Semester Showcase was a hit

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Semester Showcase on Friday night.

This was our first time hosting this event and it is clearly not going to be the last.

Great food, great music (thanks students!), great teachers and great families. It was a special night and a good reminder of how great this community truly is.

Was that too many greats? Probably, but forget it, I'm rolling.

Anyway, thanks to Emy Arbogast for capturing some of the scenes from the night.

MOTUS Inspire Series Part 2 this week

The second part of our MOTUS Inspire series will take place on Thursday, Feb. 2.

An exciting day is planned for all secondary students as they investigate and learn more about their future career callings.

What will be happening that day?

6th and 7th graders

A deeper dive into careers that they looked at in the first Inspire event, including research and conversations about required post-high school schooling requirements as well as what they may need to accomplish during the next few years of secondary school.
Setting goals and gaining knowledge about careers as their main focus.
They will be on campus during the regularly scheduled MOTUS group time.

8th-10th graders

Will be off campus all day.
Will visit one of three tracks - four-year universities (Pacific Lutheran and University of Puget Sound), two-year colleges (Tacoma Community College and Green River CC) or career and technical schools (Clover Park and Bates).
Students will be placed in one of the three tracks based on the career inventory results from the first Inspire event.
All students need to bring a sack lunch. There will be no opportunity to purchase food.
Chaperones are needed, potentially including drivers. Please contact College and Career Counseling and Registrar Amy Reinmuth for more information.
Permission slips must be signed and returned to the office. If you don't want your student to go, there will be no on campus alternative for them that day.
Students will be doing a lot of walking, so please send them prepared for weather and with good walking shoes.

11th and 12th graders

Will do a deep dive into finalizing (or starting) their college/and or post high school choices
Researching and applying for scholarships
Answering the 'what do I do now?' questions for those going into a trade
How to make big decisions for their post high school career plans
This will take place on campus during the regularly scheduled MOTUS group time
