Caruthers/Riverdale

Hi everyone, Ricardo here, just wanted to give you an update on all the stuff that has been going on at our high schools this semester.
First and foremost, we're excited to say that our attendance has stayed steady despite the break and that we are still gaining new faces on most meetings! Thanks to the students for spreading the word about our program.

So, we have three very big goals for this semester (on top of what was already planned since last year):
First, we hope to bring a college admissions counselor from Fresno Pacific University visit the students. Even though most of them are not seniors this year, they can all benefit from asking the right questions to the counselor. We are therefore working on what are questions we could ask so that everyone may be better informed about college admissions in General.
Secondly, we hope to have students from both high schools attend a day long trip to Fresno Pacific itself. We have many exciting activities planned for that trip and we are now working on making that happen!
Finally, we are working on a major field trip for the students by the end of the semester. What's the educational goal you ask? They will have to complete a certain amount of community service hours and help/plan/organize ways in which we can fundraise the trip! Where to? That's a surprise, but we will definitely keep you posted.

Anyhow, I'm glad to see everyone has been doing so great this semester, we will also post pictures pretty soon.
