Admissions Counselor for the Day
Sophomore students got to experience what college admissions counselors are looking for when they review applicants. Students were placed into groups and given sample applications and asked to look for things that really stood out to them. They had to work together to decide which applicant should be admitted and why. This exercise was directed at the Sophomores because now is the time students should be thinking about improving their grades, get-ting involved with extracurricular activities, volunteering, participat-ing in community events, etc in order to increase their chances of getting into the college of their choice.
Your Sophomore Year Checklist
Here is a list of items to be working on during your Sopho-more year. These are items that will help you in your fu-ture endeavors. Whether you choose to go to college, enlist in the military, or enter the workforce, this checklist will help you graduate! Check to see if and when you can take courses that
will earn you college credit. Continue to make good grades, join clubs, teams and
organizations. Meet with your counselor to make sure you are still on
track with your required classes. Talk with older kids about their plans for college. Ask
them if they wish they had done anything differently. Look into visiting some local college campuses. Create a file folder to include:
Copies of Report Cards
A list of awards and honors you receive (ie. Student of
the Quarter, Athlete of the Month, etc.)
A list of school clubs and community organizations you
join, including date of participation and any offices you held.
A list of jobs you have held (Volunteer and/or paid)
Scholarship Information The 2017-2018 Scholarship Booklet is now available. You can pick up a printed version in the Counseling Office, go to the gblions website for the pdf, or the student common folder for the elec-tronic version. The deadline is March 1 at 3:00PM. There will be no exceptions.
On November 15, 2017 over 1,500 high school students
from across Northern New York met with Watertown area
employers for Workforce 2020. It's an annual event where
students get to mock interview with area employers from
all different industries. The employers at Workforce 2020
represented a variety of industries including marketing,
agriculture, health and human services, and architecture
and construction.

“Workforce 2020 was a great experi-
ence. There were a lot of different
opportunities there in various fields.
The interview experience was very
beneficial , if you have never had
one. Overall, I loved it.”

“Workforce 2020 was a very educa-
tional opportunity. It helps develop
communication and socialization skills
that are needed to succeed in life.
Students gain knowledge and experi-
ence through these mock interviews.
It prepares young adults to experi-
ence the interviewing process to be-
come employed.”

Job Shadowing
As students make the transition from middle
school to high school, many of them begin think-ing about careers and what they will be doing
when they finish their education. On November 8th we offered an opportunity for students to
broaden their knowledge about careers and be-
ing in a work place environment. As part of our Home and Careers curriculum, the students
spent a day visiting an adult at work in the com-munity. This activity is commonly called “job
shadowing.”
Students benefited from this experience by:
observing a direct link between classroom
learning and successful performance in jobs and careers
developing an awareness of the importance
of positive work attitude values and habits
learning about a given job/career and com-
pleting an interview as outlined in the Home and Careers class
demonstrating what they have learned by
doing a visual display and giving an oral presentation.
Fourteen students were placed in a job shadow-ing experience by attending work with a parent,
family member or neighbor. Next semester we will be placing 91 students in a job shadowing
experience and will be looking for individuals
interested in hosting a student. Interested par-ties may contact Casey Nicol at 315-779-2300 or
emailing [email protected].
Mikel Fiske learned the ropes of pizza making at
Papa Tino’s Pizzeria in Watertown. He spent time
pressing dough, weighing out ingredients, stock-
ing products and even made his very own pizza.
According to Mikel, “It’s really fun! Although the work is hard, you
get paid well.”
Natalie Favret was able to spend
the day with her mother, Andrea
Favret , in a pharmacy. She was
able to watch her prepare IV medi-
cations and deliver medications
with the techni-
cians. She also
got to spend some time in the Lab with the
Pathologists and lab technicians where she observed
the doctor analyzing tissue specimens. Natalie said
“watching them analyze the specimen was very inter-
esting, and has me now considering finding a career
in the medical field.”
The Breakfast Club was created as a means of acknowledging some of our out-standing junior high students who put forth an excellent effort, as well as a positive attitude toward school. Students
were served bagels, donuts, & juice. They were joined by their teachers, administrators and school counselors. The administration and faculty would like to congratulate the following students who were nominated for the 1st Quarter:
