Hi All,
The Homework Help program at Teen Underground of the Loussac Library is an opportunity for students age 12-18 to get one-on-one attention from university students and professionals. We have a high tech space with the support of Macbooks that makes Teen Underground ideal for studying. Please let students know about this free and supportive program! Every Monday and Thursday, 3:30-5:30pm.
Thanks!

The following information was left out of the newsletter…
The Paralympics Sports Program has Power Soccer from March 18-April 18. This program is open to middle school and high school students- see www.challengealaska.org for more info, or contact Jeff Dick at 344-7270 to register.
Senator Murkowski is now accepting applications from high school seniors for her summer high school internship program. All Alaskan high school seniors may apply for the opportunity to spend four weeks working and learning in Senator Murkowski’s Washington, D.C. office. The Senator will select a total of twenty students from all areas of Alaska to participate in two, month-long sessions—ten students for each session. Housing and transportation will be coordinated by the Senator’s office, but interns will be responsible for the cost. A small stipend will be paid. Interns gain insight into the workings of a Senate office and how the legislative process works by assisting Senator Murkowski and her staff in legislative and constituent duties, including day-to-day clerical and administrative tasks such as directing mail, speaking with constituents, running errands, and assisting staff with research projects. Each intern also has the opportunity to shadow the Senator for an entire day (after which they are usually exhausted!) and to attend briefings on a variety of issues. They will also have the opportunity enjoy the many educational and cultural activities that are available in the Washington, D.C. area.
Additional information, as well as an online application, is available here:
http://www.murkowski.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=Internships (on http://murkowski.senate.gov) under the Students tab at the top.
The deadline by which all applications must be submitted is Thursday, March 14, 2013.
The Flash updates are finally back online. Thanks for being patient, and have a good week!
