The New Berlin FFA had a very busy day September 24! We started it off with a chapter visit where we drew what agriculture ment to us, built farms, then solved problems that came along the way, and brainstormed some personal goals for ourselves. After the chapter visit, our officer team headed off to Franklin for leadership training school. We listened to a key note speaker and played engaging games that taught us some very important leadership skills.If you are interested in buying and supporting our chapter please let a FFA member know!

Public Illinois colleges have partnered with the Common App and ISAC for a new process called "One Click College Admissions." The process is different for Seniors than for Juniors. The PDF documents below with links and screenshots should help assist with the process.

Students - when setting up a Common App account, please use a personal (non- New Berlin school) email that you have access to.

If you have further questions, please reach out and Dr. Viola will be discussing this further throughout the school year as well.

IC College Rep Visit - September 24th during Advisory

Amanda Winter from St. John’s College of Nursing in Springfield, IL reached out to Dr. Viola last week to provide important information about the NP3 Program:

In the past, we have held the NP3 program. We are revamping the program to be more inclusive and hands on. This year, we are hosting 6 Wednesday night sessions spread throughout the academic school year. The Teen Health Care Exploration Program sessions will be from 4:30-7:30pm and cover a variety of topics. Not only will high school students be interacting with nursing students and other healthcare professionals, but we will have some interprofessional partners. We invite your juniors and seniors to sign up to attend this year! If students attend 3 or more sessions out of 6, they are eligible for a tuition benefit to St. John’s College of Nursing. I will attach the brochure, tentative schedule, and the online form where students can sign up! The online form gives a brief description of the session as well.

Notice that there is an open house date on Wednesday, September 25th from 3-5pm. This is for students, parents, counselors, or even science teachers who would like to learn more about the program or the simulation center. We have hosted field trips in the past for science classes and would love to have you!

Scholarship opportunities will be posted here as we are made aware of them.

With approximately 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in the United States plus scores of

government agencies, finding help can be confusing and intimidating. People who need help

often do not know where to begin.

211 call centers are staffed by trained specialists who quickly assess the callers’ needs and

refer them to the help they seek. It’s simple to remember, accessible to everyone, toll-free,

available 24/7, with multilingual capabilities.

211 in Sangamon and Menard County is funded by United Way of Central Illinois. By bringing

this service to the community, especially at a time when more individuals and families need

health and human service support, United Way is fulfilling its mission of mobilizing resources to

meet community needs.
