Monday is the launching pad for Say Go College Week. There are several things you can do to ensure that the week is a big success.
Place the Say Go College Commitment Banner in a prominent location (a place where most students have access to it.) This can be the cafeteria, the hallway, or an auditorium. Encourage students to sign their names to the banner all week as a pledge to seek their path to higher learning.
Distribute the Myth Busting handout along with the Teach Sheet to your faculty.
Have the faculty wear their Say Go College buttons.
Encourage students to fan the Say Go College Fan Page on Facebook, and to register for Say Go College text messages. Students who sign up for the fan page and text messages will receive daily “Myth Busting” trivia. Plus, participating students will be automatically registered to win a cool prize!
Does your school make morning announcements on a PA system? Add a College Myth to your announcement, and start the conversation!
SayGoCollege.com is THE source for obtaining the financial resources needed to help students go to college. Make your students aware that visiting the website is designed to make getting financial assistance for college easy.
Remind students to sign up for the Say Go College Facebook fan page and check out our Twitter feed.
Designate time for homeroom faculty to discuss their own college experiences with their students. Fifteen minutes could open a lot of minds!
For the week, make SayGoCollege.com the homepage to student-access computers.
You’ve heard of “showing your school spirit.” How about showing your “future school spirit?”
Have students wear t-shirts bearing their favorite university’s logo.
Encourage students to take group photos while wearing their College Ts and upload them to the SayGoCollege.com Facebook fan page. (Team up with your Student Council officers!)

Hold a closing rally at the end of the day. Present the “Commit to Go” banner at the assembly and encourage everyone who intends to go to college to sign their name on it. Then hoist the banner high for everyone to see!
Encourage the principal and the leader to recap the lessons for the week, remind students to visit SayGoCollege.com for any additional questions and remind students to attend College Goal SundaySM.
Saturday is the day that students prepare for College Goal SundaySM, and really give some serious thought to their future.
Held in 37 locations across Arkansas, College Goal SundaySM is a one-day, statewide event created to help students learn more about higher education and to apply for financial aid for education beyond high school. (The application is called the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA.)
