Welcome!

You've come to the right place for up to date information about internship, volunteer and job opportunities, as well as college application and scholarship deadlines, field trips, and events happening on campus. You'll also find posts on how to be as successful as possible when planning for your future!

At the bottom of this page you will find a google calendar with information about events, application deadlines, and program information. I find it easiest to navigate the calendar in "agenda" view, which you can switch it to by clicking the "agenda" tab in the upper right hand corner of the calendar.

In addition to the blog, we frequently send out emails with information that is then posted on the blog. Whether your a student, parents, or community member please feel free to join the list serve! You can do this by emailing me the message "add to list serve": macdanme@hsd401.org.

If you have any questions or need any support please stop into the LTI Office or College and Career Center, send an email, or call.

Calling Volunteers for Nature Consortium


Hi All - Michael T. is hoping some of you might be interested in volunteering with him at Nature Consortium. Please take a minute to read his email below. 

Thanks! Megan

Dear Advisors,

My name is Michael Thunstrom and I have noticed that there is barely anyone from our school, besides me, who volunteers or visits my internship site, the Nature Consortium.  The NC is always looking for new volunteers.  I think it would be great if other students would volunteer or try to intern there, especially those who do not have an internship. 

A good intern for this site would be someone:
- who is hard-working
-is willing to get their hands dirty
-who does not cuss a lot, is respectful

The internship involves working in the woods, using tools to remove invasive plants such as English Ivy and Himalayan Blackberry.  The competencies used heavily are communication, Social reasoning, and Empirical reasioning.

I would be happy to talk with any student who is interested, they can stop by Mr. Levine's room B7

Thank you for your time.

-Michael Thunstrom

Sincerely,

Michael Thunstrom
