In today's news, China completed its first successful journey to another planet in our solar system. Tianwen-1, whose name means "quest for heavenly truth," is in orbit around mars after about a seven month journey in space. The China National Space Administration said it will gather important information about Mars' geological structure, atmosphere, environment and soil, and search for any signs of water. The spacecraft is expected to land on the planet's surface in May or June. This makes China the sixth country in history to reach mars.

Now back to the main desk

-------------------------

This important announcement is for any senior whose prospective college requires a mid-year transcript.  While the majority of colleges do not require these, you should double check to see if your school needs an updated transcript.  If so, login to Naviance to request one ASAP.  There are very specific instructions on how to request this on the opening screen in Naviance.  You will also find these instructions in Schoology updates.

If you have any questions, stop by the counseling office to check with Mrs. Ditzler.

Have a great day Ephrata!
