Week of June 6, 2017

SENIORS:  FINAL REMINDERS!

Graduation Tickets

Graduation tickets will be available for pick-up this week during lunch outside of room 330.  Each senior will be receiving 13 tickets.  If additional tickets are need, please have your student ask their peers first and then reach out to Ms. Sheppard on Friday, June 9.  There is a limited amount of extra tickets, but we will try to accommodate everyone’s requests.

Graduation Rehearsal Information

Graduation rehearsal is held at the Altria Theater on June 16, 2017.  Parking for graduation is available at the VCU parking deck for a minimal fee (entrances are on Cherry and Laurel Streets).  Remind students to keep their receipts from the parking deck.  They will be able to return later in the day for no additional charge.  Please adhere to posted street parking signs as ticketing and towing are strictly enforced. Seniors must arrive no later than 8:45 a.m. and report to the downstairs ballroom (enter through the Main Street entrance towards the rear of the building).  Rehearsal will begin at 9:00 a.m. sharp.  ANY STUDENT WHO MISSES REHEARSAL WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO WALK IN THE ACTUAL GRADUATION CEREMONY, so parents are asked to please work with your student to make sure he or she is on time.  Practice is usually completed by 11:30 a.m. or so; but given that we will take as long as needed to perfect the process, please do not plan anything that requires your student to leave early or be gone by a certain time.  This run-through is crucial to the success of the graduation ceremony.

Graduation Information

Graduates must arrive at the downstairs ballroom by 2:00 p.m.  For organizational reasons, this area is off limits to parents, relatives, and friends; we appreciate your understanding.  Cap, gown, and tassel are the most important items for the day, but students are asked to dress appropriately:  dark dress pants, collared shirt and tie for the young men, dresses or dark dress pants for the young women.    Students may wear cords earned as part of their membership in our Honor Societies (as has been our custom).  Students may wear one piece of additional pre-approved regalia which they have earned as a member of an enduring MLWGS organization.  All pieces of regalia will be distributed by sponsors in the days leading up to graduation.

Perhaps the most important clothing decision for the day, however, is shoes.  Dress shoes and socks or low-heeled dress shoes are the best choices; please, no “flip-flops” or athletic shoes.  Additionally, decorations on mortarboards are absolutely prohibited.

Doors to Altria Theater will open at 2:30 p.m.  Guests should enter through the front doors and must have a ticket to attend graduation.  Seating is not reserved.  Handicap seating is available in multiple locations; please see one of the ushers at the door upon your arrival if you need this seating.  Parking for graduation is available at the VCU parking deck for a minimal fee (entrances are on Cherry and Laurel Streets.)   Please adhere to posted street parking signs as ticketing and towing are strictly enforced.

Photographs during the ceremony are only allowed from your seats.   The Altria Theater will not permit us to spill into the aisles for this activity, and they enforce this quite seriously.  However, Strawbridge Studios will be taking pictures of each individual student as he/she receives his/her diploma.

Graduation activites should conclude by 5:30 p.m.

SERVICE OPPORTUNITY

A MLWGS alumna, Katie Houston (Class of 2004) has reached out to offer a community service opportunity to current students.  She’s volunteering heavily with an organization called ReEstablish Richmond, which works to help refugees acclimate and put down roots in the area.

They have a high need right now for volunteer tutors who are willing to help middle and elementary school students with English language skills and simple math skills (i.e. counting to 100).  The kids can communicate verbally in English, but a lot of them are struggling with literacy, and their schools don't have the capacity to help them adequately.

Any interested students can contact Katie directly at kghouston05@gmail.com.  She would really love to have Maggie Walker students involved with the organization and emphasized that if anyone is available to help soon, the need for tutors is pressing.

HELLO TO MAGGIE AND WALKER!

Richmond Times-Dispatch, May 22, 2017

The names have been chosen for the adult ospreys featured on the RVA Osprey Cam and they are....

"Maggie" for the female/mom.

"Walker" for the male/dad.

​"Maggie is the female. She has the brownish ring of feathers around her upper chest. Walker, the male, has all white feathers in that same area," RichmondOutside.com said.

The babies are not being named because it's expected that once they're bigger and can fly, they will probably leave the nest for good around the end of the summer.

The names were announced at the Friends of the James River Park System booth at Dominion Riverrock and were chosen from a public contest which received over 1500 votes in 10 days.

Right now is prime osprey-watching time on the www.richmondospreycamera.com.

