Alumni - Help with Project Citizen!
Our 8th graders are almost midway through their Project Citizen experience, deep into their research and interviews. Many students could use help identifying people to interview for their topics, and that's where they need your help!
Please review the topics below, and email Head of Middle School Tim Moore at tmoore@sasaustin.org if you're able to help, provide connections or resources for our students!
The culmination of this project is the Civics Fair in Dell Hall on April 28th!
