Whitko Scholarship Fund 
Scholarships through the Kosciusko County Foundation.

We can put information in a newsletter about this.  It's the "Whitko Sch0larship".  This scholarship is available to seniors who apply.  Advertise to pick up the application.  Counselor's office is where they're available.  They are probably available on line.  Talking up scholarships in general will be beneficial 

Whitko Scholarship is given out in May. There can be multiple. There have been up to 26 recipients. By January or February look into what scholarships you've completed.

Make people aware of what is going on with high ability students. 4 times per year. Michelle will talk with Nate about this too. We want to keep the "high ability" idea and program in front of people. ]]> 2016-09-13 20:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_ball/HA4PC/wish/123609939 michelle_ball https://padlet.com/michelle_ball/HA4PC/wish/123610941 Newspaper coverage of high ability classrooms with pictures of projects from all buildings.

We need to get PR into the paper. Needs to be a concerted effort for this, to market what we're doing. People often see the sports things, but not so much the academic.

Michelle will talk to Nate Haywood about this.  ]]> 2016-09-13 20:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_ball/HA4PC/wish/123610941 michelle_ball https://padlet.com/michelle_ball/HA4PC/wish/123611442 Social Media and use of our marketing director.

Nate Haywood can help. Michelle can contact Nate regarding helping with this. ]]> 2016-09-13 20:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_ball/HA4PC/wish/123611442 michelle_ball https://padlet.com/michelle_ball/HA4PC/wish/123611829 Have a booth at all buildings during parent/teacher conferences explaining high ability in the Whitko Corporation.  

Someone who is knowledgeable in high ability.  Could be someone like Georgia as well.  Have a handout - "These are some characteristics of high ability students."

Spring could be combined with art fair, combine with kindergarten round-up, etc. . . 

Look into PTO nights that are being planned in buildings, there could be a table with a handout.
