UPCOMING EVENTS:

This Month’s Challenge:  Be Thoughtful
During February, turn in to the office a page to describe your experience. Write about ways you practiced the ABC YESS System. Describe the situation. What attitude did you chose and why? Describe your behavior. Did you behave differently than you normally do? Describe the results of your choices.  How did it impact your character and/or others around you? Include any other thoughts to help describe your experience.

Remember the ABCs of the YESS System:
ABC BeAttitude
You choose your…Attitude.
You choose your…Behavior.
You reap the results in Celebration or Consequence.
Your Choices build your Character.

We are wearing hats to create awareness about children undergoing chemotherapy and related issues like hair loss, illness, and missing school. Please see the story of Kevin Beffa and how HAT'S ON DAY was started by his classmates at www.childrenwithcancer.org.

A donation of $3.00 to your homeroom teacher will reserve a hat and the privilege of wearing the hat on Hats on Day.  The entire $3.00 donation will go to the Foundation for Children with Cancer (FCC).
Students will receive their hats in homeroom on Thursday (2/19) morning.  Hats may be worn all day in class and to chapel, but please remove hat during prayer time.  Students must follow their teacher's request regarding position of the hat on their head in the classroom.

CHANGE WAR:     Tuesday (2/17) through Thursday (2/19) during lunch: 
Students may make additional donation(s) to the FCC by dropping coins, dollars to a maximum of a $5.00 bill at one time into their homeroom container located outside the MPR during lunch.  Points will be accumulated. 
***  $0.25 = 25 points        $1.00 = 200 points        $5.00 = 1500 points ***
The homeroom that collects the most donations will be rewarded with a pizza and ice cream party.
2nd place will choose pizza OR ice cream party.

We Thank You so much for your compassion and giving spirit!!

From Athletic Director, Mr. Oshiro:
1.  All Winter Sport Athletes:  Once your season is completed, please launder, bag and label your school issued uniforms and return to the athletic office. 

2.  All Students:  If you're interested in a spring sport, please take note of the REVISED try out information posted around campus and online on the athletics page of the school website.  Please come to the athletic office if you have any questions.

3.  All Students:  Just a reminder that there is no bus transportation for athletics on early release days.  Tuesday, February 17th is an early release day with all of you getting out of school around 1:45 PM.  Please plan accordingly. 

4.  All Students Age 16 and Older:  The athletic department is looking for a few students to work as ILH scorers and timers for the upcoming spring boys volleyball season.  The pay is $10.00 per match.  We prefer that you have some previous scorekeeping experience with USAV or ILH volleyball, but it's not necessary.  If you're interested and consider yourself responsible, conscientious and reliable, please come see me or Coach Keith in the athletic office. 
Thanks, Mr. Oshiro
