Rising Juniors - CAS Projects

Attention Rising Juniors and Parents,

I have received a few emails from students wanting to start their CAS (Creativity, Action and Service) Activities and Projects over the Summer.  Unfortunately, IB does not recognize and activities/projects prior to the beginning of the Junior Year (August 18, 2014).  Therefore any work that you do over the summer may qualify for Bright Futures, but it will not count towards your CAS Outcomes.

Here are some suggestions that I have for your over the Summer for those that are itching to get started:

1.  Brainstorm a List of activities that you think you might want to participate in.
2.  Research those activities on a local level (Contacts, Areas of town, Opportunities to Volunteer, Etc.)
3.  Create a master list of ideas that you think we work for CAS .
4. Wait til August 18th to get things started.

Parents:  We will have a Junior CAS Meeting once we return to school (September/October) so that you and your students will be able to get all of the pertinent information that you will need to stay on top of these experiential learning opportunities over the next two years.  This way Mrs. Curran and I are not the only ones pushing your child to be diligent in tracking and maintaining their CAS Activities/Projects.

Thanks for your Patience!

Mr. Carter
