Attention 8th grade Parents-
LAUP Youth Leadership Conference- All 8th grade students are invited to attend the LAUP (Latin Americans United for Progress) Youth Leadership Conference being held at Hope College on February 17. This conference will give students the opportunity to learn from Latino leaders in our community through a keynote speaker and interactive workshops, as well as explore college and career opportunities. There are 40 spots available, and students will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis based on permission slips received. If you have any questions, please contact Karen Legg at klegg@hollandpublicschools.org.
Career Exploration Club Notes-
Mrs. Legg is trying to reschedule the trip to Holland Hospital that was cancelled due to the snow days. As of right now, there is not a meeting scheduled for February but Mrs. Legg will send an update once we have a rescheduled date.
