• Hoops for Heart Facts of the Day:

  • When you go for a checkup, your doctor uses a stethoscope to listen carefully to your heart. A healthy heart makes a lub-dub sound with each beat. This sound comes from the valves shutting on the blood inside the heart.

  • Even though your heart is inside you, there is a cool way to know it's working from the outside. It's your pulse. You can find your pulse by lightly pressing on the skin anywhere there's a large artery running just beneath your skin. Two good places to find it are on the side of your neck and the inside of your wrist, just below the thumb.

• Staff and students! We will be meeting out on the soccer fields to spell out # DRUG FREE during home room today.  Find your home room number posted on the field and fill in the white lines. Mr Ebanez will be using the drone to take our picture. Smile at the drone! Thank you for all your cooperation on this project. Brought to you by the TUPE Team!

• Hoops for Heart Facts of the Day:

  • You probably guessed that the blood just doesn't slosh around your body once it leaves the heart. It moves through many tubes called arteries and veins, which together are called blood vessels.

  • The movement of the blood through the heart and around the body is called circulation, and your heart is really good at it — it takes less than 60 seconds to pump blood to every cell in your body.

• Attention 8th graders:  If you are interested in trying out for the American High School Cheer team please look for the cheerleaders during lunch today.  They will be here passing out Tryout Packets and answering questions.

• Women’s History Month in the United States grew out of a weeklong celebration of women’s contributions to culture, history and society organized by the school district of Sonoma, California in 1978. Presentations were given at dozens of schools, hundreds of students participated in a “Real Woman” essay contest and a parade was held in downtown Santa Rosa.

A few years later, the idea had caught on within communities, school districts and organizations across the country. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first presidential proclamation declaring the week of March 8 as National Women’s History Week. The U.S. Congress followed suit the next year, passing a resolution establishing a national celebration. Six years later, the National Women’s History Project successfully petitioned Congress to expand the event to the entire month of March.

• Students, Every year there seems to be a new "Game" out there and sometimes the "games" are just old ones that resurface.  We want you to know that just because you call something a game doesn't mean it's OKAY.  So, if you are touching someone, hitting, taking possessions, playing a dare or a prank or anything remotely close to any of these things, be very clear:  it's not OK and it is will be addressed with a consequence.  And while we're at it, saying "it's OK, he's my friend!" is no excuse either. 

• Theatre Club: Officer applications are due tomorrow.  Please return them to the business office.  Theatre Club Meeting Thursday at lunch in Ms. Sousa’s Room 11A.  New and returning members are welcome.
