IB Summer Education Opportunities
Oxford Study Courses run a program for IB Preparation, Revision, and Review. The IB Examiners who visited the last week in February said that the courses are extremely beneficial. They are costly, but we were told that the organizer of the program will not allow money to come in the way of having a student benefit from the course....
Go to: Oxford Study Courses for information on Pre-IB and Mid-IB summer schools and courses. They are held in the USA and in Oxford, England.
Also, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology runs a Talented Youth Summer Program from July 13-August 3, 2008 in Hong Kong. They advertise "Accelerated Societal Development through Science and Technology." Go to: Talented Youth Summer Program
for more information.
City Honors does not endorse or vouch for any of these programs. We simply want to let you know about these opportunities.

Volunteer Opportunity at JCC
The JCC is having their 4th Winter Carnival on Sunday, January 27th, from 12 noon to 4:00 p.m.
This event draws a crowd of approximately 300 people, most of them young families. Volunteers are needed to help run the games, do face painting, help with cookie decorating and the like.
The Winter Carnival is held here at the JCC’s Holland Family Building, 787 Delaware Avenue at the corner of Summer Street.
Volunteers do not need to help the entire time if they have other commitments on that day. The JCC can use some help with last minute set-up and after the event clean-up as well, so any number of hours between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. would be much appreciated.
Any interested students should contact Barbara Stone Reden, Director of Early Childhood Services, in advance at 886-3172 X408.

FYI for Extended Essays
Seniors: The following is a repeat of what I have told you in class. Two clean copies need to be turned in to me (not your advisor) by the end of the day on Friday, December 21. You should indicate your advisor with a sticky note or by writing it in light pencil on the paper. The two papers should be paper clipped together.
The following is an email I sent out to all advisors:
--------
Good afternoon,
Students will be turning their Extended Essays in to me by the end of the day on Friday, December 21, 2007. They will be turning in two clean copies.
After the break, you will be receiving the grading criteria and papers from me so you can provide your predicted grade and comments for the paper(s) you supervised.
Students should NOT be bringing you another copy of their paper. Your job up until now was to review the paper once and give meaningful comments to the students. If they turned in a lousy paper the first time, it's not your job to re-read it. You can choose to read it again, but it is your choice.
Thanks again for all of your support and assistance regarding the Extended Essays.
