After school in the
High School Cafeteria
Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Jaguars each day during Homeroom, we will conduct our collection for Haitian Relief. Additionally, each morning and afternoon in the loop (pick-up and drop-off areas) donations will be accepted. Stay tuned to further announcements regarding what you can do to support Haiti Relief.
Our annual 15 minutes of fame show will be held on Friday January 29th at 7:00 PM in the auditorium. Tickets will be sold starting January 19th through January 29th in the principal’s patio area during both lunches and before and after school in Mr. Oxidine’s room F123. Ticket prices are 5 dollars. Be sure not to miss out on the best talent show case of the year.
Tonight, the Town of Miami Lakes will host the Peer Review Court at 6PM, right here at MLEC. This is an opportunity for students to become involved in the Peer Review Court and also serve as mentors. If you would like to learn how you can earn additional community service hours Ms. Castro in the Student Activities Office
Today, we will be talking with you about the core value of integrity. Integrity is something that you show every time that you stand up for your beliefs about what is right and what is wrong. Many times, you are faced with choosing between doing what you know to be the right thing to do and being pressured by others to do the wrong thing.
For example, sometimes your friends and peers may try to get you to do something that you know in your heart is the wrong thing to do. They may ask you to cheat, break rules or pressure you to hurt another student's feelings.
When this happens, you need to remember two very important things:
First, your real friends would never ask you to do anything that could get you in trouble. Real friends do not want you to get in trouble.
Second, even when it is not the most popular thing to do, you always need to stand up for what is right and show integrity.
Showing integrity at school can prevent a lot problems. Strive to be a person of integrity and be proud of yourself each day. Make decisions that show that you are a leader that cannot be pressured to do the wrong thing.
When all students do the right thing no matter what, always showing integrity in their actions, our school will be a safe and better place to learn.
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. MLEC is in a block schedule, therefore 5 unexcused absences in an annual course WILL result in 10 unexcused absences and WILL result in a no credit being issued, and 3 unexcused absences in a semester course will equal six absences and also result in a no credit. Remember if you are absent you MUST bring a note and receive an admit to excuse your absence. 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. Wellman. Do not be absent unnecessarily.
Students arriving tardy to school must sign in at the Tardy Center. Students with excessive tardies will be required to serve an Administrative Detention. BE ON TIME!!! AND COME TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY!!!
The Principal’s Word of the Day is
UTILITARIAN ( yoo TIL i TAIR ee un) adj stressing usefulness or utility above all other qualities; pragmatic Jason’s interior-decorating philosophy was strictly utilitarian; if an object wasn’t genuinely useful, he didn’t want it in his home.
