Bonner Springs High School

Welcome Class of 2014!

Dear Class of 2014--

I've really enjoyed meeting many of you over the past few weeks and listening to all the great ideas you have for your senior projects--remember, "The sky is the limit!" If you haven't decided on a project yet, just remember to make it something you are passionate about and/or something that would give you a chance to explore a future career path--start networking now!

If you're still struggling with an idea, please open the "Project Idea Websites" document below for valuable information on possible projects and volunteering websites.

Don't forget if you want to start your project over the summer, I need a completed Form 1 in my "Projects Box" before I leave for the summer next Friday, May 24th! If you are running into problems please email me or stop by and see me ASAP!

Good luck and I can't wait to see the great projects the Class of 2014 has to offer!

Mrs. Baker

P.S. I've also downloaded a few clips from a few senior project presentations from years past. The first two you will actually see parts of the actual presentation and the last one you can see the actual PowerPoint used by a student during her presentation. Hope they are helpful!

2. Great Plains SPCA Shelter: I am just writing to let you know the need for volunteers at the Great Plains SPCA shelter in

Merriam, KS. This might be a senior project idea for an upcoming senior who loves animals or plans to go into the vet. field. There are just so many directions that one could go with something like this. They could even build marketing, communication, and customer service skills. They could hold donation drives, adoption events and help out at the shelter.
