PROCEDURE: Shirley and I met with and coordinated with various teachers, administrators, and support staff in the middle and high school. Shirley researched and came up with college and career facts for the bulletin. I met with teachers and asked them to wear college t-shirts, decorate doors, and share personal stories. Edie spearheaded the college t-shirt locker decorating contest. Summer Johnson and Diane Bennett gave writing prompts in their respective middle and high school English classes, assigned college reports and decorated bulletin board. Greg Nelson assigned college posters and videos in Career Choices. I worked with seniors on college application activities at least once per week during October and November and conducted a college planning and application night with parents in October. In short, this involved much communication and collaboration with the entire staff.
