- Today and Tomorrow (Mon. 22nd & Tues. 23rd) the WASC team is visiting our school... if we get a good report it'll be another 6 years until they come again!
- Had a thorough campus clean up last Friday to prepare.
- BRAVO continues... down to 12 players now with the new rule of having the spoon also touching somewhere on your face. The prize: a couples prom ticket; everyone will want to go to prom with the winner!
- Pennies for Patients: about a dozen ASB members dyed our hair orange and silver sparkley last Wednesday to celebrate the school having raised $170 for Pennies for Patients. Adding in the money from businesses in town who agreed to match whatever we made, we have a final tally of nearly $350!
- The local scholarship application for seniors is due this Friday, March 26th.
- On Thursday the 25th our whole school is going to the Fort Bragg school's "Career Day" at which each student will attend three workshops of their choice and a free lunch... it ends at 1:30.

President's Week!
Coming to the end of another break! Here's what's happening at school when we get back:
- $500: six ASB members have volunteered to have their heads shaved - one name will be drawn out of a hat and that person will be shaved at an assembly in front of the school. The person who donates the most money at the time of the assembly will be granted the gift of being the one to do the shaving - it's an auction!
- $750: all six of the ASB volunteers will have their heads shaved in the abovementioned fashion.
- $1,000: volunteer teachers will be duct-taped to a wall and pied in the same auctioning manner at an assembly.
* It will not take as much effort as it seems because a couple of businesses in the community have agreed to match anything we earn: if we raise $100, they'll donate $100 and this all counts towards the hair-dying/head-shaving/teacher-pieing!
- BRAVO continues... many people have been tagged out already. Remember: as the number of people left is narrowed down, the rules will change so that eliminations can be made more easily... your spoon may no longer keep you safe! Any new rules will be hung in the hallway.
- AE Week Ashland trip fundraiser: selling tickets for MTC's Deathtrap. If you're interested in buying tickets, talk to anyone going on the Ashland trip or see Amanda Gray, Doug Nunn or Tom Sosnovec.
- Blood-drive March 4th - sign up and get information about it in the office. Must be at least 16.
- PENNIES FOR PATIENTS: Boxes are in every advisory. This year, we're supporting Natalie, a 7-year-old girl from Napa who has leukemia. Drop any loose change into them! To raise excitement for Pennies for Patients, rewards are the following:
- $500: six ASB members have volunteered to have their heads shaved - one name will be drawn out of a hat and that person will be shaved at an assembly in front of the school. The person who donates the most money at the time of the assembly will be granted the gift of being the one to do the shaving - it's an auction!

- There will be a WINTER GAMES RALLY this coming Friday, February 26th, in the gym during the last 30 mins. of advisory... each game will be a competition between classes!
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
FEBRUARY!
- ASB is has organized the game BRAVO to be played this year again. It can best be described as a game of tag using spoons as the tagging instruments, where each person is "it," and each "it" has a particular target. When a person is tagged, they must then give their target to the person who tagged them - targets are inherited.
- Sign up by the end of the day tomorrow (Wednesday, Feb. 3rd) and we'll hand out target assignments to each player during advisory on Friday. The game with begin on Monday (Feb. 8th). Fun fun fun!
- This year, no witnesses are required and the rules will be changed after a few weeks to more quickly eliminate participants.
- Sign up for spring sports in the office: tennis, baseball, softball, track, golf, lacrosse, club volleyball.
- Winter Bash went great - should be kept as a tradition every year!
- Come to the fantastic Improv shows next week from 7-9 p.m. next Wednesday (Feb. 10th) and Thursday (Feb. 11th).

- Improv has started: Tues. and Thurs. after school until 5:30.

- The sophomore class is also planning a Winter Ball for the high school... hopefully during winter?

Should be snowing!
If it's going to be this cold it really should at least snow! 'Twas hailing this morning though, which is fun.
CANNED FOOD DRIVE class competition (between each grade) going on right now. Finishing the Friday before winter break... put cans in the box in your adviser's classroom. Pizza party as prize!
Just one more week of school until winter break... Christmas is my favorite holiday - it can't be postponed or put off for the year like birthdays can! I just like it because of the lovely spirit of everything and the cheery elevator music.
There will be a winter ball this year, put on by the sophomore class - yeah! The date is still being decided.
Look for the SONAR class's article in the newspaper (Beacon, Advocate, one in Crescent City/one in Humboldt) publicizing their participation as an initiative group in the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) process. We'll be crafting & submitting a map of the northcoast region of California, dividing it into many different areas that we think should be made into 'marine protected areas' to protect our marine ecosystem. We're in contact with the Sierra Club, Del Norte & Humboldt county representatives, and others so that we can share data and create the best possible array. This is an important environmental step for the state and the world, so that the SONAR class is its own group, helping to make it happen, is incredible!

New Emerging Band
Although I cannot remember their name, their music is memorable. Over AE week Marshall Brown, Vincent Longo, Tim Johnson, and Bing York came together to create a symphony of sounds which later filled the room at senior project night in the community school. Although only recently formed, their music is lively and fresh, and served to finish the night leaving everyone in jubilant spirits. They are now selling a demo CD and will soon be selling a CD of finished pieces. Contact Marshall Brown if interested. Maybe a community school dance is in order? This band would be the perfect accompaniment.
Senior Project Night at the Community School
A diverse array of projects filled the room last wednesday for the community schools' senior project night. There was singing, guitar playing, two stellar photography displays, a handcrafted wooden bench, acting displays, technological feats and much more.
PROM!!!
The junior class pulled off the event wonderfully. The theme of Alice in Wonderland encompassed the event. Prom was held at the Mendocino Middle School Gym which was miraculously transformed to look like the house of cards.
