As all of you know by now, there is a new addition to the DaVid-Jacobs family!
Mr. Josiah DaVid-Jacobs was born a little early on December 1st weighing 5.0 pounds. They are both doing great!
Ms. Ayana will not be back until the first of February. So students, keep up the good work for her and seniors keep applying to college!
She wishes you and your families a Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
Also, "Thank You" to all of those who participated in the surprise baby shower!
What if instead of a paper with an "A" written on the top, your teacher handed you $103,800 in cash. Be a pretty good Christmas gift right? Wishful thinking right?
Actually, no. Because that A on your paper is actually worth..... $103,800 to University of Alabama

Your grades are potentially worth hundreds of thousands of dollars (http://student-tutor.com/blog/top-10-merit-scholarship-schools/) in money toward college.....and the best part about it? You don't need to have a 4.0 GPA.
In fact even an 11th grade student with a 2.6 GPA still has hope! Learn how to calculate and improve your High School GPA. Work hard for those "A's" just look what they are worth! Give yourself the best Christmas present ever that will last you a lifetime.
