Ideas for ways to make Steller better? Grant Committee has money!

If you have ideas for ways to make Steller better, Grant Committee has money!
We are one month away from the first Grant Committee meeting. October 17th at 3:00 pm

You could be presenting the idea that changes or helps Steller Secondary for years to come. This fund was established to fund projects that make Steller a better place for the community and to directly benefit all who attend.
Your project, costing $500 or more, must be able to fit into the following categories:
1. Does the project make Steller a better place for most everyone?
2. Does the project increase the visibility of Steller within the larger community?
3. Does the project reflect our values of learning through experience?
4. Will the project directly benefit a large group of people, i.e. an entire class or the whole school?
The Grant Committee is a GREAT way to practice your competitive writing and presentation skills. We take the idea of handing out thousands of dollars seriously so come prepared! Students, parents and staff members alike are welcome to submit proposals no later than THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13th(Grant Committee Documents can be found and submitted to Haley in the office). If you have questions about this process please contact Karen Gillis (karenlgillis@me.com or 907-887-1148).

Alaska Science Fair

WEDNESDAY @ Noon: There will be a meeting to discuss an opportunity to participate in Alaskan research projects -or to invent your own- for the Alaska Science and Engineering Fair. Projects fit into 13 different categories and all projects include the chance to earn scholarships and other prizes, as well as a trip to L.A. to share the project with a national audience. Local participants have earned scholarships and jump-started their professional lives by participating, so come to the meeting on Wednesday! (Let Brian know if you would like lunch included)
