HELP !!!
STILL LOOKING
FOR LEGOs!!!
Our new south Novato Library just opened their Makerspace.
|
Our NHS Library is moving into the next phase of its recreation into a 21st century library and we are creating a Makerspace.
A Makerspace is defined as a community / educationally operated workspace where students can collaborate on ideas to design, prototype and manufacture items.
What can you do to help?
If you have Legos (of any size) that you or your kids are no longer using - we would love to have them. Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Corey are gathering a group of students to brainstorm the space and create a list of additional items they would like to have.
If you have Legos to donate -
please bring them to Mr. Baldwin's office. If you would like me to come pick them up - I would be happy to do that as well.

PRESENTATION SIGN UP DEADLINE: APRIL 8, 2016 - Please see Mary Grillo to sign up for your presentation.
* NHS SCHOLARSHIP AWARD PROCESS
Scholarships applications are judged blind. When students turn in their application to the College and Career Center, the applicant's name is taken off and a number assigned before the applications are turned over to the committee for review in order to maintain anonymity.
Committee members will review each application and score it. Those scores are turned in before the live presentations. Each presentation will also be scored. After the presentations, those scores are turned in and combined with the written application scores by an impartial person outside of the scholarship committee.
Scholarships are not based on academic excellence, but on the combination of experiences the student has had in and out of school, the completeness and thoughtfulness of the application, and the preparation and ideas shared during the presentation. The number of scholarships awarded may change from year to year based on the number of applicants and the budget. Not every student who applies is awarded a scholarship.
