Seniors are you interested in an aviation career? Check out the website below.  http://www.pathwaystoaviation.org/nevada_aviation_careers_program

 

Formerly known as the Reno Air Racing Foundation, this organization creates pathways for students interested in aviation industry careers. Pathways to Aviation provides resources, connections, and activities to students whether they're slightly interested, want to learn more, or plan to pursue careers in this broad and growing industry.

 

Our new program (launching this winter) works closely with high school juniors and seniors, who are very interested in any aspect of the aviation industry. Through this program, the Nevada Aviation Careers program, students will participate in career readiness workshops, attend aviation expert presentations, tour aviation businesses, and work with industry and career mentors. The program is free of charge (thanks to donors), but students are required to register.

 

Need a stocking stuffer? Need a gift to give a friend or a teacher? Boosters has a great idea for you--Window Clings for only $5! These window clings are 4 by 6 inches and feature a large DR in Damonte blue and green.  They will be sold at various events as well as in the Student Store. These are not stickers--they won't stick to your car forever like a bumper sticker. They will stick inside your window of your car or home and can be removed any time.  Get yours while supplies last!

 

Do you want to learn more about God?  Come to Christian Club on Friday’s during lunch in room 135.  Hope to see you there!!

 

Nevada law states that students, ages 15 through 18, must complete 30 hours in a driver’s education class, plus 50 hours behind the wheel.

TMCC Community Education Driver’s Education class, which costs $99, fulfills the 30-hour classroom requirement. Parents are responsible for the 50 hours behind-the-wheel component.
