The high school I teach for has hosted an event for the last two years. It is part of a grant, but it is also part of a movement to help people in rural areas to sign up for financial aid to go to college. We have it in regional areas in the state, and our school has been able to host in for the past two years. Lots of our seniors come and go ahead and so their financial aid. We have a few people who are certified in the FASFA, and the rest of us just try to assist. Everyone can come, not just high school students, it is more of an outreach to encourage higher learning. It was a tremendous success and a big help last year. I worked at it this afternoon and into the evening. It seemed to be a success again. I am just glad we can help our kids. There is so much negative publicity about teachers and schools, but not a lot of attention on things like this. So many teachers volunteered the entire evening, until 7 pm on a Friday night. Plus, many of us brought food and other stuff for the participants and the other volunteers, so I just thought I'd put it out there. There are teachers that care. There are many fabulous teachers. We are doing everything we can to help kids.
Also, a very special thanks to my Key Club volunteers today!! Ya'll are the best, and I can't wait to take you all to the Kiwanis meeting for the luncheon!
