The 2013 HISP seniors are set to begin
the next phase of their lives as they
transition to post-secondary education.
Traditionally, HISP seniors receive
acceptances from schools throughout the
region, state, and nation and this
year’s graduating class is no exception.
See the
2013 HISP College Report
Thank you to the HISP families that have
recently contributed to our efforts to
close the budget gap for this year. We
received $1,200 as a result of our
appeal last week. We are $3,800 from our
target to cover all of this year's
expenses, so we are still gladly
accepting donations. (Look for a basket
upstairs at Open House!).
We are also, sniff, sniff, achoo,
accepting donations of Kleenex at this
time, as allergies are running amok and
kids are sneezing and blowing. Tissue
can be delivered to the HISP office or
the front desk marked HISP anytime.
Thank you on behalf of all or our
allergy sufferers. Many of you know who
they are because you live with them.
Free seminars will be led by Gary Hart,
former California Secretary of Education
and former State Senator, who has a
Master of Arts degree in teaching from
Harvard University. Please see the
flyer for more details.
CCI
Seeking Host Families
Check out your newest
page on the HISP website—Study
Abroad—which provides information on
cultural exchange programs for high
school students. Over the years, several
HISP students have participated in study
abroad and countless HISP families have
hosted students from other countries.
One of the programs, CCI (Center for
Cultural Interchange), is seeking
qualified families to host students
(ages 15-18 years old) from Germany,
Belgium, Taiwan, Vietnam, Hungary,
Poland, Colombia, Brazil, and China
among many others. Interested HISP
families should contact CCI's Sacramento
Area Rep,
Lindsay Zimmerman.

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
$25,000. 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.
