Endeavor Updates

Focusing Our Commitment to Unlimited Success
Mrs. Salinas amplifies hope, goals, and student success by encouraging students to keep pushing forward—even when the path feels challenging. She believes in their potential and works hard to make sure they believe in it too. Through personalized planning, she helps students set class completion goals, recover credits more efficiently, and create individual pathways that account for their personal, academic, and outside challenges. Every plan she builds is rooted in one goal: helping students move forward with confidence and achieve success.

Native Fruit Trees For Your Backyard!
On February 7th, from 9 AM - 12 PM we are giving away native fruit trees here at Endeavor!
Planting a native fruit tree in your backyard is a great way to help clean the air and support local wildlife. Plus, after a few years of caring for your tree, you will also get a harvest of fruit for your family and friends!
This free tree donation event is part of a 5-year forestry project happening across the Houston area. It is focused on supporting communities, planting trees, and creating environmental job opportunities. This project is a big team effort between many organizations to create a greener, healthier Houston.
Native fruit trees are especially valuable to plant because they are built for Texas. They clean the air by removing pollution, creating more oxygen for us to breathe, and providing a food source. Also, they only need a little maintenance because they are used to Texas heat and rain patterns.
So, if you want to make a difference, and take home a free native fruit tree, come by Endeavor on February 7th to take part in this special community event!
For tips on how to plant your tree, look at this guide from Texas A&M Forest Service: https://tfsweb.tamu.edu/trees/tree-care/planting/
DID YOU KNOW:
A single mature tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of carbon dioxide every year!
Some fruit trees can live and produce fruit for over 30 years when cared for properly.
Tree roots help reduce flooding and erosion, keeping our soil and water cleaner.

New Scholarship Resources for High School Students
Access Scholarships is a free scholarship and college resource platform for student. Their goal is to connect high school students with scholarship opportunities and other financial aid resources to to help them navigate the (often complicated) world of higher education.
In addition to the scholarship search and directory (with over 10,000 scholarships in their database-they add to everyday), they have several resources specifically geared towards high school students.
All of the links below are great resources and opportunities for you!
ACT/SAT Info
What is the ACT/SAT test?
Both the SAT and the ACT are nationally administered, standardized tests that help schools evaluate your application and see how prepared you are for college courses. The SAT and ACT generally cover the same topics. Both ACT and SAT scores are used for college admissions decisions and awarding merit-based scholarships. Most colleges do not prefer one test over the other. Neither the SAT nor ACT is harder than the other. Different students tend to do better on one test than the other.
Ask Mrs. Jackson or Mrs. Salinas for more information.
