Jag students will be conducting an interview workshop during 2nd and 3rd periods on Thursday, April 16, 2015. The workshop will include demonstrations about how to properly dress for an interview, what questions to plan to answer, and other details about the interview process to help individuals stand out from the rest of the candidates applying for jobs. The first half of the workshop will feature Jag students sharing what they have learned in the Jag program about getting jobs. There will be skits demonstrating good and bad interviews followed by some participant practice answering common interview questions. The second half of the workshop will feature local Jag partners who are businessmen in the community. They will conduct interviews with the workshop participants and assess each interview with points scored for appearance, communication skills, opening and closing. Participants will complete several interviews during the hour. Their assessments will be totaled and the highest scoring participants will receive gift cards to local businesses. Gift card amounts will be determined based on the number of participants in the workshop. This is an active participation workshop. “You won’t be sitting and listening for two hours,” Boren said. “I’m proud that my Jag students have planned and organized this event to share what they have learned. I don’t have any students unemployed that want to be employed so what they will share will help anyone present compete in a difficult job market.” There is a limited enrollment in the workshop. Seniors will be given priority, followed by juniors, sophomores and freshmen. A registration fee of $5 is required to secure a seat in the seminar. Deadline for registering is April 10. You can register in room 918 or at a table during lunch April 8-10. Jag students prepare all the slogan banners to decorate the stage. With this community service project, Jag students have passed the 1000 man hour goal we set to start the year. The interview workshop will add to that community service work FHS Paw Prints...

Student council invited all teachers, administrators and counselors to nominate one student that they believed possessed the qualities of being a great leader. They are asked to nominate a student and provide a reason why. Student council collects the nominations, makes goodie bags for the nominees, and places the teacher nomination with the reason in the bag. I have to say, when the students read the nominations, their faces light up. It is such a positive experience for the students. Student council then sends a breakfast invitation to the nominees, and on the day of the breakfast the nominated students are called to the cafeteria where they receive their goodie bag with the nomination form and breakfast from the cafeteria.

What it means to make HISTORY 2015. It means I walked the halls of FHS, Proud and confident I was part of the best. I’ve cheered, studied, laughed and guessed, I’ve been tested, encouraged, and even blessed. After all I was a Bulldog at FHS. What it means to make HISTORY 2015. It means I have the makings to change the world, My sight & visions are undeterred. Road blocks, brick walls are not the end, Only opportunities to circumvent. It’s my courage that counts in failure and success, I will prevail, as I’ve been groomed to do my best. The next chapter of life I have enrolled, Keep stepping, don’t give up, I will reach my goal.
