Pawsitive Pal of the Week
Our Pawsitive Pal of the week is none other than Mr. Red Lion, Sam Cooley. Mr. Cooley can be considered the heart of our building, always there to make us remember why Red Lion is so remarkable and to make each of us laugh. He's a coach, friend, and dad to many of us here in the High School. As many of you know, he'll be out for surgery coming up, so we want to make sure that he knows we're all rooting for him. Thank you for being you, Mr. Cooley! We'll be waiting for you to return!!

Junior Achievement Real Life Volunteers Needed!
We need your help! On April 9 & 10, Junior Achievement of South Central PA will be at Red Lion Area Senior High School with their REAL Life Program. All students in 11th grade will be participating in the day-long program. It consists of a series of activities all intended to help students gain an appreciation for the importance of owning their own economic success.
Half of the day is spent in our Budget Builder activity. The other half has students gaining an understanding about going out into the real world after high school. The REAL Life day is intended to help students gain an appreciation of the importance that financial decisions will play in their lives as young adults. The program will inspire students to appreciate the key issues surrounding personal finance and the importance of getting good advice as they make decisions.
For this day to be a success, we will need volunteers to facilitate ONE of the REAL Life activities for the day as students rotate through your station. You do not need to be an approved school volunteer to help with this day. Junior Achievement will provide online training as well as on-site support to all volunteers. A light breakfast and lunch will also be available for volunteers.
To sign up to volunteer, click this link or contact Shannon Baker, Vice President Program Operations, at sbaker@jascpa.org.
