“Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.”--Dr. Suess
JHS students interested in a career in public relations:
Saxum is hosting its annual summer internship. Below is a little information on this program.
Summership will take place virtually again this year, but we have decided to break it up into two half days, which will take place on June 16 from 1-5 p.m. and June 17 from 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
The Summership is Saxum's annual interactive shadow day. Open to high school and college students, this event allows participants to hear from current interns and grads as well as full-time staff. Summership students start to build their network, get a glimpse of what agency life is like and even work on a sample project.
If you would like more information or information on how to sign up see Mr. Moses or Mr. Watkins.

The members of KF&B remember how hard it was to pay for education to become the amazing lawyers they are today. Therefore, as a way to pay it forward to others, they have created the $1,000 KF&B Law Academic Scholarship, which is in its third year, to help one student lessen their financial burden from school.
The scholarship is open to any high school senior, or any college student who isn't in their final year. The $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to the winner’s school’s financial aid department. The scholarship is open to any major, they do not have to be law students.
Deadline May 1
