March 2020

The U.S. Census Bureau has embarked on a nationwide effort to inform everyone living in the United States and five of its territories about the upcoming 2020 Census and to encourage them to respond online, by phone, or by mail.

Everyone counts. The census counts every person living in the U.S. once, only once, and in the right places.

It’s about fair representation. Every 10 years, the results of the census are used to reapportion the House of Representatives, determining how many seats each state gets.

It’s in the constitution. The U.S. Constitution mandates that everyone in the country be counted every 10 years. The first census was in 1790.

SheTech Explorer Day is a hands-on tech conference is on April 15, 2020, for high school girls ninth through twelfth grade. This day-long event will include hands-on workshops in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).  The ultimate goal is to expose girls to technology in a fun atmosphere as well as meet STEM role models to learn more about opportunities in those fields. Girls who attend will have access to internships, receive a SheTech certificate, receive pathway information and become part of a community to help girls have opportunities in STEM.

Registration is open for the SheTech Explorer Day on April 15. The best workshops fill up quickly so register ASAP! There is no cost and lunch is provided.

On Tuesday,  Salem Hills High School senior who also attends the ALC was recognized on the floor of the senate for receiving the Prudential Spirit of Community Award for her service in the community.  This student was Sydney Ward.

Sydney was one of two students in the state to receive the award that honors young people around the country for outstanding acts of volunteerism.

Being recognized on the floor of the senate was fitting for the high school senior, as much of her volunteer work has been done to promote civic engagement in the youth.
