"The day that you declare where you are going to college, this day should be as glamorous as those athletic signing days. This day should be on TV with fireworks, and celebrities and folks just sitting around just dying to know where you are going to college." -Michelle Obama, First Lady of the United States of America
College Signing Day is April 26, 2016. May 2 is the deadline for students across the nation to send their commitment to the college or university that they will attend the following academic year. This year the First Lady will be hosting a signing day rally on April 26 to kick off the nationwide celebrations. A lot of media attention goes to promising athletes when they select the college of their choice. We want every student to receive as much attention and have that same feeling of importance so that they too can feel special about this big day.

Below, you will see the how to participate. THIS WILL BE A GRADE FOR AVID IV STUDENTS. If you are not college bound in the fall, the alternate assignment is also below.

College Bound Photo Assignment: Option 1: Take a picture of yourself in your college attire (shirt, hat, etc.), holding a pennant, or holding a sign with your college choice (WHERE YOU ARE GOING, not where you were accepted). Email the photo to Mrs. Dean. Option 2: Bring/Wear your attire or pennant to class on Friday, April 15 or to the picnic on April 22 and we will take the pic in class. Picture can include multiple graduating, college bound Seniors. Think creative when choosing a background: the pond, our school sign, etc. Photo Assignment is due by end of class/picnic on April 22, so if you aren't taking in class. I need it emailed BEFORE class on Friday, April 22.
If you are not college bound this fall, complete this assignment: Option 1: Take a picture of your plans for Fall 2016. This might be a picture similar to the 4 year college bound that says: Nash Community College or some other trade school. It might be a picture with you holding a sign that says workforce and what type of job you are hoping to get. It might be a picture of you holding a sign that says "Applying to a 4 year college for January 2017" It would be neat if you could wear the attire, find a background or design, etc. Option 2: We can take your picture in class on Friday, April 15 or at the picnic on April 22 as well. Bring your attire/props for your pic. Picture MUST be turned in before the end of class/picnic on April 22.
