Juniors are getting ready for April’s SAT and M-STEP exams (see page 4 for schedule and the test tip reminders on pages 10 and 18). Sophomores are balancing school and fitting in driving lessons. And, freshmen, like all Red Hawks, are working hard on their academics so that their parents will hear great reports at the March 10th Spring Conferences. We hope to see you there. Please help, with the onset of warmer weather, to keep students focused on academics. Students are encouraged prioritize their studies, take advantage of our free after-school tutoring Monday—Thursday 2:15-3:15 p.m. in room 1208 N—and let us know if there is anything we can do to better support them. It truly has been a great year, let’s keep it going. Wishing you a wonderful spring,

And you would be earning some extra money while your students are in school! Come join our Student Nutrition Team by calling 248-823-5089, or email me at [email protected], or come into the office at the Service Center, 4420 Livernois, Troy 48098 for an application. I look forward to hear-ing from you!

News from the Career RoomNetworking is a skill that, like any other needs to be developed. In today’s competitive job market having a solid network of friends, neighbors, parents and your parents friends helping you look for either a part time after school job, that summer job your parents tell you to get, or after graduation, finding that “first” professional job has never been harder. I have taken excerpts from the below article to gear it towards high school students.

NETWORKING- Kelly EggersThe Wall Street Journal Digital Network

Have a Solid Introduction

As most know, first impressions count heavily. Make sure your attire, atti-tude and overall appearance are the best possible before introducing your-self to someone.

Spend More Time Listening Than Talking

In this case, the old adage is true: People were given two ears and one mouth, and you should use them proportionately. "Just like in the dating world, you should spend more time listening to and understanding the per-son in front of you than talking about yourself," says Mark Jeffries, a busi-ness communications consultant and author of What's Up With Your Hand-shake?. "Once you have truly understood what drives this person, then you can introduce yourself and tell your own stories in a way that best fits their specific needs."

Avoid Being Socially Inept

You should maintain some normal social constructs, such as where you direct your eyes and how closely you stand to people. Looking from some-one's eyes to the middle of their forehead is professional, versus a more social gaze of eyes-to-mouth, says Goman. You should also try to keep an arm's length away from anyone you're talking to, says Misner.

Follow Up and Through

Perhaps the "Cardinal Rule" of networking is that once you've planted the seeds of a new relationship, you must follow up to maintain it. Whether it's a business referral, job lead, or a professional connection, get in touch – within 24 hours – to say you enjoyed meeting them.

"No one owes you anything, so you need to be as ingratiating as you can," says Glickman. People who have taken the time to speak with you and pro-vide you with connections or guidance deserve a thank you. "Assume that you can learn from everyone. They might not be the right person, but they might know someone who you might want to be in touch with."

It's also critical to reach out to anyone a connection refers you to. "People hate it when they give someone a referral and the person never bothers to follow up on it," says Misner. If you don't, it makes two parties look bad, he says – you, since you didn't follow through on a potential lead, and the per-son who referred you, since they recommended you as a reliable resource. Always be sure to thank your network and keep in touch!

AND…Practice, practice, practice!!

High school students from as far as Traverse City, Flint, and Detroit trav-eled to MSU on Saturday, February 6, 2016 to spend the afternoon tack-ling neuroscience test questions at the sixth annual Brain Bee at MSU. The Brain Bee is a competition that tests students on their neuroscience knowledge with a multiple choice written exam and two oral Q&A rounds. Topics included intelligence, memory, emotions, sensations, movement, stress, neuronal signal-ing, sleep, and numerous neurologi-cal diseases.

The first place winner of the Brain Bee at MSU, Varun Sathyan, a ju-nior from Athens High School in Troy will travel to compete in the National Brain Bee March 18-20 in Baltimore, MD. He also received a copy of The Mind’s Machine, an undergraduate neuroscience textbook authored by MSU’s Barnett Rosenberg Profes-sor of Neuroscience Marc Breed-love, and a fellowship to MSU if he declares a Neuroscience major.

Congratulations, Varun!

HONORS AND COMMENCEMENT ATTIRECommencement is a very impor-tant, dignified ceremony. To insure the dignity of the occasion for every-one, any student who is improperly dressed or who is under the influ-ence of alcohol or any illegal sub-stance will be removed from the lineup prior to the ceremony.

Everyone is encouraged to dress for the occasion for both the Hon-ors Convocation and Commence-ment. Athens students have be-come known for the pride they show in themselves and their school.

3. Students must be enrolled in both the school district and postsecondary institution dur-ing the local school district’s regular academic year and must be enrolled in at least one high school class.

COACH'S CORNER

2016 Meeting Dates

First Monday of the month

Held in the TACC @ 7 pm

• March 7• April 11• May 2

Find us online: http://athensathleticboosters.com

Spring Update for MembersIn this issue, we spoke with the boys’ varsity lacrosse coach Justin Suarez.March is a key month for our mem-

bers. It’s time to take care of those last details to qualify your student athlete for scholarships and grants. Have you accumulated eight points by volunteering at the concession stand? If not, this is the month to step behind the counter and it couldn’t come at a better time. While many members realize the conces-sion stand needs people during the fall, typically the spring season finds us scrambling to cover all the shifts.

In addtion to eight volunteer hours, parents must attend a meeting in the first and second semester. The meeting on March 7 is the last one before applicatons are due. March 31 is the last day to acculumulate points. Applications are due April 1, 2016.

It Takes a Team! Get involved. Sign-up at: http://athensathleticboosters.org/sign-up

The boosters’ goal is to support athletics at Athens, so every year, money is allocated for each sporting activity. In addition, there are funds set aside to support enhancements to the athletic program. A coach only needs to download a request form from the boosters’ site, complete it and submit it to Mr. Dowd. The web site also lists the guidelines for approved expendi-tures. The budget planning begins in August and that is the best month to request additional funds. Fortunately, more coaches are stepping forward to request funds, don’t be left out, put in your request now!

What are you looking forward to this season?

The boys have put in a lot of practice since last season, and I’m looking for-ward to continue working with them. I love the first day of spring practice, always bursting at the seams with en-thusiasm and optimism!

>Are there key players that we should watch for?

Junior attackman and two time all-state selection, Jake Lining should be in line for another great season. De-fensemen Nick Hayden, Mitchell Gor-ski, and midfielder Elliot Gorski will be back for their third year on varsity. De-fenseman A.J. Shaw and goalie Max Cavallier will be back building on last year’s great season.

>What is your feeling about the com-petition?

Our league, the OAA, is always tough, with perennial top 20 teams Birming-ham, Clarkston, Troy, and Bloomfield. Haslett-Williamston, DeLaSalle, and Northville are all very good programs as well.

>Do lacrosse skills transfer well into well into other sports?

Most of our team plays more than one sport. Lacrosse skills align well with football, soccer, basketball, and hockey – all use teamwork, field/ice awareness, understand angles and le-verage, and develop fine motor skills.
