Summer Aid Case Study

In arguing in favor of the importance of distributing desert (merit) based financial aid at a small liberal arts school such as Green Mountain College, several arguments present themselves: one, desert based aid insures that incoming students meet a standard that facilitates strong academics, which in turn improves the school 's reputation and contributes to its long term viability; two, it incentivises students to work hard academically, benefiting fellow students and faculty who appreciate active classroom involvement and discussion; and three, students with good grades have likely worked hard for them and deserve just compensation for their work.

Sherwood Middle School’s students as well as parents were shocked at the news that Sherwood Middle School was hiring a new vice principal in place of Kevin McIntosh. The new vice principal’s name is Marc Jolley. The reason Mr.Jolley is here is because recently, Mr.McIntosh had made the choice to leave the Sherwood school district. While many students are untroubled and rather pleased with the new change, others are wondering if it was the right decision to hire Mr.Jolley.

Greetings! As a rising 8th grade student at Sun Valley Middle School in Indian Trail, I would like to describe the problems I have continued to view within the school system and provide ideas on how to fix them. First, I feel the curriculum should be altered.One could observe that a rife of the knowledge we learn in school will either be forgotten entirely later in our lives, must be relearned as a result of how long ago it was taught, or most commonly, the knowledge rattles around in our heads and lacks use.Take for example, the formula for calculating electric current. The vast majority people will not find themselves needing to calculate the wattage of an electrical appliance unless they are an engineer or electrician. Even if you were to have a job in either of those positions, you certainly would not be

Waynesboro Middle School has a site-based management system. Site-based budgeting is widely considered the most practical for budgeting within the school district environment, by providing greater control and reporting of school-level data. Site-based budgeting generally involves granting increased budgetary authority to the school. Resources are allocated to the site, with budget authority for programs and services granted to the school's principal and staff. Campuses are normally allocated a certain level of resources that they have the authority to allocate to educational and support services. The main advantage of site-based budgeting is that those who best understand the needs of a particular organization are empowered to make resource allocation decisions. This decentralization of budgetary authority may also increase local accountability. Another potential advantage of site-based budgeting is the increased level of participation of

Paula signed up for summer school classes for two reasons; first, she would have something to do, and add to her credits. Secondly, if Miguel was able to transfer to day school they could take a course together or at least have the right place to meet.

Participating in the Summer Enrichment Program will prepare for me becoming a more proactive member of my community as I will acquire the skills and knowledge needed to initiate the change in the healthcare domain. Based on my experience and observations, I think one of the reasons for poor health and diverse health-related problems that affect an American nation is the lack of reliable information and insufficient emphasis on essentials of healthy lifestyles. For example, for at least a decade, the American people have been struggling to deal with the issue of obesity that affects the lives of millions of adults and children alike. Despite all the attention paid to this issue and national initiatives to prevent obesity, the success has been

*** The key point here would be retention practices increasing successful baccalaureate attainment. As much as Fin Aid can assist a students, it is other items such as personal, academic, learning styles, housing, transportation, hunger and the list goes on that prevents young adults from earning college degrees.

Our first step in completing the Spring Break Project was choosing a car, and since the four of us will be traveling a long distance, we decided that a luxury car would be the best option. Once we decided, we found the cost for renting a luxury car for each of the companies and created functions to represent the total cost. Those functions are as follows: y = 0.18x + 308 for Hertz, y = 0.13x + 426 for Enterprise, y = 0.15x + 364 for Dollar, and y = 0.20x +326 for Avis. We created these formulas by using the cost per mile as the slope, or the number multiplied by x, and used the initial cost as the y-intercept, which is the number added. When the formulas had been created, we went on to making our graphs and tables up to 3,000 miles. We used the tables to analyze our data, and found that Hertz offers the best initial offer up to 2,000 miles. After 2,000 miles, Dollar becomes the best option, and at 3,250 we found that Enterprise becomes the best offer. We used our graph to double check this information, and found that after 3,250 miles, Enterprise is the best option indefinitely.

Marcy continues the conversation by mentioning that Martha has to identify the individuals that will be present in the flowchart meeting.

I am interested in Rose Youth Foundation because I would really like to become more active in the local community. For me, RYF is a tremendous opportunity to have more influence in solving relevant issues, and grow as a person. Also, I am just in love with the logistics of the program, in that the foundation reaches out to so many organizations and offers a real shot at change while still offering so much creative liberty to the board members. From RYF I would gain the experience of working closely with other Jewish teens to prioritize issues and effectively take the steps to solve them. Additionally I hope to develop a meaningful relationship with Judaism and find ways to apply Jewish values in ways that matter and make a difference.I am a

Becoming a summer camp counselor was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was a camper for 10 years and the transition to counselor felt like a natural step forward. Even though I loved my job and the campers I spent my time with, it was far from easy. I was responsible for 10 to 30 children, 24 hours a day, and planned many of the activities the campers participated in. I was placed in this leadership position, but without the other 40 staff members, I would not have had a successful summer. Our team communicated well, relied on each other for support, and talked through any issues that arose.
