitation Services and how they help students with disabilities plan the journey from school to what comes next.

Post-secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) is a program that allows 10th-, 11th- and 12th-grade students to earn both high school and college credit while still in high school, through enrollment in and successful completion of college courses at eligible participating post-secondary institutions. For more information click here
