47 High School Global Studies students visit the Museum of Natural History in NYC

Social Studies teachers Jamie Maholchic and Diane Steele planned the trip to give students the opportunity to view the many exciting exhibits at the museum that directly relate to the Global Studies classroom.

The students attended an amazing planetarium show entitled Cosmic Collisions, which made them feel like they were flying through space and witnessing celestial bodies colliding with one another. They also viewed many of the museum’s exhibits, including animals from all over the world, artifacts from ancient cultures and the students’ favorite, dinosaur skeletons.

Teachers Betty Moubray, Erika Kwasnik and Matt Maholchic also went along to help keep track of the students in the 5-story museum. The students and teachers all had a fantastic time learning and having fun.

Making College and Career Count

As a part of our efforts to prepare seniors for future success, the Student Services Department is pleased to offer a presentation that can play an important role in the process. Making College and Career Count, a practical, current look at succeeding after high school, will be presented in the Norwich High School Auditorium on Wednesday, May 28 at 9:00 a.m.

We would like to invite senior students and their parent/guardians to attend this dynamic presentation. Parents across the nation have found the program to provide a very helpful perspective on what their students will experience and have become better able to assist them by attending the presentation.

Making College and Career Count offers valuable perspective to students on how to:
• set and achieve personal success goals;
• manage finances and avoid the pitfalls of credit card debt;
• manage time and set priorities;
• utilize internships and other jobs to build critical skills; and
• choose an appropriate career path by evaluating strengths, interests and the future job market.

The program shares the national success statistics for today’s students and stresses that every individual’s post high school experience
is unique. It shares fundamentals for success—things many college students know by senior year but wish they had understood earlier in the process.
There is no fee to attend the presentation. If you have any questions, please contact Student Services at 334-1600, ext. 1037.
