PayPal Now Available
Many thanks to those
parents who made have made recent
donations to HISP (see
HISP Donors). With a strong first
quarter start and continued donations
into the second quarter, we are within
reach of our fundraising goal of
$20,000. Funds received beyond our
fundraising goal are allocated to the
HISP Fund for Excellence which provides
mini-grants to teachers and staff to
strengthen academic offerings or enhance
electives, the arts, and the humanities
at CKM. Last year in partnership with
the PTSA, the fund provided money for
science, math, photography, and world
language materials and equipment that
directly benefited students. For parents
wishing to make an online donation
(either one-time or recurring monthly),
HISP now offers a PayPal option (see
HISP Donors to access the donate
buttons). And finally, as the tax year
comes to an end, remember that your
donation to HISP is tax deductible. As
always, thank you for supporting HISP.
The
Sacramento Public Library offers a
“virtual” treasure trove of information
useful to high school students. The
library’s online
Knowledge Center Databases provides
access to digital information such as
newspapers and magazines, books and
media, and college and careers resource.
High school students will find the
section “For
Students (K-12)” most helpful; it
features information and primary
sources—such as academic journals,
biographies, and a virtual reference
library—they can use to complete
research projects. Use your library card
or
obtain a temporary online e-card you
can use for up to 14 days to access the
databases. Those with iPhones and iPads
may also download the
Mango Mobile Library app to gain
access to the databases from those
devices.
CKM is fortunate to
have a College & Career Center to help
prepare students for life after high
school and realize the dream of going to
college. Specific services/events
include: bringing college recruiters to
CKM to meeting with students/parents;
helping students complete college
applications; assisting students with
their college essays; and posting
scholarship bulletins to alert
students/parents to potential funding
for post-secondary education. In
addition, the Center works closely with
CKM’s Counseling Office to ensure
students are aware of college entrance
testing (ACT, PSAT, SAT) opportunities
on campus. Check the HISP Calendar to
view the list of upcoming College &
Career Center events.
