After school in the
High School Cafeteria
Thursday, October 23, 2008
The Post-secondary Office Employee of the Year Nominee is Ms. Bernice Daza. We congratulate Ms. Daza and thank her for being an excellent employee!
Students our Annual United Way Campaign has begun. Please remember to bring your donation every EVEN DAY to your 2nd Period HOMEROOM. Teachers submit your class’s collection envelope to the Activities Office by 10AM.
Additionally Penny Wars will be taking place between Classes and Academies during both lunches!
Rules of the Penny War
The GOAL of the Penny War is to collect as many PENNIES as possible in your jar and put as many NON-PENNIES in everyone else’s jar.
Each team has its own container. Money is worth “points” based on its monetary value.
| Pennies = 1 point Nickels = 5 points Dimes = 10 points Quarters = 25 points |
1 Dollar = 100 points 5 Dollars = 500 points 10 Dollars = 1,000 points 20 Dollars = 2,000 points |
Pennies give your team positive points while nickels, dimes, quarters, and any dollar bills take points AWAY from the team’s total. Therefore, you want to put PENNIES in YOUR TEAM’S jar (positive points) & nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollar bills (negative points) in the jars of OTHER TEAMS.
Whichever Class/Academy has THE MOST POINTS at the end of the Penny Drive, wins!!
TODAY IS CLASS WARS!!!! Bring your donation to lunch!
Practices for the Hispanic Show are taking place in the auditorium everyday from Monday through Thursday. Dress Rehearsals are Monday 10-27 and Tuesday 10-28, all must attend to the Dress Rehearsals if you want to be in the show. We still need some of the music from some of the acts. Bring it right away to room F-207.
Faculty and Staff Hispanic Luncheon will take place during both lunches on Monday 10-27, tickets are only $10.00, come and celebrate with us. We need your participation. Buy tickets today.
The Miami Dolphins have partnered with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools to offer select tickets to Miami Dolphin games (Tickets to the Raiders are still available.). The proceeds of these sales will go towards supporting Student Activities at Miami Lakes Educational Center. Tickets are only $20. (Regular face value $52) This is a substantial savings!!! Help support MLEC and the Miami Dolphins!!! Stop by the Student Activities Office for more information! RAIDERS’ tickets will only be sold through October 30th!!!
HARVEST FEST IS TONIGHT DON”T BE LEFT OUT!!!
Students are reminded to come to school each day on time! Students if you are absent, remember that 5 unexcused absences in an annual course, or 3 unexcused absences in a semester course, will result in a no credit (N/C) for the class. Remember if you are absent you MUST bring a note and receive an admit to excuse your absence. DO NOT GIVE YOUR NOTE TO YOUR HOMEROOM TEACHER. Admits are issued in the Student Services Office prior to the start of school each day and during lunch and after school in the Main Office with Ms. Cheron. Do not be absent unnecessarily.
Students arriving tardy to school must sign in at the Tardy Center in the C Cafeteria. Students with excessive tardies will be required to serve an Administrative Detention. BE ON TIME!!! AND COME TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY!!! If you have any questions regarding attendance please speak to Mrs. Forteza in the Student Services Office.
The Principal’s Word of the Day is
DISPARATE (DIS pur it) adj. different; incompatible; unequal
Our interests were disparate: Cathy liked to play with dolls and I liked to throw her dolls out the window.
