More Scholarship Opportunities:
2019 Engineer Girl Writing Contest
To enter the contest: Write an original, fictional story in which the main character is a female who uses engineering skills to solve a problem. There are three basic rules: Your main character must be female. Your main character must use engineering design principles to solve a problem - she cannot use or rely on magic or supernatural powers. Your story must be under the word limit for your grade level, which is listed below. High School (grades 9-12): 1500 words. All stories must be original work. Any evidence of plagiarism will immediately disqualify an entry. Remember: Writers spend time doing research to ensure that story characters — their clothes, their tools, and especially their actions — are authentic. Take time to learn about engineers and engineering. The better you understand the engineering design process, the better and more believable your story will be. You are also encouraged to include with your submission information on one or more resources your readers can go to for more information.

IN SEARCH OF PROJECT LIT PLEDGES
In August 2016, high school English teacher, Jarred Amato, created Project Lit to increase access to high-quality, culturally relevant books and to promote a love of reading in communities. According to Amato, Project Lit believes "wholeheartedly in the power of reading and in its ability to bring people together and transform lives".
There are currently more than 400 chapters in 46 states across the country, and Ridgeway High School would like to be added to that number. Project Lit members would be expected to read a book each quarter from the Project Lit book list and meet to discuss it, assist in increasing access to high-quality books in this community, and advocate for policies and practices that encourage students to become life-long readers through the use of social media and via other methods. We need at least 21 students to join if we are to be accepted into this organization. Please see Mrs. Harris if you would like to represent your community in this effort. |
