Builders Club Meeting This Week
College Go! Week
September 21-25 is College Go! week in Indiana. Schools across Indiana will be helping students explore information and resources designed to help Hoosiers plan for education beyond high school. Although not everyone goes to a traditional 4-year college, everyone will need some type of post-secondary training. Career choice determines the level and type of training each student will pursue.
At SMS, we will honor College Go! week by wearing college apparel all week. Students and staff are encouraged to wear college t-shirts or sweatshirts. School staff will be sharing stories of their college experiences. Students are encouraged to check out the Information about College page in the SMS Community course on canvas. Mrs. Naugle and Mrs. Asdell will be doing a giveaway of college swag at the end of each day.
Students please talk to your family members about their education experiences after high school. Share with your family what careers you are interested in and what type of training, college or otherwise, you are interested in pursuing. Parents can read more information here.
Here is a link to virtual tours of a few Indiana colleges/universities. Once you’re on this page, click on the red box that says “show table” to pull up a list of Indiana colleges and universities.
