 CHARACTER COUNTS

 

“Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition  he or she has overcome to reach his/her goals”

WORD OF THE DAY

 

inculcate \in-KUHL-kayt; IN-kuhl-kayt\ , verb

 

 To teach and impress by frequent repetition or instruction

 

It is difficult, if not impossible, to inculcate in those who do not want to know, the curiosity to know; I think it is also impossible to kill this need in those who really want to know.

-- T. V. Rajan, "The Aha! Factor", The Scientist, March 21, 2002

Please make wise choices when getting your meals.

 

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BOOSTING YOUR COLLEGE AND CAREER RESUME?  Consider being an AVID Tutor in the AVID Elective Class. This course would allow for juniors and seniors with exceptional GPA’s and enrollment in AP/Honors classes tutor in the AVID class for a grade. It is not a student service; it’s much better! Students are trained in AVID strategies and participate as an active tutor in the elective classes. Ideally, you could “fluff” your college applications and resumes to include tutoring and community service! It’s a win-win-win situation. See Mrs. Hilstein in Room Q-1715 if you are interested.

 

MONDAY’S BREAKFAST MENU:  PB & J Water or Assorted Cereal or Cereal Bar with String Cheese and choice of: Fruit Juice or Canned or Fresh Fruit and/or Milk Variety.
