Happy Holidays and New Year - winter break is over... it was lovely and town was packed: I could hardly navigate through the isles of Harvest at Mendosas! Happy 2010!
Next week is finals week, school is out at 12:30 on Friday.
Improv has started: Tues. and Thurs. after school until 5:30.
BRAVO will be happening soon - presentation assembly on Friday, Jan. 29th in the gym during advisory.
Class meetings last 20 mins. of advisory this Friday (Jan. 8th).
CSF is in the middle of planning a dance for the Middle Schoolers that should be good - lots of surprises!
The sophomore class is also planning a Winter Ball for the high school... hopefully during winter?
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!
On Friday, November 20th, senior portraits, "I will always remember" statements, and a quote was due for seniors so that they can be put in the yearbook - get them in on Monday after Thanksgiving Break if you couldn't last Friday.
November 30th: UC application deadline.
During the weeks between Thanksgiving Break and Winter Break there will be a canned food drive at school. The competition winners (by grade level) will get a free pizza party at the end of it. Students should put cans of food in designated boxes in their class advisors' rooms.
There's an FB-Mendo Interact club sponsored dance next Saturday (14th). Students from both high schools can attend. It's in the FB Dana Gray gym from 8-11. No theme. All proceeds will go towards a program that is helping to dig wells in towns in Africa.
Basketball practice for all four teams begins tomorrow (Monday the 9th).
Make sure to contact the leader(s) of the AE week trip you want to go on. Lists are filling up!
