Contracts for cars, cell phones and credit cards; MySpace/internet safety, electronic footprints; playing Life Jeopardy? Not your typical high school academic coursework, but the Helena Education Foundation, HHS and CHS business departments, the Student Assistance Foundation, American Federal Savings Bank and Montana Office of Consumer Protection are teaming up to sponsor just such an “academy” – with a Vigilante theme - for students at both high schools on Thursday, May 1, 2008, from 8:20 AM – noon. The workshops address topics of special importance to youth in a professional atmosphere with great food, speakers and prizes.
This year the Vigilante Academy presents a very special keynote address at CHS and HHS, Unleashing Accountability: Life is Not Dress Rehearsal!, by Wendy Samson of FutureSync International. Ms. Samson encourages young people to take chances, yet demand the best from themselves and develop a sense of responsibility in relationships, personal finance and employment.
Community, school and government experts will present the three classes on these topics for the first 200 students to sign up at each school. These three presentations will be fun, interactive and interspersed with food and drawings for electronic gear and gas, food and clothing cards.
Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn skills for a lifetime! For more information or to sign up, contact HEF at this website, sign up at the school lobbies at each high school or contact Willie Schlepp at Helena High, Char Lawrence at Capital High School, or the office at PAL.
This event is sponsored by the Student Assistance Foundation and American Federal Savings Bank. For more information on specific classes and speakers, click here.
