Students are invited to attend a presentation put on by the United States Navy about their Nuclear Power Program for the Kansas City Metro area. A representative from the Navy will be here during seminar on November 4th, and he will be giving a short presentation about the benefits of Nuclear Power, a little bit about how it works, and some information about the Navy's Nuclear Power Program.

We are treating this just like a college rep visit, but we do have a separate sign up form since we are opening this up to all students at GEHS. Please complete our sign-up form linked here: https://forms.gle/mrc8aLdk5T1UQXfs7

More information about the program can be found in the PDF linked below. If you have any questions beforehand, please see Christine Jacobs in the Counseling Office.

We want to display, promote, and especially celebrate the future plans of our senior class! Upstairs, right at the entrance of the 400 hallway, we have created an acceptance wall. When one of our seniors decides on the path they are going to take after graduation, whether that is college, working, trade school, military, or whatever else there is out there, we want them to sign their name to the corresponding sign on our acceptance wall. And if we don't have a sign for someone's next step, they need to talk to their counselor and we'll get it added!

If you are going on a college visit during a school day, please have your parent call Jill Washington, Attendance Secretary, 856-2610, at least two days prior to your visit in order for your absence to be coded as a school activity. You (the student) will also need to see Jill to obtain a College Visit Form.

• Seniors and Juniors may take two release days to visit colleges.
• No more than one visit may be taken in any quarter.
