only a concept. In real life every day you

The Choice Bus Visits SHS
The Choice Bus is a learning tool planned to
help high school students understand the
importance of education. The program also
offers a reality based experience involving
the consequences of choosing to drop out of
school. The bus contains a full scale
replica of a prison cell which is hidden
behind a curtain and video monitor.
When students enter the bus, they are shown
a short video clip of earning potential for
students that dropout versus a high-school
and/or a college graduate. The video clip
includes powerful testimonials from prison
inmates. After the video and
short/question answer segment, the cell is
revealed. It demonstrates the unmistakable
reality experienced by many dropouts, who
choose to make poor decisions. Students were
allowed to examine the prison cell to
briefly experience the uncomfortable living
conditions. As they exited the bus,
they received a pledge card and were asked
to sign a banner making a commitment to
finish school and make good choices.

Android Programming Summer Camp
The Summer Android Programming Camp, taught
by Clemson University computer science
teachers will be held from July 29th to Aug
2 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Southside. The
camp is open to any rising 9th though 12th
grade students in the Greenville area.
Unfortunately we don't have a grant this
year to cover expenses, so the cost is $200
per student. However, it's still a bargain
and an excellent opportunity to learn about
Android Phone programming and computer
science. To reserve a place in the camp,
students can sign up at
