SHOUT OUTS
Aspen Challenge Presentation
On Wednesday April 24th, Hoover's Aspen Challenge team hosted their final practice presentation, before the big day on on Wednesday May 1st. Hoover's Aspen team presented to a theater full of their peers, seeking valuable feedback on their proposed solution: M.I.N.D. (Mental Illness Notice and Disrupt); Shaping a brighter future: a digital beacon for youth mental health. You can access some of their mental health resources here! They offer guided meditation, journaling prompts, mental health resources, and more!
Guitar Club Rocked
at the Hoover Talent Show!
Students and staff from Guitar Club came together on Saturday at the IMIN Talent Show and played Three Little Birds by Bob Marley on the guitar. Despite only just learning to play, Guitar Club crushed their performance. Additionally, each student was given a guitar of their choice, either acoustic or electric, to keep and continue playing outside of the Guitar Club. So proud of everyone involved and excited to continue rocking out on Tuesdays.

*CSAC is working towards a solution to allow renewal students (students who have completed a FAFSA or CADAA in previous years) to submit a CADAA if they are facing similar challenges with the FAFSA. Once the CADAA is made available to renewal students, CSAC will follow up with students immediately through email or a phone call.

Students intending to go to a four-year university have until May 2, 2024, to complete the CADAA in order to meet the state priority deadline for state financial aid programs, such as the Cal Grant and Middle Class Scholarship.
