Goshen High School will host the Elkhart County Career & Job Fair after school TOMORROW from 4:30-6:30 p.m. in Whiteman Gym and it is open to the public. Local employers from a variety of fields will be in attendance with information on current and future job opportunities. Don’t miss your chance to apply for positions for summer work or for employment after graduation.
Merit on the Move is a chance for students to earn a credit through Apex for a variety of reasons including re-taking a class to get a better grade, having failed the class previously, or even trying to get a credit or two ahead of schedule. It is open to any sophomore, junior, or senior; however, priority will be given to upper classmen. There is a maximum of 40 students per session, so seating is limited. Merit on the Move takes place on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:45-5:45 p.m. in the new Apex lab (room 6240 and 6250 – the old weight room). Classes start TOMORROW and run through May 23rd. We will not be meeting over spring break. Attendance is taken. Students with poor attendance will not earn credits. If you would like to sign up please contact your guidance counselor ASAP.
On Sunday, February 24th financial aid professionals will be at Goshen College to help students and their families file the FAFSA. This free event starts at 2:00 p.m. in the Union Building. For more info about the event and a list of what to bring please visit www.CollegeGoalSunday.org.

YOU MUST BE STAYING AFTER SCHOOL FOR SOMETHING TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS – The GHS cafeteria is offering free after school snacks every day after school. This program is for any student who is staying after school. All student-athletes, club members, music participants, drama participants, after school homework help kids, etc. are strongly encouraged to stop by the cafeteria after school and take advantage of this generous opportunity. Students just need to show their ID and they can grab a healthy snack to go that will hold them over during their after school activities until dinner. The cafeteria will stay open until 3:50 p.m. to hand out the snacks. All students picking up the healthy snack after school will need to eat their snack in the cafeteria. We appreciate your cooperation with this adjustment that is mandated by the state of Indiana in order to continue this program.
