G2) College Scholarship
Support Collectors is excited to announce a new scholarship program that we want to share with your students. We want to provide financial assistance to a selected college student who has either been affected by family separation in their own life, or who intends to pursue a career that will have a positive impact on separated families. The selected student will receive an award of $500 for use toward tuition, books, or living expenses.
All incoming freshman or existing undergraduate or graduate students in good academic standing are eligible to apply. Please share this with your student community.
Application and Information:
All applicants can get more information and apply online at this address:
http://www.supportcollectors.com/scholarship/
Application Deadline:
Dec 15th, 2017
More on the Scholarship:
Support Collectors wants to bring more awareness to the key issues faced by children of separated families, and how to overcome them.
The $500 scholarship is given annually to a selected student based on the submission quality of the application, which will include a short, 1000 word or less essay on: Problems faced by children of separated families, and how to overcome them.
Any existing college student or incoming freshman (to be enrolled in the Fall of 2017 in good academic standing) attending any school, college or university as a full-time student can apply for this scholarship.
G3) Fascinating Info about Bird Eggs
Like gems in a jeweler's window, the eggs of birds are works of art, with striking variations in color and pattern. How does the color get there? What is it made of? Does it benefit the embryo? And why are some eggs plain white? https://www.allaboutbirds.org/the-beauty-and-biology-of-egg-color

2) Let's Play Music Class
Let's Play Music is a three year music theory course that emphasizes total musicianship through piano playing, singing, classical music, note reading, and ear training. The best part is it's all accomplished through PLAY! If you were to peek in on a Let's Play Music class, you would see jumping, singing, skipping, storytelling, and laughing. As musical concepts and skills are presented in a playful, joyful setting, children absorb knowledge and ability. Let's Play Music is geared toward young children starting at age 4 to 6. When children graduate they can understand the language of music and succeed in any music endeavor they choose to pursue. If you would like to check into the program even further the website is www.letsplaymusicsite.com. Kelly Standiford is a local certified teacher.

Being good in math is about practice and to put in the practice time, students need motivation. This event is open to ALL 1st-8th Graders and is a great way to establish focus for math.
Competition Specifics:
During a nearly 10-hour day, thousands of elementary and middle school students will rotate in and out of the competition sites, where they will work to qualify for the Regional Event to be held in St. Louis (April 2018). Hundreds will qualify for the Regional.
Cost of Event:
There is a small entry fee of only $10 per student to help defray cost, but the hundreds that will progress to the Regional and/or National Events pay no additional fees.
