October was an interesting

month for community service

activities, all of which took

place at the Community

Center of Nashville.

Students began with the 3rd

Annual Benefit Dinner for the

Community Center. JILG was

responsible for assisting with

dinner and the silent auction.Between the silent auction

and the live auction, the

students were invited to

perform with the band on

stage. This was definitely a

highlight of the evening.

The following weekend, JILG

students returned to assist the

Community Center with a

concession stand for their 1st

Annual Seniorama. They

returned the next day to work

a different concession stand

for the Lions Club and

Lighthouse Church during

their Halloween Carnival.

The last week of the month

was spent designing an

elaborate haunted house

under the direction of Rick

Harris and members of theNashville Moose. It is difficult

to tell which the students

enjoyed more: decorating the

haunted house or scaring

visitors on Halloween.

A Look Inside the Classroom

Don Hawkins Challenges Seniors toThink of Life Lessons at 2008 I & I

The only persons behavior

I can control is my own.

This quote by Eleanor

Roosevelt was used to

demonstrate an importantlife lesson our guest

speaker, Don Hawkins,

shared with JILG students

at the 2008 Initiation &

Installation Ceremony on

November 3, 2008. He also

encouraged students to

approach new situations

with a positive attitude, and

to remember that working

together as a team can

accomplish much more

than ignoring the value of

others helping make

something successful.

On behalf of the members

of the Nashville Chapter of

the Illinois Career

Association, I would like to

extend my thanks to all

parents, family, and friends

who attended our ceremony

and shared this learning

experience with my

students. Your support is a

key component to theirsuccess.

and health care, as well

as what they could do

with a Bachelors ofApplied Sciences.

Students finished out the

month choosing a career

they researched for the

focus of their My Job

project, and creating a

corresponding

presentation. Students

will deliver these

presentations in class

during the second week

of November. See

Reporter Holly

Weatherss article aboutthe My Job project on

page 3 for more

information.

In October, students had

the opportunity to

compare three colleges

and three careers inwhich they may be

interested. In connection

with this research,

students listened to three

guest speakers discuss

the opportunities

knowledge from going

forward. Ignorance is

never better than

knowledge.

JILG students have been researching careers.

Each student was to choose a job that he or she

are interested in pursuing in the future and create

a PowerPoint presentation about it. Students will

talk about why they chose the job, as well as

details about the particular occupation.

Requirements of the job, the good and bad things

about the job, workplace safety, social skills, and

adaptability skills needed for the job are all

components of the students presentations. The

students are also to discuss whether they plan to

advance in this job and what the next step would

be to pursue this occupation. At the end of the

presentation, the students are to recommend the

job to others, or decide not to and explain why.

By the end of all of the research done by the

students, they may not recommend the job to you;

they may change their minds about taking on this

job in the future.

This project really helps students in deciding what

to do in the future, including what to choose as a

major for college and where to go to get that

education. Researching careers in class helps

students figure out what they are interested in and

what kinds of jobs are out there. Its awesome when

students can research future plans in school because

many may not have time outside of school due to

extra-curricular activities or after-school jobs. JILGis a great class to prep seniors for the future, no

matter what they want to do.
