This week is Spirit Week! Park, Highland, and Central wil all have the same dress up days.
Dear Junior & Senior Parents & Students:
The November 1st scholarship application deadline is quickly approaching, and we want you to be ready! Many schools (including vo-tech and state schools like PSU) use the FAFSA and online applications to award multiple lesser-known scholarships, many of which do not require a low income or high GPA and ACT scores to qualify. In fact, researchers claim that *a regular high school student may have the qualifications for as many as 50 to 100 scholarships," and one secret to earning more scholarship money is "getting your application materials ready for on-the-spot submission."
I am Janie Jarrett, a lifelong Columbus girl and CUHS, PSU & Mizzou graduate. My administrative background, where I read hundreds of applications for employment, coupled with my expertise in writing, and my own success in navigating college funding sources, qualifies me to coach seniors toward creating more competitive applications. In eight years of college, I was able to secure scholarship money that paid my tuition and provided an additional living stipend. In the upcoming workshop, I will help students create a toolbox with which to present themselves in the best possible light in the application process.
You're invited to join us OCTOBER 11th & 18th @ 11am in the high school auditorium. Cost is $50 each (some scholarships are available) for two sessions with Janie Jarrett and a scholarship application/essay toolbox to last a lifetime!

Today was such a fun day. I got to visit the littles at Park school this morning at 7:15 for breakfast. They have so much energy early in the morning.
Then I had lunch at Highland and enjoyed visiting with some really cool kids.

Attached is the most up to date Soccer schedule for the high school.
The game scheduled with Parsons today has been cancelled because of their field being too wet and unplayable. Looking for a date to reschedule.
Lady Titan Golf played an 18 hole tournament at Briarbrook, hosted by Carl Junction. The following schools were there: Lamar, Carthage, Joplin, Republic, Carl Junction, Pittsburg, and Webb City. Missouri only gives out the top two teams, but your Lady Titans placed 3rd. Missouri also only hands out the top 5 individual places. Mallory Thompson placed 2nd overall, Reese Grundy tied for 4th place. The Lady Titans were not intimidated playing the bigger schools at all. They hung in there and played very well.
Jr. High fall sports photos will be Wednesday, September 13th. Kids will be called out at 2:15 and we will start pictures then. They will still practice after photos.
Lady Titans Golf placed 3rd as a team at Girard on Thursday. Individually, Mallory Thompson tied for first but lost the tie breaker and finished in second. Reese Grundy placed third. Great job, ladies!
