This
year, we will be starting our school's first HOSA chapter. HOSA is an
international student organization for those interested in healthcare. The
mission of the club is to promote healthcare career opportunities and to
improve the quality of healthcare delivered. For students who choose to get
involved, it helps them improve upon leadership skills, properly pursue a
medical career, get involved in local healthcare projects, and earn
scholarships and internships. As our
chapter is just beginning this year, we ask those who are interested
to join to help us make the most out of our club and to go with us to the
HOSA state conference in the spring. Be sure to mark HOSA for Wednesdays
when Genius Hour sign-ups are released this week!
- Do you love your school and being involved? Are you
interested in serving our community and bringing unity to the whole school
through different events? Come to the SGA interest meeting in D222
today! There will be a meeting every lunch, so come during your lunch. Be
ready to receive your application.
- Yearbooks for the
2018-19 school year are officially on sale! You can get yours for $60 ($50
for seniors!) until September 14th. After that, the price WILL go up,so
make sure to order yours ASAP from jostensyearbooks.com! Also, follow
@STEMYB on Twitter today to keep up with all yearbook news and updates!
- Students are reminded
that eating lunch on the plaza is a privilege. Following third lunch
in particular on Friday there was garbage left on and around
tables. This is your only warning – clean up after yourself,
throw garbage away in a proper receptacle. Help police your
friends. Failure to do so will result in all food being
restricted to the cafeteria and verandah only.

Christ meets every Monday @ 8:50 in room D113. All are welcome!

Partners in Education will present the 2nd Annual Hike for
Schools on Saturday, September 29. Join us at Third Creek

back to schools! Park and sign in at West High School. For
more information and register online, got to

from Robert Frost:
Two roads diverged in a
wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the
difference.
