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!
- 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.

Scouts of America for males and females aged 14-21. It is operated
through Venturing Crews, units of youth and advisors that meet on set schedules

youth-inspired. If interested, check out this link https://www.scouting.org/programs/venturing/ Paper brochures are also in the
