SUHi Monday Monday: Do You Need Money For College?

 


Attention seniors!

Do you need money for college?

It is important that you submit your FAFSA/CaDAA to increase your chances of receiving the financial aid you are eligible for.

What is the difference between the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the California Dream Act Application (CaDAA):

The first step for all students, parents, and legal guardians applying through the FAFSA will be to register for a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID.

We encourage students and their contributors (parents) to create an FSA ID as early as possible to be ready for the December opening of the FAFSA and CaDAA.

Counselors will call you out on SUHi Money Mondays in Novmeber to help with your FSA ID.

Remember, if you do not have a SSN, it’s OK! You are still eligible for financial aid.

SUHi Wellness Message: October 2023


Be present.

Welcome back students. It’s time to re-focus and get back into the swing of things. Sometimes we are focused on our problems, what happened last week. But it's important to learn to enjoy where you are today, while you are on your way to where you're going. 

Life is not always about the destination; it's about the journey, with all the bumps in the road, the disappointments, the things you don't understand. Too often we rush through the day, trying to force our way through the challenges and setbacks. 

It's important to slow down and enjoy the journey. Focus on what you need to be doing now, maybe it's homework, maybe it's chores. Take it one day at a time and stay in the present.

Be Well Red Devils!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR BEAUTIFY CHULA VISTA DAY

Organizers seek 300 volunteers for two Chula Vista sites 

The City of Chula Vista and the South Bay Sustainable Communities Network are calling for volunteers to register for the 20th annual Beautify Chula Vista Day neighborhood cleanup on Saturday, October 21. 

The event will be held from 8:30 a.m. to noon, and volunteers can choose from two Chula Vista locations to participate in beautification activities: Chula Vista Animal Care Facility - 130 Beyer Way, Chula Vista, CA 91911 Memorial Bowl at Memorial Park - 373 Park Way, Chula Vista, CA 91910 

 Volunteers will help remove graffiti and clean up litter from streets, parks, and neighborhoods. Approximately 300 volunteers are needed to make a lasting impact.

 Participants must provide their own transportation, and are advised to wear appropriate clothing and shoes, bring work gloves, a refillable water bottle and snacks or lunch. This is a great opportunity for students to earn community service hours and for residents to get involved by lending a helping hand in their community. 

 All volunteers must register prior to the event. For details and registration for individuals or groups, please visit www.BeautifyChulaVista.org. For registration questions, please contact the City’s Environmental Services Division at environmentalservices@chulavistaca.gov or (619) 691-5122.
