CHARTER NOTES
Thursday and Friday, January 25 to January 26, 2007
Week 3
Attention Students (TCP):
Please see Ms. Escalona in the office if you did not receive an academic
pin or the correct pin during the assembly. All students who earned a
3.5 or higher should have received an academic pin. The deadline to pick
up your pin is Monday, January 29.
Spirit Week (TCP):
Attention students, there have been severe problems with the construction
of the gym. These complications have left the workers discouraged and
disappointed. The school is asking your help to boost their morale so
that they will be able to begin the daunting task once again. To show
your support for the construction team, your enthusiasm should be at its
highest this week.
Thursday: Liquid Day
Friday: Freshmen: Reptiles
Sophomores: Birds
Juniors: Fish
Seniors: Mammals (except humans)
Your help in the lifting the workers' spirits is critical if the gym
is to be completed. Thank you.
Support the ECHS Cheerleading team!
This Thursday, January 25, head to Rubio’s on E. Valley Pkwy for
dinner between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.. Rubio’s will donate 20%
of the profits to the ECHS cheerleaders. Make sure you bring a flier which
can be obtained from Ms. Wood in the main office.
Checkers:
Understandably, when many of you think of the game checkers your mind
is filled with thoughts of old men sitting in parks spending hours calculating
the strategic moves necessary to win the game. However, this Friday the
students of Escondido Charter High School will be offered the chance to
transform this game of tedious, colorless, painful, near morbid monotony
to one of the most intense, hair-raising games this school has seen. The
White Tigers should meet during lunch at the clock tower this Friday to
display their bold tactics, agile bodies, and rancorous spirits. Only
the most cutthroat of competitors should compete as this game is bound
to be one of the most intense games this school has seen. Prepare to decimate
your opposition.
Seniors:
If you haven’t ordered your cap and gown for graduation yet, your
time is running short. Please see Ms. Escalona in the TCP office for an
order form by February 2.
Lunch Menu:
The Snack & Deli introduces a “Hot Meal” dish for your
enjoyment. The “Hot Meal” will be offered once every other
week beginning February 2. Please find the menu and sign-up sheet in the
Student Union. Don’t forget to reserve and pre-pay for your meal
on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Spring Break Service Trip:
Last year during Spring Break a group of 13 students and adults traveled
to Mexico to serve at an orphanage. Last Thanksgiving break we went again.
This time bringing 23 people. And now we’re going back! Join us
on our third adventure into Mexico this Spring Break. Stop by room G-105
and see Mr. Armentano for more information.
All Students Note:
Although chewing gum is allowed on campus, it may not be chewed inside
any office, classroom, or the Library. Please deposit your gum in a trash
can before entering these areas.
Leadership Development Opportunity:
All juniors interested in developing their leadership skills are invited
to apply for the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA). Two juniors from
ECHS will be selected to attend the 2007 RYLA Conference. The all-expenses
paid leadership training program will be held in Idyllwild Pines from
April 20 -April 22. Take advantage of this opportunity to interact with
community leaders and other outstanding juniors from San Diego County.
See Mr. Grady as soon as possible for details. Completed applications
and a short essay are due no later than Friday, February 2.
Pygmalion:
Come see the production of George Bernard Shaw's famous play, "Pygmalion,"
presented by the Performing Arts Class. This is a classic show that is
sure to please everyone. Performances will be Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
evenings, January 25-27, at 7:15 p.m. in the Library. Spread the word.
Accounting Class:
Mr. Owen is conducting another accounting class starting February 5. The
class is open to students, teachers and parents. The class will be held
Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. This class will cover
basic accounting principles and how to set up a set of books for a small
company. There is no cost for the class and all students receive a certificate
of completion worthy of hanging on your “I love me wall” or
showing to a prospective employer. Please call Mr. Owen if you have any
questions at extension 154 or email him at lowen@echs.org. Hurry…
