Attention Seniors: Read the message from Mrs. Hernandez. You can also visit the GO Center page.
Seniors,
Local Scholarship Applications will be available soon! I will be meeting with all seniors to go over our Local Scholarship process in November. In the meantime, see below for a list of documents you can get ready.
--- one page essay about yourself, your family, your future goals, and financial status
--- at least 2 letters of recommendation from a teacher or counselor (ask them now)
--- a resume (I have samples in the Go Center for you to refer to)
Keep in mind all scholarship applications will ask where you have applied to college and what your status is (accepted, pending, etc.). Scholarship Applications will also ask if you have taken any college readiness exams (SAT, ACT, TSI). If you have not applied or taken any exams, it’s not too late!
You can email me or stop by the Go Center anytime with questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Nina Hernandez

🍂 October Mental Health Corner 🍂
🧠 Mental Health Tips of the Month
Take care of your body: get enough sleep, eat balanced meals, and stay active.
Notice your self-talk—be as kind to yourself as you would to a friend.
Use relaxation tools: deep breathing, mindfulness, or listening to calming music.
Stay connected—make time for friends and family who lift you up.
📋 October Checklist for a Healthier You
✔ Organize your study space to reduce distractions.
✔ Participate in a fall activity (football game, pumpkin patch, Halloween fun).
✔ Set one small, achievable goal for the month and celebrate progress.
✔ Practice saying “no” to something that drains your energy.
✔ Do one act of kindness for someone else.
💬 Quote of the Month
"Mental health…is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going." – Noam Shpancer
💙 Remember, you don’t have to do everything alone. Stop by to see your school counselor—they are here for you.
Warmly, Mrs. Mesler
