What High Schools Don't Tell You (And Other Parents Don't Want You toKno: Create a Long-Term Plan for Your 7th to 10th Grader for Getting into the Top Colleges

From the author of What Colleges Don’t Tell You, a plan to help parents of middle and early high school students prepare their kids for the best colleges

In order to succeed in the fiercely competitive college admissions game, you need a game plan—and you have to start young. In this empowering guide, Elizabeth Wissner- Gross, a nationally sought-after college “packager,” helps parents of seventh to tenth graders create a long-term plan that, come senior year, will allow their kids to virtually write their own ticket into their choice of schools.

Parents should start by helping their kids identify their academic passions, then design a four-year strategy based on those interests. The book details hundreds of opportunities available to make kids stand out that most high school guidance counselors and teachers simply don’t know about or don’t think to share. This indispensable guide should be required reading for any parent whose child dreams of attending one of the country’s top colleges.

After taking 8th (meh, outta 16) in the 2006 Science Olympiad Regionals the team partied it up after school watching Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and consuming far too much sugar and caffeine. Back 4 are Chickenseed (Emily), Lissie (Melissa), Scott, Kaitlyn and in the front is Kaitlyn's twin Jeni (Jennifer).

Here's the finished product! The CHSN Science Olympiad team wore these t-shirts to the 2009 competition in February.

This premium collection of 90 rocks and minerals includes all of the specimens for a comprehensive study of Rocks and Minerals. This is the best value that we have in rock kits. The Science Olympiad is a High School National Competition in Science. This kit covers what minerals and rocks are, how they are formed, classified and identified along with suggested labs and work sheets. It covers luster, Moh's scale of hardness, streak, specific gravity, cleavage, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks and subclasses along with many other things. This is one of our best sellers to homeschoolers, teachers and just anyone interested in Earth Science. This is a great value for what is included. Most of the products that we have and use today were made from raw materials taken from the ground or related in some way to those materials. Our computers; the cars we drive; the bicylcle we ride, the buildings that we live in; the food we eat and even the clothing that we wear, comes from or are in some way associated with Rocks & Minerals. (copyright J. Reinkensmeyer, 1999). It is recommended for grades 6-12. There is a numbered identification key of the specimens. The specimen size is approximately 1-1/4 x 3/4 each, in a compartmented tray & box. This is a wonderful gift for a budding scientist or anyone interested in rocks. Please email if you would like a list of the rocks included.
