A junior is putting together a pamphlet geared toward freshmen and their parents to inform them of opportunities at Palo Alto High School.

“It’s going to be a compilation of a bunch of different opportunities at Paly that freshmen don’t always know about,” said Kenny Vi, the student behind the project. “I’m targeting freshman parents. Currently, the freshmen parents don’t know much about what Paly has to offer, and Paly has so much to offer.”

Vi plans to include information about opportunities such as the California Scholarship Federation.

“It’s a source of scholarship money for a lot of students,” Vi says.  “A lot of students could get scholarship money for college, but they don’t do it because they don’t know about this organization.”

Vi hopes to mail the Freshman Guide to all incoming freshmen this fall.

“I’m hoping it will provide a connection between the opportunities that Paly has to offer and the students at Paly,” Vi says.  “I want to make sure that every student [has] what they need.”
