Early
Awareness Committee Report
The
committee’s idea to raffle off IPOD Nanos at the NYS
Fair was a huge success. We drew a crowd at each drawing. It was a great way to
get people to return to the tent – we required that they be present at the
drawing to win. Winners of the drawings were:
Noon: Jacob Parsons –
2 PM: Tyler Norton – Bolivar-
4 PM: Vincent Buttimer
–
I
will be contacting the school counselors at each of these schools to let them
know their student won and to let them know what NYSFAAA has to offer to them.
The
committee is now working on adding an Early Awareness power point presentation
to our website for members to use if they are approached about presenting on Early
Awareness. When it is added to the website I will go out with a notice to the
membership that it is available.
We
are also compiling a list of NYSFAAA resources available to our membership
which will include printed materials and electronic resources with their target
audience. When this project is completed it will be distributed to our
membership via the NYSFAAA listserve.
We
will also be ordering another supply of the “The Path to College Starts in
Middle School” brochure for distribution to middle school counselors this fall.
