Canvas:  Summer is nearing, and there is no time like the present to reflect on your Summer Reading List.  To help, there is a program called SYNC, which is a free summer audiobook program for teens 13+. Returning April 26, 2018, SYNC will give away two complete audiobook downloads a week - pairs of high interest titles, based on weekly themes until July 26th, 2018.   Once you download the eBook, it is yours to keep.  Check out the titles and the dates (also located on our WHS Canvas Library page) here: http://bit.ly/sync18

Library:  What do you need to think about when choosing a college? How do you pay for it? How do you prepare for college in high school and middle school. In this *College Hacks* hands-on workshop, teens and tweens will learn about college fit, receive tips for paying for and finding funding for college, and gain information on what they can do now to prepare for life after high school. Youth will leave with resources to continue their college preparation and planning at home. For more information, click here: http://bit.ly/collegehacks18

Digital Citizenship: 

Have you ever shared a story with a friend and realized later it just wasn't true?  As this phenomenon has taken on a life of its own on the internet, spreading to social media and unreliable news sources, the term 'fake news' was born.  Supplying a toolbox of veracity checkers is one way to help our students navigate the stories they encounter both on and offline.  A great starting point is checking a story or fact through Snopes.com.  Have a story you'd like to check?  Try it out: http://bit.ly/snopes101
