Doodle for Google

There's a great competition from Google called "Doodle 4 Google"   It's an art competition based on a theme selected by Google.  The students will create a drawing and the winner will get their drawing displayed on Google's home page.

Last year, they gave away a $30,000 college scholarship, and a $50,000 technology grant for their school to the winner.

The competition for 2014 starts in January.

Here is the link to the page:  http://www.google.com/doodle4google/

Yoga Opportunity for Mt. Hope High School Students

Ms. Mastriano, English teacher at Mt. Hope High School, will offer free yoga classes to MHHS students.  Ms. Mastriano is in the process of earning her yoga teacher certification.   In order to earn her certification, she must complete a certain number of voluntary hours of service.  She will offer free yoga classes to MHHS students over the next 8-10 weeks (Thursdays, 2:45-3:45ish in the library classroom).   The class will be geared toward beginners, but students with experience are certainly welcome.  Ms. Mastriano wants to cultivate a safe, fun, “no-judgment zone” with the added benefit of exercise. 

If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Mastriano.  

 

4Pi---Perfect Attendance Award

In the 2013-2014 academic year, Mt. Hope High School will offer an incentive to encourage students to come to school every day ready to learn. This incentive comes in the form of an attendance award which will be presented to a high school senior who has perfect attendance for each of the four years he or she has attended Mt. Hope High School.

The 4 Pi Attendance Award will be presented to a high school senior who has attended 720 continuous days of instruction.  The deserving student will receive $720 for this accomplishment, one dollar for each day of attendance.  Why is 720 the lucky number?  That sum is equal to the number of degrees in 4 pi radians.

This creation of this award is the brainchild of an anonymous donor who has established the 4Pi Attendance Award Scholarship Fund with an initial deposit of $10,000.  The one caveat to the creation of the fund is that the donor remains anonymous.  The only clue to this mystery is the name of the award itself!

Thank you...

Thank you to the students and families who joined us for the College Fair and College Information night last night.   We had a great turnout.