Maggie and Walker are feeding the chicks regularly and the babies are getting bigger every day.

MLWGS LIBRARY COMMUNITY SERVICE OPPORTUNITY FOR 2016/2017

Do you love books and libraries?

Do you have skills in customer service, marketing, online research, or video production?

Will you have a study block in your schedule next year?

Consider applying for a library assistant position!

Since this role will include tasks typical of library assistant positions in college and public libraries (e.g. customer service, circulating and processing books, etc.), being a library assistant at MLWGS may give you an edge when seeking a work-study assignment or part-time work in a library. In addition, a special facet of this role at MLWGS will be for each library assistant to adopt a section of the collection that interests them (e.g. psychology, economics, poetry).

Library assistants may also propose special projects related to an identified need in the library or to their adopted section, such as producing video tutorials, marketing the library on social media channels, facilitating a book discussion, designing a book display, writing book reviews or producing book trailers, or organizing a related activity.  Similar to student ambassadors, they may earn community service for any hours during which they are actively engaged in completing library assistant duties.

Through an application and interview process, Ms. DeGroat will select a small team of assistants for the 2016-2017 school year.

If you have questions about this opportunity or would like an application, please see Ms. DeGroat.  Applications from current 9th, 10th, and 11th-grade students are due by June 7, 2016.

GRASP, A VIRGINIA COLLEGE ACCESS ORGANIZATION, RECEIVES $5K GRANT FROM COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF THE CENTRAL BLUE RIDGE

Thanks to a $5,000 grant from Community Foundation of the Central Blue Ridge, and, more specifically, the Jamin Fund, GReat Aspirations Scholarship Program, Inc. (GRASP), a college-access organization, can continue to provide its financial aid services to high school students in the Central Blue Ridge area of Virginia during the 2016-2017 school year.

“GRASP is delighted to be providing its financial aid services to students in the Central Blue Ridge region,” said Bettsy Heggie, GRASP CEO.  “This grant, in particular, shows community support not only for the GRASP program but also for the region’s students as they take their next steps toward education after high school and the opportunity for a better future as a result of that education.”

GRASP, a Virginia non-profit, implements its services via advisors who provide free, confidential, one-on-one counseling to students seeking financial aid and scholarships for continuing education after high school – whether that is technical school, community college or a four-year university.

GRASP advisors now serve students and families in 76 Virginia schools, from the greater Richmond area, to the Central Blue Ridge region, to Lancaster County in the east, and to Sussex County in the south.  The highly trained, GRASP advisors are adept at navigating the complexities of the college and post-secondary education financial aid process.  They also have a passion for helping today’s youth grasp infinite opportunities.

During the 2014-2015 academic year, GRASP advisors overall met with more than 6,800 students individually, helping them with a game plan for education after high school.  Additionally, GRASP awarded 124 Last Dollar scholarships totaling $125,000 to students, providing additional financial assistance toward their educational goals.

GRASP was co-founded in 1983 by Senator Walter Stosch and Dr. Ray Gargiulo.  GRASP advisors work one day per week at each school.  Appointments, which are free of charge, can be made through the schools’ counseling offices.  More information about GRASP is available at the website, www.grasp4va.org.

LUNCHTIME IN THE FORUM TALK, TUESDAY, MAY 31

“Reliable Tools for Data Exploration in Healthcare”

Dr. Doshi-Velez, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Harvard University and MLWGS alum, will talk about some work she’s doing to understand non-identifiability in the context of non-negative matrix factorization (NMF).  NMF is a popular tool to do data exploration, and recently she has been doing work to see how robust it is: that is, can there sometimes be two very different explanations for the same data?  And if so, how can researchers expose them so that clinical scientists can use them to generate the next study?  She will start with some concrete examples, talk about some underlying math, and touch on what students might want to study if they want to do machine learning/data science in the future.

Doshi-Velez is excited about methods to turn data into actionable knowledge.  Her core research in machine learning, computational statistics, and data science is inspired by—and often applied to—the objective of accelerating scientific progress and practical impact in healthcare and other domains.  Specifically, she is interested in questions such as: How can we design robust, principled models to combine complex data sets with other knowledge sources?  How can we design models that summarize and generate hypotheses from such data?  How can we characterize the uncertainty in large, heterogeneous data to provide better support for decisions?  Doshi-Velez is interested in developing the probabilistic methods to address these questions.  Prior to joining SEAS, Doshi-Velez was an NSF CI-TRaCS Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School.  She was a Marshall Scholar at Trinity College, Cambridge from 2007-2009, and she was named one of IEEE’s “AI Top 10 to Watch” in 2013.”

