Hello!

This is Gina, the Girls Cross Country coach. Some of my multi-sport athletes and I have designed shirts in honor of National Girls and Women in Sports Day on February 7.

Purpose:
To acknowledge progress, celebrate the athletic accomplishments of girls and women, and advocate for equal opportunities in sports. This fundraiser will help support the SGCC team.

The “Everyone Watches Shorewood” shirt is available here:
https://shorewoodsports0126.itemorder.com/shop/home/

Please share this link with your Shorewood athletes and families. Ordering options include:

• Front-only shirt

• Crew sweatshirt

• “Fan of” designs

• Multiple sports listed on the back for our many multi-sport athletes

Friends and supporters are also welcome to order shirts with athletes’ names on the back.

Let’s support our girls and represent all the amazing accomplishments from this year!

The Shorewood AFS Adult Chapter is hosting a community Zoom session on studying abroad.

This session is designed to help families better understand how AFS programs work, what study abroad looks like for high school students, and how global learning aligns with the values of service and intercultural understanding we honor on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

AFS Study Abroad Info Session (via Zoom)

• Monday, January 19
• 5:00–6:00 PM (Central)
• Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/HKl4LzMvSlKDC-vxvaKM_g

Thank you for helping us get this opportunity in front of families who may not yet know what study abroad through AFS can make possible.

• Summer Abroad (Global Navigator): 3-4 week programs focusing on specific topics like:
  • Language: Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian, Mandarin, Korean, Arabic.

The counselors have begun Academic and Career Planning (ACP) conferences with junior students and their families. These conferences provide an opportunity to discuss post-secondary plans and answer questions about next steps after high school, including college options, admissions criteria, testing, essays, timelines, Naviance, and other helpful resources.

ACP conferences are 60-minute, in-person meetings with the student, family, and school counselor. Conferences are scheduled during the school day using SignUpGenius, so please coordinate with your student to find a time that works.
