Hello 4th Grade Parents,

    Just a quick note to let you know that on May 11th, your student will be participating in Planning Your Future Day (PYFD). This is a really special opportunity for your student to engage with successful South Lewis Alumni, High School Seniors, High School Guidance Counselors and college students. We have some great speakers lined up from the aforementioned groups to inspire your students to take a look into the next 10-15 years and begin the dreaming/planning process.

    PYFD offers a great deal of information to students about the many options they may have to choose from during high school (extra-curricular activities, sports, clubs), the academic effort that is essential to high school success, and how determination and hard work can lead to placement in college, the military, or the work force after high school. College Students come in to help our students explore post- secondary choices and also reinforce the salience of working hard and giving 100% every day in school. To drive that point home, we invite a successful South Lewis graduate back to share his/her story of hard work and success. 

    Hopefully your student comes home with many ideas to share and seems excited to begin planning for his/her future.  I hope that PYFD is just a jumping off point to facilitating future family dinner table discussions about what your son or daughter's future could hold!
