…And now for a moment in Black History…
On this day in 1923, the first Black pro basketball team, "The Renaissance," was organized and in 1970 The New York Stock Exchange admits its first Black member, Mr. Joseph Searles.
This moment in Black history was sponsored by the Academy of Entrepreneurship’s Financial Services strand.
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
AL FRESCO (al FRES koh) adj [Italian –“in the fresh”] outside; in the fresh air
An al fresco meal is a picnic.
