For the month of October 2012 “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. The people who get on in this world are they who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.” George Bernard Shaw
ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES/ACHIEVEMENTS
The academic achievement recognition will be a measure of relative growth in courses by students. Mid-term grades will be compared to final course grades. Students who have “grown” an overall seven percentage points (after converting letter grades to numerical grades) will be recognized. We will work to implement this measure during the 2012-13 school year.

PLEASE HELP US HELP THE COMMUNITY!
The STEM PTSA will be sponsoring a “Help Our Community” Drive! This effort will provide an avenue for us to collected items that can be given assist families in our community that may need just a little help. We will be partnering with several different resources in the area to help us identify where our help is most needed. Some items that we will be asking our families to donate are gently used clothing, non-perishable foods, and your time. If you have non-perishable food items you would like to donate now, please do so! We will have a designated time and location to collect these items.

Opportunities for Students &
Parents/Guardians
PTSA general meeting on November 8th at STEM EC 6:30 PTSA Meeting
The SPACE (Saturday Program for Academic and
Cultural Education) Program has been offered at the
African American Cultural Center at NCSU for over
fifteen years. This year the program has been
redesigned to focus on early college high school
students 13-15 years old who will participate in an
international research and culturally based curriculum
that will link students in the U.S., Ghana, Botswana,
and Jamaica. SPACE participants will be on Saturdays,
twice each moth, and engage in interactive
collaborative learning and research with their
international counterparts.
Although the program has started, it is not too late for
interested students to join. If you are interested,
matching funds. If your company matches donations, you can double your
donation!
Thank you for donating to this important fundraiser!
