Adaptive Soccer Looking for Volunteers

Hi, Everyone! I have been participating in an Adaptive Soccer Program as a buddy, to help children with disabilities play soccer since Freshman Year. We have significantly fewer volunteers this year. We are looking for volunteers to help with this great program. You do not need to be a soccer player to do this, you just need to know the basic skills. We have practices every Wednesday night 5:30-6:15 pm and games at 12 noon to 12:45pm on Saturdays at the field behind the SAU building. You do not have to attend all games or practices. Any time you can give would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested please contact me and I will give you the information to contact the Program Coordinator. My email is 9955247@bedfordnhk12.net. Thanks!

Fixes to tech opp announcement

I forgot to link the Google Doc in the project overview. Just to review, there are two opportunities coming November 8th:

• Tech "guides": Just being good hosts, no tech knowledge needed. Anyone can sign up in the Google Doc.
• Tech "presenters": This is a bit more unique and requires emailing Mr. Ahnert so he can set you up with Mr. Sheil. Basically, we want a few high schoolers to teach some Bedford teachers about apps that are popular with you guys so we can incorporate the language of them into our relationships with you.

Open the Google Doc in a new window.

Unique Technology Integration Service Hour Opportunities

Mark your calendar for November (NOVEMBER!?) 8th. Not only is that the date of the 2016 election, but it is also the first ever Bedford School District Future Ready Conference. The technology integration department really wants to get students involved, and they are coming to our National Honor Society first. There are two ways to get involved and earn hours:

Student Conference Assistants
Personnel Needs	50	Description	A large team of students is needed to help the technology department manage classroom equipment and assist presenters with set up and takedown. Advanced technology experience is not needed.
Chapter Project?	Yes
Individual Service Interest Area(s)		Public Relations, Technology, Education, Event Planning, Collaboration, Leadership
Hours Provided	1 - 6	Contact	Add your name to Chapter Project sign up

Student Conference Presenters
Personnel Needs	2 - 5	Description	National Honor Society has a speaking slot at the conference! This is a resume/college app builder for sure. Mr. Ahnert and the tech team worked together to create this session for teachers: App Culture: So, what ARE we doing on our phone? For High School Teachers Volunteer students from the National Honor Society will give a guided "tour" of popular apps on the smartphones of today's student. Actual content subject to change (session running will be contingent on getting interest from NHS members in the Fall), but it is expected that Instagram and Snapchat will be highlighted by the student presenters. The focus of the workshop will not be to use the apps in the classroom, but to give teachers knowledge and vocabulary about technology that is important to students today. So, we have the spot, but we need the students!
Chapter Project?	Yes
Individual Service Interest Area(s)		Public Speaking,  Technology, Education, Collaboration, Leadership, Risk Taking
Hours Provided	1 (Plus all your prep time)	Contact	Email Mr. Ahnert directly so he can put a team together that can work with Mr. Sheil or if you have more questions about what putting this presentation will ask of you.

What makes these really different and special is that this is a day that is normally closed to students. You will get to see what your teachers do on those mysterious days where we have school and you don't. What's more, you're being given a chance to teach us how to integrate technology better in our future classroom.

Taking part in these opportunities means taking part in the future of the Bedford School District, and that's cool!

If you have any interest in being on the student presenter team, please let me know. If we don't get any student interest, we'll have to take our conference session off the schedule. I know the tech teachers are really excited to have you. It would be a neat achievement by our district to have students be a part of our workshops.
