STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: MIKHAILA HUTCHISON
Science and art are two of my favorite things, but I also love to watch movies and television shows. Someday, I want to make films, either for my primary career, or just as a hobby. I've really been enjoying these last couple years in class with you guys! See you soon! ;D

COUNSELOR SPOTLIGHT: JULIE POWERS
Hi Insight Students! My name is Julie Powers and I am the Counselor for students with last names L-Rh! Hope you all are having a good semester.
A little bit about myself… I started Insight ten years ago during the very first year! We only had seven graduates that first year. We have really grown! I love my job as a Counselor, helping students on their path and transition from high school to college. In my free time I love to paint, and below you'll see a painting of my dog, Odie. He’s a Wheaten Terrier and the love of my life.
If you’d like to see some of my other paintings, here’s my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PaintingsbyOdieandMom/?fref=ts
Thank you for allowing me to share a little about myself! Happy holidays everyone!

K12 NATIONAL CLUBS - CHECK IT OUT!!!
National clubs meet online, and include students from across the United States. Clubs will meet online twice a month in November, but only once a month in December and January, due to holidays. Students are welcome to join up to FOUR K12 National Clubs!
Almost all K12 National Clubs are open year-round! The time it takes to hear from a national club after sign-up depends on the timing of the sign-up. Signups are collected every 2 or 3 weeks, so don't worry if you don't hear from the club leader for a week or two!

Making Friends As We Get Older
1. Be kind. Say hello! A simple hello can change someone's whole day. Add a smile :).
2. Be a great listener. Don't just talk - listen to what others have to say.
3. Get off the phone, internet, etc. and GET OUTSIDE. Find a activity, sport, club to join with others who share your interests. It's easier to converse when you have things in common.
4. Be kind. As a person in general be kind. Be helpful, loving, and understanding.
5. Have confidence. People notice our demeanor. Try to get out of your comfort zone a little and make yourself approachable.
6. Be yourself. Make friends that will like you for you.
Family Outing Idea (submitted by Steven Martin)
Dazzling light displays, the smell of fresh hot donuts, the holiday sounds of carolers, and so much more make The Lights of Christmas the perfect holiday destination.
