Guest Speaker at Rayburn

The 9th grade class recently had the opportunity to hear from motivational speaker, Jeff Yalden. Mr. Yalden was well received by the students and had a great time presenting. Mr. Yalden runs youth leadership camps in the summer. If you are interested in attending, see Mrs. Carnes or visit http://www.extremeyouthleadership.org/

Do you want to go to SPACE SCHOOL??

Space Center Houston has agreed to reserve one week of their Space School for Pasadena ISD GEAR UP students. The camp will take place from July 13th-17th at Space Center Houston with a closing ceremony for families of particpants on the night of Friday the 17th. You must fill out an application to attend and only a few students will be chosen. See Mrs. Carnes for an application.

SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMER!!

GEAR UP is going to hold a variety of summer programs at San Jacinto College Central this year. We will also have 4 opportunities for your child to take a PSAT preparation course. We don't have any details for now, but I will post when plans are finalized.

ALSO, if you would like to attend an educational summer camp on your own GEAR UP can help you pay for it. If you are on F&R lunch, GEAR UP will pay 75% of the tuition, if you are on regular lunch payments, GEAR UP will pay 50% of the tuition.

See Mrs. Carnes for details!
