Freshman Persuasive Speech

Supporting the Wheatland High School Grad Night event strengthens the community as a whole. Wheatland is a small, local farming community. The High School does not have the same level of funding that is afforded to other high schools located in larger communities, for example River Valley High School in Yuba City. In addition, the Wheatland community is a primary supporter of Beale Air Force Base. A large majority of Air Force personnel live in the Wheatland community and their children attend schools in the Wheatland School District. Supporting Grad Night will not only positively effect this small farming community but it will also enhance the morale and welfare of the Beale Air Force personnel and their families. Furthermore, providing a safe and sober place for graduates to celebrate will make the roads and community that much

Arrayed in semi-formal attire students attended the 13th “Farewell Dance”, which was held in the Christopher Columbus Middle School gym. Each year a different theme is used and this year’s was “Circus”. The 278 member graduating class passed by a colorful, surreal entry of oversized lollipops before descending into the Big Top area.

The event that I decided to closely observe was the Back to School Night at Van Ness Elementary School. Back to School Night was on Thursday September 8, 2016 from 5:30-7:00 pm. This event was open to all parents and community members who wanted to learn more information about Van Ness. All teachers hosted parents and visitors in their classrooms, and special teachers and staff personnel rotated around to different classrooms and passed out essential information regarding uniforms, the master schedule and was available to answer any questions. In general, the entire staff contributed to the function of the event, and made sure the parents and visitors felt welcomed and received all the needed information.

“It’s quite frankly humiliating really, the way so many people counted on us (sophomore class officers) to execute a great float and to end come out in last place in the float contest made me feel like I failed my classmates.” Says the Sophomore Class Secretary. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the results of the sophomore class float and when Vice President Nick Menster and Secretary Rodrigo Mayet heard that Indecorous was writing an article regarding what happened they decided to share their story. One of the biggest issue regarding the float was not the lack of effort but rather the lack of help during the construction process. Many students had the intentions of helping with the float but they were busy that day. “Nick (sophomore vice president) and I didn’t even pick the day to build the float, it was picked by the president. To make things worse we began building it four days before the parade, hardly enough time to work with everyone’s busy schedules, we didn't even know when the parade was, we were very

Homecoming at OSU has had a significant impact on my life, starting as I began coming to Stillwater at a young age and being in awe of the amazing production. I knew then that I wanted to have part of the prestigious House Decorations and school spirit. Being directly involved with Homecoming the past two years has truly been a blessing. The experience of being behind the scenes for different events such as the sign competition, orange glow, and the Hester street painting has drastically grown my appreciation for all the effort that goes into producing America’s Greatest Homecoming. I, now, have a better understanding of the work and dedication that is required for each piece of this celebration to thrive. I feel the lessons I have learned

The Junior High Awards ceremony has been changed to highlight the great work done by all of our 7th and 8th grade students this year. The Student Showcase will be on May 18 from 1:00-2:20 pm beginning in the HS Auditorium at 1 and moving into the 7th and 8th grade hallways from 1:10-2:20. Students have been hard at work creating posters that demonstrate their thoughtful reflections on the work that they have chosen and and practicing talking with adults about this work. Please join us on Thursday to see the great variety of work that our students have completed and are anxious to show off (see attached letter).

Homecoming is a very special experience for many students, and it stays with them forever. The alluring possibility of being king or queen of the school. Having the time of your life dancing and singing with your best friends. A dance with your high school sweetheart that you’ll never forget. All these possibilities are things that the students dream and hope for.

We will NOT be having a recovery tomorrow 3/22/16 due to the fact that Sodexo just reopened Sunday. Keep an eye on your email for future updates. If you have any questions feel free to email or text me. My number is (505)-929-4729.

Instead of griping and moaning about what place they don't want to be in, they'd need to put in more work and commit themselves to something they desire. Yes, if you want to take home the trophy then you'd need to TAKE and OWN the stage. That's with anything you are determined to obtain- from a career to a prized goal. No, I am not saying that every target will be reached, but being opportunistic will take you a long way in one's lifetime. Starting with recycling programs, helping around the school, and putting on a show for different areas of then community like American Airlines, we built a bond.

As you grow up, you really try to impress everyone around you. High school is pretty much the 4 years of Hell where you do your best to put up a front. I tried it, but near the end, I pretty much stopped caring what people thought because I realized that I don't really care. It was in that situation where I had an older brother who was really popular. Since I started hanging out with all of his friends instead of with people in my grade, I skipped a lot of stuff that I should've experienced.

All 150 students were anticipating for their Principal to tell them to stand up, grab their tassel and slide it to the left. Their hearts wanted to jump out and scream. Everyone couldn’t wait to be alumnis and go to their next chapter of life.

I’ve always loved Homecoming and one of my favorite parts of homecoming is being apart of the committee that plans the events. This past year we got a new football field and were no longer allowed to have our homecoming floats on the field. This lead to the cancellation of float building, one of the schools biggest bonding experiences, as well as our homecoming parade. When we realized there was no way of bringing floats back, we decided as a committee to brainstorm events that could replace it. I suggested the idea of a carnival. We ended up deciding to have the carnival and since I came up with the idea, I was put in charge of planning the first annual carnival.

Just like Indonesia’s national motto, “Unity in Diversity”, the immensely spirited Lincoln house members have contributed in unity with the reds, blues, and yellows, to the mosaic of our school’s achievements. Following in the footsteps of the 16th president of the United States, the Lincoln house is an epitome of simplicity, integrity, and perseverance. The measure of collective success that the Lincolners are most proud of as a house is the teamwork they have built on, with their shared sense of indomitable spirit and determination in the myriad of curricular and co-curricular activities through the course of the year.

On Monday, May 22nd the seniors got their yearbooks at the senior breakfast, and it was such a great time with all the seniors getting their yearbooks. The seniors are leaving and looking to the future of what’s next for them. Then from Tuesday to Friday, the underclassmen were able to pick up their yearbooks. Students have been signing each other yearbooks and people are just talking about what a year it has been. Now, it is time to focus on finals and looking forward to summer. Students are getting ready to hang out with friends, go on vacations, and having a great time. There are only a few days left until school is out! Let's make these final days great for CHHS, and let's start studying for finals and finish strong before summer! It has

This event is important to the school community as it is the first time that it will happen for many years.
