Hi!
My name is Mary Ann Kost, JAG Specialist for Flint Northwestern High School. JAG is an acronym for Jobs for America's Graduates, which is a grant-funded program that teaches students employability skills by hosting guest speakers, visiting college campuses, and performing community service. So far this year we have hosted so many vibrant, informative, and engaging speakers. We have also taken field trips to Saginaw Valley State University, Motown Museum, Genesee County Jail, Hurley Career Day, Goodwill Industries, Freeman Elementary, Skill Center, Barnes & Noble, For-Mar, Salvation Army and the Holocaust Museum. We plan on attending Schoolcraft College in February and Michigan State University in March.
JAG activities are student-driven. Students decide where to go and what speakers to host. They are then taught business skills to invite speakers and organize field trips.
Students have also been saving money by collecting chip wrappers and juice pouches which not only help the environment, but also earn money toward an end of the year celebration yet to be determined.
Students also organize the school-wide recycling program that includes toner cartridges, paper, plastic bottles, and cans.
It has been an exciting and busy school year. Please like us on Facebook (WildcatJAG). Thank you!
