Educators From Across the Country Selected for 2024 Class of Global Learning Fellows The NEA Foundation is proud to announce the 2024 Global Learning Fellows. The new cohort will include 48 public school educators from 36 states. A year-long professional learning experience focused on educating and empowering students for global citizenship, the fellowship will enable fellows to enhance their knowledge and skills to bring global competency into their school communities and help students thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. The 2024 fellows represent the depth and breadth of the teaching profession in urban, rural, and suburban communities. They work at work at elementary, middle and high schools and teach across a wide array of subjects including visual and performing arts, English as a second language, social studies, special education, and science. More than a third of the fellows are teachers of color. The diversity of this cohort provides a tremendous opportunity for the group to learn from each other. Beginning this fall, The NEA Foundation staff, partners, and program alumni will support the fellows over the next year as they immerse themselves in online coursework, webinars, reading and reflection. The fellows will participate in a two-day professional development conference in October and a ten-day international field study to Costa Rica next summer. The field study brings the cohort together as they investigate the historical and cultural context of the country they visit and learn about its education system through meetings with policymakers, business and nonprofit leaders, as well as visits to schools to meet teachers, students, and administrators. The fellows will conclude their fellowship with a capstone project that enables their learning to be shared more broadly with educators beyond the program.

The Preliminary SAT, also known as the PSAT/NMSQT® (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test), is a practice version of the SAT exam. You can only take the PSAT once per year, and many students take the test in both 10th and 11th grade. If you earn a high score on the PSAT your junior year, you could qualify to receive a National Merit Scholarship—$180 million dollars in merit scholarships are awarded to students each year. The PSAT is 2 hours and 45 minutes long and tests your skills in reading, writing, and math.

PSAT Test Date: October 25, 2023

Cost: $18

Sign-up sheet will be in Student Services.

Three teachers are available to help students with homework on TUESDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, and THURSDAYS. Students should arrive by 3:30 PM but can leave whenever they complete their work if they have their own ride. Students who need a late bus pass are required to stay until 5:15 PM.

Snacks are provided. Any questions, contact Mrs. Buchholz at sandra.buchholz@k12.sd.us

Each legislative session, high school students from across South Dakota have an opportunity for a firsthand look at the legislative process by serving as pages for the South Dakota Legislature. Pages are appointed to serve in the House of Representatives or the Senate for four to nine days during one of the five term periods.

The page program is a competitive program, so early application is encouraged. The preferred deadline is October 6, 2023 and the final deadline is October 20, 2023.

Application is made through a sponsoring legislator or legislator-elect. Talk to a legislator or legislator-elect and ask for the privilege of them sponsoring you. Not sure who to approach as a sponsor? Any current legislator or legislator-elect can sponsor a page. Click on Find My Legislators to find the legislators in your district; however, a sponsoring legislator may be from any South Dakota district. Find My Legislators

The President Pro Tempore of the Senate selects the pages who will serve in the Senate. The Speaker of the House of Representatives selects the pages who will serve in the House. In early December, you will be notified by the Page Advisor regarding the disposition of your application.

Members of Leo clubs embody the best qualities of our incredible organization. They are devoted young people who realize the power of action. Together, Leos and Lions form a powerful partnership — one of mutual respect where Lions learn from the innovative insights of Leos and where Leos gain access to the proven strategies of those who’ve successfully served the world for decades. This is for those 12-18, as once you turn 18, you qualify for the Lions club. “Leadership, Experience, Opportunity.”

There are a lot of ways people can give back to their community — but being a Leo is much more than just service. Choosing Leo clubs will help you grow as an individual and as a leader as you join a global family of young people making the world a better place

Leos have many leadership opportunities, including the ability to serve as Leo officers in their club, district and multiple districts through annual elections. Lions International offers resources for Leos looking to grow their impact as a project organizer, motivator and leader of their peers.

In order for us to start a Leo's club, we need at least 5 individuals interested. The requirements are: Age 12-18; Parents Permission AND A Want To Help Your Community

This is a chance to serve your community. If you are looking for community service opportunities, this would be a great place to start. There are many opportunities offered by becoming a Leo, such as scholarships and camps.
