Aspen Challenge
Aspen Challenge is a team sport similar to Shark Tank but for community solutions. A team of 8 students will choose a community problem and learn how to work as a team to find a solution for that problem. The teams will pitch their solution in June and the top three teams go to Aspen Colorado (free trip).
Why join? Great experience to be part of a solution. Meet great people, stretch, and grow your abilities. Great for college and job applications. SIGN UP HERE
The meeting will be on Wednesday at lunch in Room 405.
Coaches:
Mr. Navarro, Physics
Mr. Litvin, Engineering
Articulation
Last week, counselors met with students in grades 9, 10, 11 to select classes for the 2024-2025 school year. Students completed this process using a Google Form. Copies of the completed Google Form will be emailed to each student. Students will also receive a paper copy of the articulation form for parents to review and sign. Please contact your student’s counselor if you have any questions.
