The AP Booster Club is sponsoring a seminar "Understanding College Application Process and Writing Essays" presented by Dr. Zuker on Oct.12 at 6:30 pm at SAC at CSHS.
Dr. Zuker is a college consultant and has been to CISD to talk about the same topic; last year we had over 300 attendees.
While our students may be a while from beginning the college process it can be wonderful information for everyone to experience early.

Play it Forward
Don't forget our CHS students will sponsor "Play it Forward" at this week's Varsity Football game Friday night at Dragon Stadium. They will collect used sporting equipment, clean and refurbish it, then pass it along to kids that otherwise would not be able to play sports due to equipment needs or costs.
This is a wonderful activity sponsored by our kids to benefit others. As we continue to ask them to work for our society this is truly servant learning.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Carroll ISD is excited to be teaming up with KISD and GCISD for an October 19 forum called The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: a taxpayer's guide to the public school funding crisis. It begins at 7 p.m. in the Auditorium of Carroll Senior High School.
The overall goal is to inform taxpayers and educators about school budgeting and to initiate a call to action at the grassroots level to have taxpayers send lawmakers in Austin a strong message in support of public education. Following a general 45-minute presentation on school finance, representatives from each of the districts will be available to meet in face-to-face break-out sessions with their respective constituents.
Questions about this free, public event may be directed to the Communications/Public Information Offices in CISD.
Thank you in advance for helping us all Make Education A Priority!
