I hope you’re all having a wonderful Friday! Next month, the Princeton Review is hosting “Cracking the Test,” a student’s guide to the SAT, ACT, PSAT, and AP tests. We want to invite your students to join this weeklong series of events covering the differences between the tests, test-taking strategies, and the role of standardized tests in college admission.

I have included a downloadable flyer here.

Dear JCH Parent,

I’m writing to let you know about a holiday gift from our friends at Revolution Prep.

As many of our families have already experienced, Revolution Prep has a team of professional tutors who have been teaching online for over a decade, and they’re giving each of you a gift card for up to $200 toward live online tutoring and test preparation. With consideration for the busy holiday season and winter break, this is a wonderful way to keep students engaged and on track to meet their academic goals.

Visit www.revolutionprep.com/gift-card to get your gift card before December 31st! You can also see a digital flyer about the promotion here.

Hello John Champe High School Community,

My name is Gabby and I lead the Ambassador Program for the Side-Out Foundation. The Ambassador Program is an opportunity for your students to earn volunteer hours, national scholarships, and leadership experience while impacting metastatic breast cancer research.

Side-Out is an accredited nonprofit, started by a high school volleyball coach in Fairfax County. You can read our story here. Since 2006 we have hosted over 10,000 fundraising events nationally and studied over 500,000 breast cancer cells to develop individualized treatments and improve care for those in the latest stages of breast cancer (We have hosted over 661 events in Virginia alone). We focus on educating and empowering the youngest generations to understand metastatic breast cancer and support change for those affected.

I’m hoping you can help me make sure your students know about Side-Out and our Ambassador Program. You can find all the details here. Whether your students are looking for leadership experience, nonprofit experience, exposure to medical career fields or just want to find a meaningful volunteer opportunity - we’d love to meet them and encourage them to register during the month of December.

Thank you so much for your time in reading this,

Gabrielle Huff

Ambassador Program Manager
