Morning Announcements April 28th

On April 30th the YWCA is sponsoring a "Stand Against Racism" program on Gray Street in downtown Elmira. The beginning time is 4:30 with closing remarks at 7:00. Food and beverages will be available. There will be proclamations, testimonials, action statements, HipHop, R&B, choirs, and other perfomances. A symbolic brick wall of racism will be torn down. The content of this wall is a direct representation of people, their stories, thoughts, feelings and opinions regarding intolerance. Also negative experiences people have had and definfitions of racism will be told on these symbolic bricks. Schools, businesses, community based organizations and other agencies will be participating. Anyone who would like to submit a brick needs to print it on a piece of red construction paper and I will deliver it beforehand. There is also opportunity to do this during the event as well. Please spred the word and ateend if you like. Brick paper will be in Guidance and the Cafeteria on Thursday.

Juniors: We have about 2 months left of the 2009 - 2010 school year. In preparation for the next year -senior year- we will be having a contest for the design of the senior tees. Create a design on an 8 1/2 by 11'' white printer paper sheet and submit it to Ms. Dahl in Rm 220 by 3pm on Monday May 3rd. Remember-- it needs to be school appropriate and have your name on it. Your peers will vote on the designs on May 4th at the parent/student meeting. This meeting will be held in the library from 6 to 7pm. A parent must attend with you. Letters were sent home and questions should be directed to Ms. Dahl.
