We hope that over the last two years you have been able to attend one of the Grad Knight Wine Tasting and Fundraising events at Vino at The Landing. These events have been a great way to socialize with old and new friends! We have one more opportunity to gather as parents before things get crazy later this year!
Sunday February 13th
3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Vino at The Landing
Bring your friends and enjoy 4 lovely wines and light appetizers
Participate in wine tasting tips and enjoy the company of friends
Find that perfect bottle of wine for Valentine's Day!
$20 per person collected by Vino’s
A percentage of wine purchases will also be donated
All proceeds benefit NHS Grad Knight 2011
The Grad Knight committee thanks you for all of your support in our fundraising efforts, yet we have a way to go to get to our goal. If you can't attend, consider sending a donation (NHS Grad Knight 2011, 4333 Factoria Blvd, Bellevue, WA 98006).
Please forward this Wine Tasting and Fundraising event information to your friends and neighbors. It is not limited to the Class of 2011 and it would be great to have parents and friends from other classes attend! So spread the word! Hope to see you there!

There is a little confusion out there for those of you submitting baby ads! The www.hjeshare.com/eShare/ website to upload your pictures has nothing to do with making a payment on-line! Do not email the the people downtown as they can't help you with anything related to uploading the photos for the baby ad. Please read the information below for clarification.
This is the website to UPLOAD your photos and message www.hjeshare.com/eShare/
The system can be confusing and I am hearing from many of you that you "think" you uploaded your photos. Which you most likely did...
Follow the instructions to upload one or more photos. To place your message, student name and ad size info do this In ONE of the description boxes. You are not prompted anywhere else to do this. I am hearing from many of you that you uploaded photos and not the message, student name, etc.
If you are having any difficulty with the upload process, forgot to include the message and ad size, or want confirmation that the photos/message were uploaded, contact Kim Driscoll driscollk@bsd405.org. Kim is the Yearbook Advisor. Remember that today is Finals. So be patient with getting a response.
Now that you have uploaded your photos, these are your PAYMENT options:
At your earliest convenience, bring a check to the accountant for the amount due for your baby ad. You don't have to do it today!
This is the website to pay online through the district website ttps://touchbase.bsd405.org - There is a yearbook option and then baby ad. Do NOT email the district (posalerts) with any other questions or concerns regarding baby ads. They can only assist you with the on-line payment system! posalerts@bsd405.org

Remind your senior - Be sure to check the spelling of your name for your diploma!

Seniors – Class of 2011 Reminders & Resources from the Counseling Center
FAFSA: If you haven’t filled this out already and are planning on attending college (2 or 4 year) next year, SUBMIT the FAFSA ASAP! Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov (ONLY USE THIS WEBSITE, THERE ARE SCAMS OUT THERE) Receiving financial aid dollars is first come, first served! Remember there is also the CSS Profile financial aid form that some private colleges want you to submit. Many schools have Financial Aid deadlines in January and February!
FAFSA College Goal Sunday – Do you need help filling out the FAFSA – then go to the College Goal Sunday event this coming Sunday, 1/16 at Interlake from 2-4 PM. Register online at www.collegegoalsundaywa.org and be sure to select Interlake.
Midyear reports: For any colleges you applied to on the common application, we will submit the midyear report. If your student has any additional information they would like us to share on the midyear report (awards or new info for colleges), please stop by and let us know. If there are any midyear reports for schools not on the common application, bring in the form (if not submitted already), a stamp and the address and we will send it in. Please don’t worry about Final reports, we will automatically send these in at the end of the year, once we know where you are going.
Community Service: Keep encouraging your senior to plug away at their 40 hours. Stop by if you need ideas. If you just need to turn in the paperwork, bring it to the counseling center this week! Many seniors say they have done their hours, but they haven’t done the forms – remember it doesn’t “count” until the forms are in & approved! Check your students hours on the PTSA website!
Scholarships/Financial Aid info: Stop by the counseling center for the latest scholarships and check out the bulletin on the NHS counseling website. A new scholarship site for Washington State Residents is www.Thewashboard.org See your counselor for other tips! Also visit the NHS Counseling Center Website and review the PowerPoint from Parent Financial Aid night in December which has links to various scholarship searches and explains everything about Financial Aid!
College Applications: UW Bothell and UW Tacoma are still accepting applications along with Western Washington University, Central Washington and Eastern Washington. Students should see us if they want to chat about options!
Community College: If your student is going to attend a community college next year, enroll in March to get priority for registering for classes in the fall (make sure you enroll for fall, 2011).
It’s hard to wait: The hardest thing is to wait to hear back from colleges. Colleges officially have until April 1st to notify applicants and then students have until May 1st to make their decision and notify all schools of their decision. If a friend has heard but your student hasn’t, stay positive, it doesn’t mean that they won’t get in!
Graduation---Encourage your senior to stay focused as they go into finals and 2nd semester so they don’t jeopardize graduation or college acceptance or scholarships for next year. They have worked too hard to let the last semester cause any regret.
