Help Needed for Interview Project at the High School, Tuesday, April 9th
The project will give all of Mr. Baker's Personal Finance students the chance to participate in a realistic job interview experience. Ideal helpers would be actual employers who might be interested in hiring some high schoolers for real jobs and/or internship opportunities right now, or maybe this summer; but any adult with interviewing experience or just the free time to help us would be appreciated! The project will take place from roughly 8:45 am through 12:10 pm on April 9th. Any adults in the Voyager Family who would be willing and able to help with this Interview Project, please contact Mr. Baker at dbaker@voyageracademy.net.

Voyager Chorus earns SUPERIOR & EXCELLENT ratings at MPA's!
For the first time EVER Bull City Lights earned a SUPERIOR rating in BOTH Performance & Sight reading at this year's MPA Large Choral Festival on Wednesday, March 13th (this is the first time they've earned this accomplishment for Concert Choir!)
AND>>>>>Vocal Affinity earned an EXCELLENT rating in both categories as well. SHOUT OUT to the Tenors of Vocal Affinity---the weird/unexpected thing happened where the music fell off the piano during our performance---& they just kept going & sounded AMAZING! And...during the sight reading portion--they earned a SUPERIOR score for the rhythmic section! WAY TO GO Vocal Affinity!
