The John Glenn School of Public Affairs High School Internship Program
This unique public service internship program allows high school students in the spring semester of their senior year to gain first-hand experience within organizations in the public service sector. As a service-learning program, students also participate in an academic seminar at Ohio State that reinforces their internship experience. Internship placement locations have included the statehouse, city council, state agencies, local government offices, non-profit organizations, and positions at Ohio State. Applicants must meet admission requirements for the Academy and submit the John Glenn School's High School Internship Program application.
For more information, visit glennschool.osu.edu.
See Mr. Koebel if you are potentially interested in this program for next year.

Body Image Awareness
Mr. Koebel will present to Psychology and Sociology classes later this week regarding body image and eating disorder issues. We are constantly bombarded with images of thin, beautiful people which can make it very difficult to maintain a healthy body image.
Some statistics to ponder:
-One in four college-aged women engages in disordered eating.
-Due to public perception, men are less likely to seek help for eating disorders.
-If Barbie were a real person, she would have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
-Most fashion models are thinner than 98% of women.
Many of the images that we see in the media are not real. They are edited, altered, or airbrushed in some way. The following "Evolution" video from Dove cleverly shows how images are altered to fit an "ideal."

Finding Kind
"Finding Kind" is an award-winning documentary that focuses on the issue of female bullying.
"In February 2009, while attending Pepperdine University, two young girls recognized a problem and decided to do something about it. Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson, both affected by female bullying, decided to create a documentary and non-profit that would ultimately change the lives of hundreds of thousands of people across America. The girls have gone on three national tours, spreading their school assembly program and documentary film in hundreds of schools and communities across the country." www.kindcampaign.com
Please click here to see a trailer for "Finding Kind": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woZTiMgWYDo
I am in the process of setting up a screening of "Finding Kind" for Newark High School. The screening will be held on a weeknight in the new student commons area. High school and middle school girls and their mothers/ guardians will be invited. More information to follow in the coming weeks!