Doshi-Velez graduated from GSGIS in 2001 and earned her PhD from MIT in 2012.  She is currently an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

MLWGS Library

Community Service Opportunity for 2015/2016

Do you have a study block on your schedule for next school year?  Would you like to learn skills that could help you land a job in a public or college library?

Consider applying for a library assistant position!

Since this role will include tasks typical of library assistant positions (e.g. covering new books, shelving books, etc.), being a library assistant at MLWGS may give you an edge if you seek a work-study assignment or part-time work in a library. In addition, a special facet of this role at MLWGS will be for each library assistant to adopt a section of the collection that interests them (e.g. psychology, economics, poetry). They will then care for their adopted section by familiarizing themselves with the materials, highlighting books as their “staff picks” (as you often see in bookstores), and making recommendations for new books and/or suggestions about books that should be withdrawn. Library assistants may also propose special projects related to their adopted section, such as facilitating a book discussion, designing a book display, or organizing a related activity during lunch or after school.  Similar to student ambassadors, they may earn community service for any hours during which they are actively engaged in completing library assistant duties.

Through an application and interview process, Ms. DeGroat will select a small team of three to six students for the 2015-2016 school year.

If you have questions about this opportunity or would like an application, please see Ms. DeGroat in the library.  Applications from current 9^th, 10^th, and 11^th-grade students are due by June 11, 2015.

REMINDERS FOR SENIORS

Senior Recognition Night

Thursday, June 4, 7:00 p.m., Auditorium

This is the night the MLWGS community comes together to honor the many contributions and memories of graduating seniors.  The highlight of the evening for the students is always the Senior Slide Show, and it is a great opportunity for students to get a sense of what the last four years have looked like inside MLWGS halls.   Students should arrive by 6:30 for the line-up wearing professional/business attire; caps and gowns are NOT worn for this event.

Senior Awards Assembly

Friday, June 5, 12:55 p.m., Auditorium

This assembly allows community organizations to distinguish senior recipients of scholarships/awards.   Parents will be notified in advance if their child will be recognized.

Senior Exams

Monday-Wednesday, June 8– 10

Check with your student about which exams he or she will be required to take.  All exams and any outstanding coursework need to be completed by June 10 in order for a student to walk at graduation.  Note that June 10 is also an early dismissal day.

Senior “Check Out” Forms and Senior Financial Obligations 

Due on or before Wednesday, June 10

The “check out” form will be given to students after APs are over.  Each student is responsible for collecting the required signatures and returning the form to the School Counseling Office by Wednesday, June 10.  Outstanding MLWGS obligations must be paid to Mrs. Crystal Charity in the main office prior to 3:00 p.m. on June 11.  NOTE:  All teachers’ signatures need to be obtained before going to Mrs. Charity because she takes all monies from each student for all obligations (lost or damaged book fines, etc.) and writes one receipt for him/her. 

Seniors who have unpaid financial obligations and/or who have not returned the check-out form will not be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony.  Any outstanding VCU library fines must be paid directly to the VCU library.  If the latter applies to your student, a paid receipt from the VCU library should be turned in to Mrs. Zona Hicks in the School Counseling Office to clear the account. 

Welcome, Parents of the Class of 2019!

A local power outage on Thursday, May 28, which left the MLWGS building dark and traffic snarled, wasn’t enough to deter approximately 150 excited parents of the incoming freshman class from attending the Incoming Freshman Parent Orientation.  Power was restored just in time for Dr. Jeff McGee to welcome the parents of the class of 2019 to Maggie Walker.  Peggy Feldmann, PTSA President, provided an overview of the PTSA and Booster groups, and representative from Fall Festival, Night of the Dragon, and Foundation encouraged the new Dragon parents to get involved in our community.  The evening continued with a reception in the Commons, where parents could mingle, purchase spirit wear at the Dragon’s Lair, and learn more about various activities.

This was the fourth year for this annual event, which was co-sponsored by the MLWGS PTSA and the Governor's School Foundation.

So far this year, the Foundation's Annual Fund Campaign has raised $333,611for the school. Overall current parent participation stands at 52%, and the parent participation by class is:

• Seniors: 44%
• Juniors: 48%
• Sophomores: 58%
• Freshmen: 54%
