SEED Applications for Summer Employment

Any Grade 12 student interested in filling out a SEED application for a student grant (for summer employment) is asked to meet in the Electronics Room on Tuesday and Wednesday February 19th and 20th. I will help students fill out the application at that time. It will be the students responsibility to mail the application once it has been completed.   If you want to be considered for any job that is supported by a government grant (i.e. the ball park, the village, local churches, etc) you must complete one of these forms.   If you cannot make it to flex on these days please see me for an application or make an appointment and I can help you at another time.   See you next Tuesday and Wednesday !
