Happy 2010!
We have successfully made it to the beginning of a new decade. Welcome to 2010. It is hard to believe that we are 11 years into the 21st century. Y2K seems like a small dot in the distant past.
As we move forward into the new year let me take this opportunity to remind you of some of the major events looming on the calendar.
The High School Mid-term Exam Week will begin on Monday, Jan. 25 and run through Friday, Jan. 29. The exam schedule is posted on the website and will be made available to all students. Please go over the schedule carefully with your son or daughter.
Our Winter Formal will be held at the end of exam week on Friday, Jan. 29. This is a wonderful way for the students to relax and have fun with each other after a week of exams. If you have any questions about the Winter Formal, please contact Mrs. Aguilar for assistance.
The Whitney M. Young, Jr. Club will sponsor its annual dinner on Friday, Feb. 5 in the VIF Cafeteria. This year, we will be honored to have Mrs. Renee LeGendre's father, a former Buffalo Soldier, in attendance to share his memories.
Of course, I am sure you all have the February break already posted on your calendars, but if you missed it, we will be out from Feb. 15 through Feb. 19.
Have a wonderful 2010!

"Arrive Alive" a big success...
October's "Arrive Alive" demonstration/break out groups was a very successful program. Due to the support of the Mt. Pleasant Police Dept., the Valhalla Ambulance Corps, and the Valhalla Fire Dept. along with the vision of senior Jen Hiltz, the high school students had the opportunity to watch the process and consequences surrounding a two-car accident caused by a drunk driver. With sirens blaring and lights flashing, police cars, ambulances and fire trucks descended on the high school lower parking lot as the students looked on. Police officers, EMTs, and fire fighters went about their job of attending to the injured, extracting trapped victims from a car using the "jaws of life," and administering a "field sobriety test" to the "suspect."
After the demonstration, the students were given the opportunity to ask questions and listen to the emergency workers in "break-out" groups. The students had great questions and listened intently to the rescue workers whose bottom line was to have the students make good decisions.
Whether they may get behind the wheel of the car or be a passenger in a vehicle, the students were told to PLEASE think before they act. One bad decision can change a person's life forever.
Thank you to the men and women who were a part of the demonstration on Friday and who respond to our needs on a daily basis!

Winter Sports Awards Night
Congratulations to Mr. Jamie Block and the Winter Coaches for a fantastic season! The Winter Sports Awards Night, held on Thursday, April 2, was a great way to bring closure to such a great season. From the wonderful video montage to the enjoyable social gathering to the individual team meetings throughout the building, the night was full of celebration and recognition. It was so good to see the success of our teams being recognized by both hardware and applause. I am looking forward to the same excitement at our Spring Awards Night at the end of the year!
