Spirit Week this Week:
Average Joe’s - Robotics News:
Average Joes Robotics and NASA: Last week Thursday, the Average Joes were one of five teams in
Michigan invited to virtually attend the viewing of the MARS Perseverance landing. Juniors Connor
Aust and Drew Kelleher represented the Joes extremely well. A panel of aerospace experts and a
representative from Senator Gary Peters' office participated, sharing their knowledge and interacting
with students. We are grateful for this Above Average opportunity for Above Average Joes!
Ren Baldwin Tech Festival:
The 2021 Ren Baldwin Student Technology Festival is now accepting entries for
projects. All project entries are due by Thursday, April 15th, and will be
showcased along with winning projects during a virtual festival event on May
7th. Please visit our festival informational website to learn more about entering.
Orchestra News:
Through the SJPS partnership with the Fischoff National Chamber Music Association we were able to
bring in (virtually) the Thalea String Quartet to work in a masterclass setting.
The Thalea String quartet is currently the Doctoral Fellowship Quartet at the University of Maryland.
One of the HS quartets performed for the Thalea quartet and received feedback and suggestions. The
other students in the class watched and are hopefully able to translate that feedback to their own
playing.

SAT Prep:
Parents and Students,
As Juniors prepare to take the national SAT on March 13, 2021 or the Michigan mandatory
SAT this April, our hope is to provide students with quality, real-time, professional SAT test
prep. We trust Dr. Scott Carlin to provide excellent, authentic, in-depth SAT preparation for
college-bound Juniors.
Therefore, We are excited to announce that Dr. Carlin's Test Prep is offering two different SAT
courses this February and March. Each Live, Webinar Series is a full SAT test rehearsal, working with students through an entire SAT test. Dr. Carlin provides strategy and content for each question and every problem in each of the four sections of the SAT. The "February" and "March" Series will each utilize a completely different set of SAT test questions for continued practice.
I cannot emphasize enough how critical it is to prepare for these exams, especially with some
colleges going "test optional." SAT test scores can, now more than ever, set your student's
college application apart from the crowd when it comes to college admission and college
academic scholarship $. Dr. Carlin has been teaching the SAT for 18 years and has taught his
courses in over 40 different high schools in MICHIGAN and INDIANA.
