Happy New Year! Just a quick note to pass on a request for volunteers from Ms Caceres, ELA teacher at Shadow Mountain.
Ms Caceres is looking for volunteers for mock interviews on Friday, January 24th in the Media Center. The event will run during periods 1-4, from 7:15 to 11:40 AM, and will involve both junior and senior English classes.
Volunteers would simply ask students questions from a provided list, similar to those they might encounter in a real interview setting. Each interview will only last 2-3 minutes. Ms Caceres and the other participating teachers will be present to facilitate the event.
If you are interested and able to help out, please contact Ms Caceres at: [email protected]
