Welcome GFPS Career and Character Education Department

There is a new blog on AreaVoices you should check out, especially if you have students in Grand Forks Public Schools. The blog is called “4MyFuture” and is produced by the Grand Forks Public Schools Career and Character Education department.

“4MyFuture” is a blog devoted to the providing of Career and Character Education for all stages of a student’s life – elementary school, middle school, high school, and post secondary options. The authors of the content posted on the blog are staff of the Career Education and Character Education departments of the Grand Forks Public Schools. They intend to use the site to enhance existing programs by providing information to students, parents, community members, and other interested parties on a variety of topics under the umbrella of Career and Character Education.

Whether the individual posts are career-related articles, character reminders, research-based studies, upcoming activities, or department news and reminders, they hope that the “4MyFuture” content provides readers the foundation to take ownership in their career and character decisions throughout their educational and personal life.

One year of blogging

Today is the one year anniversary of this blog!  I can’t believe an entire year has gone by already. 

I hope you are finding NIE Rocks a useful resource. I try to post items I think teachers and parents would be interested in.  I also post activities that show how the newspaper can be used as a teaching tool. I invite you to check out the variety of postings and material from the last year in the archives section. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks for reading NIE Rocks!
