Daily Bulletin #29 Thursday, September 3, 2009


Congratulations! To KRISTINE NGUYEN, Hilltop’s Lancer of the Day!

STUDENT SECTION

SCHOOL WISDOM OF THE DAY: At the beginning of a major test skim over all of the questions; pick up points quickly by answering the easy ones first; spend more time on the tough questions as time permits. (Radford)

STUDENTS 9 - 12: If you are in the top 5% of your class and are seriously interested in the field of medicine. The National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine may be for you. It is a 10 day program in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, LA, Philadelphia, San Francisco or Washington DC. This will cost you well over $2000, but scholarships are available and you can fundraise. See Ms. Gerlack in the Counseling Center. (Gerlack)

STUDENTS 9 - 12: Scholarship opportunity. A great opportunity if you are exceptional in performing and/or visual arts. October 1st is the deadline for performing arts which includes non-classical voice, classical voice, non-classical dance, ballet, jazz instrumental and classical instrumental. The deadline for visual arts is December 1st. This is for those talented in photography and two dimensional art. The Scholarship is called Spotlight Awards. See Ms. Gerlack in the Counseling Center if you have any questions. (Gerlack)

ATTENTION ALL GRADES: If you have put in serious hours of community service, then the 2010 Prudential Spirit of community Awards may be a scholarship you want to apply to. Winners receive a $1000 scholarship and a trip to Washington DC. Info in the Counseling Center. (Gerlack)

STUDENTS: Regarding the Columbus Day Celebration Essay Contest, Ms. Gerlack, can sign the sponsoring organization and president’s signature. See her in the counseling Center. (Gerlack)

FACULTY

TIDBIT OF THE DAY: Remember that the physical arrangement of your classroom may have a direct impact upon student behavior. Arrange desks so that students can see both you and the chalkboard easily and will not be distracted. Avoid bottleneck traffic patterns in which students may physically converge by placing supplies in easily accessible areas. Be sure you can see students at all time so that you can monitor them effectively. Seat problem student’s in front, by you. (Radford)

FACULTY & STAFF: Faculty ID cards are now available in the library. If you need a new card, please stop by the librry, it only takes a few minutes. (Ms. R.)










FACULTY: Please excuse the Varsity and Junior Varsity Field Hockey team at 11:15 today, Thursday, September 3rd for their games at Poway. Thanks so much! (Garcia)

TEACHERS: If anyone would like Sandra Wilhoit (wonderful retired teacher of HTH) to sub for you when needed, do not call the district, but instead call her direct if you would like for her to sub for you. If you do not have her number, come see me in the main office. (Joey)

REMINDER TO ALL 10TH GRADE ENGLISH TEACHERS: The counselors will be coming to your classrooms on Thursday, September 10th to conduct sophomore class presentations. Please check your first class and mailbox for a copy of the schedule. Thank you. (Tara Z.)
