One-time K-12 outreach - Merit Certificates presenters

Dear SWE Boston Members,

Requests continue to come in for a SWE representative to present Merit Certificates at schools in our area. We are looking for volunteers to present Merit Certificates to several schools. The award recipients have already been selected and certificates have been received by the schools.
North of Boston (Rte. 95/128)

BISHOP FENWICK HIGH SCHOOL
99 Margin Street
Peabody, MA 01960
Date: Thursday, June 11th
Time: 7:00 pm

DANVERS HIGH SCHOOL
60 Cabot Road
Danvers, MA 01923
Date: Thursday, June 4th
Time: 7:00 pm


New Hampshire

ALVIRNE HIGH SCHOOL
200 Derry Road
Hudson, NH 03051
Date: Thursday, May 21st
Time: 6:30 pm

MANCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL WEST
9 Notre Dame Avenue
Manchester, NH 03102
Date: Thursday, May 21st
Time: 8:15 AM

This one-time task typically takes only an hour or two (at absolute most!) of your time. The actual presenting takes about 5 minutes (maximum) and generally presenters are present for the entire awards ceremony, plus your travel time to and from the school. We can provide you with a detailed (but short!) script if you are unsure what to say.

The award recipients are typically students who have excelled in math and/or science and receiving an award from SWE is almost always the first exposure to SWE, and perhaps to engineering, the students have had. These students may very well be our next generation of SWE members! Having an actual SWE member present the award is greatly appreciated by the school's faculty.

Please email Darcie Giard (merit@sweboston.org), if you are interested or have any questions.

Stay tuned for more requests as we receive them from the schools this spring!
