Who do you trust for your daily news? CNN, Fox News, NBC, CBS, The Drudge Report, Reuters, the Huffington Post? There is so much news coming in so fast and so frequently that it can feel like you can never catch up with the latest Supreme Court decision or celebrity gaffe. Knowing who to believe and how to evaluate the credibility of a given article is becoming more important than ever thanks to the influx of news sources and corporate news agencies, be it independent blogs or even the posts from the library’s blogs.

That’s why the San Antonio Public Library, in partnership with the American Library Association and the Open Society Foundations, is offering the News Know-How media literacy program this July at the Central Library.

The Library is recruiting 15 teens (grades 10 through 12) to participate in a special two-week crash course in media literacy. Teens will engage in an intensive critical evaluation of the news they see every day. The will spot misinformation and propaganda and distinguish between a reporter’s fact and opinions. In the end, as teams, they will produce their own reports, sharing what they learned with the rest of the world. The program will run for approximately 5 hours a day July 22 – August 2 at the Central Library.

Participants must commit to the full two weeks and to completing the final project. In return, teens will receive a stipend.

Interested teens should click: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JP55K2B. Applicants will be contacted with instructions about next steps.

Crystal Sea Drama Company presents

William Shakespeare’s Comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream

May 10-19, 2013

“I have had a dream, past the wit of man, to say what dream it was…”

On a midsummer night, in an enchanted forest where fairies and elves make merry and mischief beckons, uncertain love is in the air. A quartet of mismatched lovers and an inept troupe of amateur actors cross paths with the feuding King and Queen of the Fairies in the wondrous wood, resulting in a night of moonlit mirth. Love triumphs at dawn, but not before the trickster Puck has had his way with all. Shakespeare’s brilliant comedy of confusion and desire explores the inexplicable magic of falling in love, and the wonder of waking from the sweetest of dreams.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be presented at the Crystal Sea Drama Fine Arts Studio, May 10-11 and 16-17 at 7:30 p.m. Matinee performances will be presented on May 12 and 19 at 3:00 p.m. Tickets cost $10 for adults and $8 for students/seniors/SATCO/military and may be purchased at http://www.crystalseadrama.org/Tickets.html

A special 10^th Anniversary Gala will be performed May 18 at 6 p.m. Tickets for the Gala Performance must be purchased by May 8 and include a reception after the performance with desserts, a silent auction, and a special showing of a commemorative DVD. Tickets for the Anniversary Gala are $25 for an individual, $40 for a couple, and $80 for a family of 4. Prices raise by $10 on May 1. Final day for purchase is May 8. They can be purchased online at http://www.crystalseadrama.org/10thAnniversaryGala.html.

The Student Leadership Institute (SLI) at Alamo Colleges is a great opportunity for students planning to attend any of the Alamo Colleges (Palo Alto College, St. Philip’s College, San Antonio College, Northwest Vista College & Northeast Lakeview College) to become more engaged in their college education and leadership journey.

The Student Leadership Institute (SLI) Leadership Program enables students to

Identify areas of strength

Gain leadership knowledge and skills

Network with peers, professionals, and organizations

Inspire trust

Think outside the box, and

Empower others.

During the 2013-14 academic year, students will participate in a weekly leadership class, leadership labs, and campus and community service.

In the last 9 months of the program, I have heard students say that,

• SLI has provided them with “the opportunity to participate in life changing events”
• The “dedication, responsibilities and commitment in SLI prepares me for my classes”
• SLI has really “prepped me for the real world”
• SLI is intentional, motivational, professional, and “pushes students to the next level”.

Upon completion of the program, the Student Leadership Institute will update the students’ academic transcripts with program recognition of which four-year institutions and employers critically review. Most important, students will increase their self-confidence, improve communication skills, build relationships, promote a positive image of the community college student, become a college ambassador, and emerge as a proactive and productive leader.

To be eligible for the Leadership Program, all applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Be enrolled in one of the Alamo Colleges (min. 6 credit hours)
• For High School Graduates: Earned a grade point average of 80 or higher
• For College Students: Earned a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 or higher)

The closing date to submit completed applications is July 31, 2013. More information is also available on the website at www.alamo.edu/district/sli. Should you or any of your parents and students have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (210) 485-0793 or kanderson89@alamo.edu.

Sincerely,

Kirsten Anderson, M.Ed.
