City
Year - (is a member of Americorps)
also visited our school this week. City Year brings together young adults,
ages 17-24, from diverse backgrounds for a demanding year of full-time
community service, leadership development, and civic engagement. Students
do receive a stipend and $5,000 for college, at the end of the 10 month
period. South Miami has been selected to be one of the Founding Schools
to participate in the program. The program is just getting started in Miami,
but it is a well established program in many other cities. City Year will
also offer our students opportunities to volunteer on a part-time basis.
They will visit after spring break to give a group presentation. Encourage
your club members to get involved! If you would like more information,
email me.
Induction Ceremonies for Honor Societies -
please make sure you induct the new members before the end of the school

Through ICC we will survey all clubs/classes
in order to assess the needs and interests that clubs have for next year,
and also the strengths and weaknesses of ICC this year.
