Grant provides clubs with funds to sponsor special projects
May 3, 2013
Richard Slivoskey wanted to give back to Jefferson after his 22 years of working as eighth period director, so in 2007, the Richard Slivoskey Eighth Period Grant was established.
Created to encourage clubs to give back to the school, the $1,000 grant is awarded each year to a club with an idea for a project that will enhance the school community. Last year, the grant was presented to the Consulting Club.
“The Slivoskey Grant is a great opportunity for clubs to get the chance to pursue projects they would normally not have the funds to sponsor,” senior Sam Hoegle said.
Clubs interested in applying must submit an application and present their idea to the Student Government Association (SGA), which will, along with Mr. Slivoskey, vote on the winner. Applications are due May 10.

Each subject would freely explore in the simulation before moving on to a scavenger hunt, where they were told to find objects. “Our two environments are nature and urban scenarios. [In] our nature environment, people were definitely more attentive in the goal directed trial level,” Liu said. “But in the urban [environment], it seems that people were attentive both ways.”](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/image2-e1683047303790-475x267.png)
