00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.250
And we are the Co of the Whitesboro

00:00:13.125 --> 00:00:16.875
As advisors, we are committed
to helping high achieving students

7
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.000
excel with their grades,
their community service, their dedication

8
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.500
to after school activities, and serving
as a role model for our community.

9
00:00:25.875 --> 00:00:28.500
This club is only open
to eighth grade students,

10
00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:33.000
with a minimum overall grade point
average of 93%.

11
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.125
Students will be notified
during the summer between

12
00:00:36.125 --> 00:00:39.125
seventh and eighth grade
if you are eligible.

13
00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:42.500
The application process
has four requirements.

14
00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:46.750
The first being academically eligible,
as previously mentioned,

15
00:00:46.875 --> 00:00:50.125
in order to determine
if you are eligible in eighth grade,

16
00:00:50.125 --> 00:00:53.750
we calculate your overall grade point
average by averaging grades

17
00:00:53.750 --> 00:00:58.375
from the last two quarters of sixth grade,
and all four quarters of seventh

18
00:00:58.375 --> 00:01:02.125
grade students
need to demonstrate proof of involvement

19
00:01:02.125 --> 00:01:07.125
for a minimum of two in-school activities
between sixth and seventh grade.

37
00:02:08.750 --> 00:02:12.000

in good standing.

38
00:02:12.250 --> 00:02:15.875
