Tree plenish is a non-profit organization; its mission is to empower students to create more sustainable schools by replenishing the environment with the resources they use each year. Our goal is to plant 200 trees, 100 on campus and 100 in our district. May 13th we are hosting an event where people who bought trees can pick up their trees, visit booths selling plants and other items, play games, and more! This will support clubs and classes. The deadline to order trees is April 13th!
To help us reach our goal you can order trees though this link: https://treeplenish.typeform.com/to/Q0dt0rh9.
You can sponsor us through: https://treeplenish.typeform.com/to/jLM2MJsz.

UMASS LOWELL CENTER FOR AUTISM RESEARCH AND EDUCATION (CARE)
EXPERT SPEAKER SERIES SPRING 2023:
Employment and Education in Neurodiversity Webinar
In collaboration with Neurodiversity Horizons
Wednesday April 5, 2023 6-7 p.m. EST - Virtual via Zoom
University of Massachusetts Lowell Center for Autism Research and Education (CARE) and Neurodiversity Horizons are collaborating to host an Employment and Education in Neurodiversity Webinar! We are bringing together a panel of neurodiverse advocates to talk about their experiences regarding employment and higher education. Neurodiversity is a rising advocacy, and we encourage everyone to join and learn about making our world more inclusive. Many autistic adults are unemployment or underemployment, including those with a college degree. This is an important problem that we need to fix by battling the stigma against neurodiversity. To learn more about this and make our world a better place, join us on April 5th 6-7 p.m. EST on Zoom!

Getting more financial aid If you have a student who needs additional financial aid to afford a particular college, encourage the family to submit an appeal. The appeal process allows students to ask for an increase in the financial aid offered, and can make the difference in being able to attend a specific school. Our post answers some key questions about the process. Click here for more information. ACT & SAT Guidance Though many colleges still aren’t requiring standardized tests for this upcoming admissions season, countless students will still choose to take an exam. But how will they decide between the SAT and ACT? We asked a standardized text expert to compare the two options, and how to prepare for each one. Find his guidance in our post, SAT or ACT? How to Decide. Click here for more information. Spring college fairs College fairs are a great opportunity for students and their families to connect with representatives from many different colleges at once, gather information, and find out about new schools. NACAC and NEACAC are both hosting several college fairs in Massachusetts and greater New England this spring. Follow the links below for more details. |
