Planning For Life
Planning For Life Addresses Mind, Body and Soul
Want to get ahead in life? If you do, check out Planning For Life (PFL). PFL is a toolkit that helps students like you to better prepare - academically, physically, emotionally and financially - to further your education and plan for your life.
A key way to ensure success is to make sure your mind, body and soul are all working together. To strengthen your mind, body and soul, come to a PFL workshop in your community, or check out these areas of our website:
The Mind : learn about your strengths; plan for college (including making college affordable); research/plan for careers; and get ready for standardized tests with a free online test prep program worth $500-700;
The Body : don't just exercise your eyes - get moving! Learn about the importance of physical fitness, and get tips and suggestions for developing and maintaining a healthy diet.
The Soul : Hear about overcoming challenges in life, the importance of planning for life and achieving goals, and values, character and leadership.
Mind, Body and Soul do all need to work together to make you a stronger person. But you don't need to do it alone. Partner organizations such as the Council for Opportunity in Education's TRIO program, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), and the National Urban League (NUL), are working hand-in-hand with the program's sponsor, The U.S. Army, to give you the tools you need free of charge - like this Web site and the PFL workshops -- to help you plan for your life.
To get a little insight into what happens at a PFL workshop is all about, watch this video, http://www.planningforlife.com/video/east-stlouis.html. Afterwards continue surfing the Mind, Body and Soul website and then check out this list of upcoming PFL workshops. Good luck!

BoostUp.org
The Army is supporting an important Public Service campaign, and as JROTC student leaders, it would be great if you could help spread the word to your friends.
http://www.BoostUp.org is a super way to help other teens (or “friends”) know they aren’t alone as they work to make it to graduation. Check out the website and click the “Boost” button to send your friends words of encouragement, or grab the widget to place on your blog, MySpace Page, or Facebook Profile. You can also grab a “Countdown to Graduation” widget that will display a timer counting down to your own high school graduation.
Did you know that one out of every three high school students in America doesn’t graduate? This statistic is staggering, but you can help by encouraging others to do their best and stay in school. Here’s how:
• Send a boost via text message, or through the campaign website
• Become a BoostUp Student Ambassador by joining the Facebook group
• Become a fan of Boost Up on Facebook so we can keep you updated with more information.
• Grab a BoostUp badge or a “Countdown to Graduation” widget on either the Facebook Fan Page, or the MySpace page so your friends see it on your profile.
• Have Phoenix Suns’ Amare Stoudemire send your friend a wake-up call.
• Create your own 2-5 minute video to help show how BoostUp can be beneficial to your own community, as part of Adobe Youth Voices.
Thanks for your help with this important initiative. You can make a difference.

Beautification Day 2008 - Saturday, 23 Aug 2008
Eastern SHS JROTC has registered as a volunteer to support DCPS Beautification Day at Eastern SHS.
We are writing to extend an invitation to you in hopes you'll join in and help us on Saturday, August 23, 2008, from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm . Eastern SHS' motto is "The Pride of Capitol Hill". Your support will be a tremendous boost in "sprucing up" Eastern as we prepare for the first day of school. Some of the tasks include picking up trash and debris, planting flowers, and painting exterior doors.
Please email or call me if you'll be able to help us at this event. We look forward to seeing you on August 23rd!
Best regards,
