Reminders

Just wanted to remind you all that the next ACT registrations deadline is the January 6th for the February 7th test date. Remember, Talent Search students get 2 fee waivers to use. Make sure you get your waiver if you haven't used your two yet. Christmas break is coming fast. Half the year is almost over! Can you believe it? Don't let things pass you by!

New Stuff Is Coming

I know it's been a while, but it's because we are hard at work here! ;) New features have been added and will continue to be added in the coming days. As you can see to the right, there is now a slide show of some of the pictures in the photo album. What!? You didn't know we had a photo album? Well go check it out then.

Alright. The new podcast is here. Click on the link at the top, especially if you are interested in broadcasting or public speaking.

Blog Action Day 2008: Poverty

This year's Blog Action Day topic is poverty, so I want to take this opportunity to give out information about some of the local organizations that help to fight poverty. These are all places you can contact to get volunteer hours. These volunteer hours can go on your resume and be used to obtain scholarships that require them. Not only are you helping to reduce poverty, but you are also earning respect and volunteer credits. Contact these organization and ask if they take volunteers.
