TN Promise Team Meetings for Homeschoolers

by Leave a Comment

If your high school, graduating senior applied for the TN Promise scholarship, it is time for them to attend the required spring team meeting.

Hopefully, they already attended the fall meeting that was held in their county in 2018. All applicants are required to attend both team meetings (fall and spring) to remain eligible for the scholarship. You must attend the team meeting that is held in the county where you live and homeschool.

You do not need to register to attend the team meeting, but must attend. If not you are unable to attend the meeting, read here to learn what excuses will be accepted for missing a team meeting.

Tips:
1) Sign your name on the sign in sheet when you arrive and confirm your name is on the correct sheet before you leave. If your name is not on the roster, you will not receive credit for attending the meeting.

2) Bring a pen/pencil and notepad for taking notes.

3) Come with any questions you have regarding the TN Promise scholarship, community service hours, etc.

4) Parents should attend the team meeting with their student, so they can ask questions and know what is going on.

5) If your child has already started earning community service hours (eight required), you may start logging those hours. Service hours must be completed and submitted for the fall 2019 school year by Monday, July 1.

All meetings occur during Central Standard Time unless otherwise noted.

Become an Archaeologist and more at CH Nash Museum at Chucalissa

by Leave a Comment

Chucalissa

At the C.H. Nash Museum at Chucalissa, you can be an archaeologist for a day without having served time in the field or received a degree. On the third Saturday of every month, the community is invited to come to the museum, roll up their sleeves and volunteer. There are prehistoric artifacts from excavation sites in Tennessee that need processing, the trail and gardens that need landscaping along with other tasks that help the park continue to be inviting for the many visitors who come through daily. With the warmer weather on its way, you can get outdoors and be productive.

Students may earn volunteer hours for school, towards scholarships, like the TN Promise, as well as for future college applications. The day begins at 9 a.m. and finishes at 1 p.m. You may lend your hand and give your time for one, two, three or all four hours. There is no experience required and children are welcome to attend with adult supervision. That makes it a great opportunity to do something together as a family. Call (901) 785-3160 for more information.
