Breathalyzer

An important condition added to our prom contract was established several years ago. Thiscondition targets students who demonstrate behavior and conduct that leads us to believethey may be under the influence of intoxicating beverages requiring that they submit to a

Breathalyzer test.A portable Breathalyzer unit will be maintained on thescene of this years prom and will be manned by our Prevention Resource Officer, SGT.Kevin Smailes.

Help Needed!Valet Parking for the Prom

Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 7:30 PM valet parking for our annual prom begins. Each yearwe hold the Capital High School Prom in our own Commons! The prom begins at 8:00sharp. We feel that we have as beautiful a facility for this event as any in our area. Having


4/21

our prom here on our campus affords us the opportunity to provide our students with amemory they can cherish for a life time. One thing that we have done to make this eventspecial is to provide valet parking to those arriving by vehicle to attend the Capital HighSchool Prom. Members of the faculty and staff have been the individuals who have donethe bulk of this fun, rewarding, and sometimes challenging, work on prom evening. How-

ever, this year we are asking that anyone - with a valid drivers license - who is willing tolend their driving and parking skills to help us give our students a wonderful evening oncampus at the Capital High School Prom. If you wish to help, you may contact the promsponsor, Mrs. Laura Woolwine, or any administrator at the school, at 348-6500.

Lift Every Voice and Sing

Beginning on Friday, April 8, 2011, as an addition to our morning devotional we also play -following the national anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag - James WeldonJohnson's Lift Every Voice and Sing.Mr. Johnson first wrote this as a poem commemorating the birthday of President Abraham

Lincoln. However, it has become so much more than a simple birthday recognition! As ithas been pointed out to students this song (although it is referred to by many as the NegroNational Anthem) portrays no particular racial or ethnic identity. And, duringthe reflections that were offered on the song during our Black History Month Observationlast year, it should have become even more apparent to all that this song is about the tri-umphs of the American people as a wholeover slavery, discrimination,injustice, racism, and bigotry, more so than any other message conveyed throughsong. This song speaks to, about, and for all people who have ever experienced any of theindignities mentioned previously at any time in their lives, anywhere. Therefore, it be-comes incumbent upon us all, to be reminded of, and to make a concert-ed effort to work against those forces that would attempt to perpetuate

any form of slavery, discrimination, injustice, racism, and bigotry any-where in the world - not just here in the United States of America. Makeno mistake about it, eternal vigilance is the price of peace! Through theplaying of the song it is hoped that it will serve as a reminder to all of us to beon guard against allowing slavery, discrimination, injustice, racism, and bigotry to everagain plague this great nation of ours or any other part of the world. The following are thelyrics to the three verses of this beautiful song. The first four lines of the songspeak volumes and invites everyone to celebrate the liberty Americansenjoy!

LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING

Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring,Ring with the harmonies of liberty;Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listning skies,Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,


5/21

Let us march on till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastning rod,Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,

Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?We have come over a way that with tears has been watered.We have come, treading our path thro the blood of the slaughtered,Out from a gloomy past, till now we stand at last,Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years,God of our silent tears,Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;Thou who hast by thy might, led us into the light,Keep us forever in the path, we pray.

Lest our feet stray from the places Our God where we met Thee,Lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the world we forget Thee;Shadowed beneath Thy hand may we forever stand,True to our God,True to our native land.

~James Weldon Johnson, John Rosamond Johnson ~

Graduation/Commencement Participation Require-ments have Changed!

22.01Graduation Requirements. Students are required to earn twenty five (25)credits in order to graduate. Specific graduation requirements for students inKanawha County Schools are outlined in the Senior Course Description Handbookthat is published annually for students and parents. All graduation requirements willbe in accordance with West Virginia Board of Education Policy 2510.

In the past it has been Kanawha County Schools policy to permit students who were withinone credit or less of meeting graduation requirements to participate in the annual gradua-tion/commencement activities hosted by the school.Beginning with the 2009 - 2010 school year, participation in the annual graduation/com-mencement activities will include only those students who have accumulated

the 25 credits in the requisite areas specified by the Kanawha CountyBoard of Education.All students are encouraged to ensure that they meet graduation requirements as soon aspossible through meeting with their respective counselors. We do not wish to find our-selves in the unenviable position of having to tell a student and their parent or guardian thatthey will not be permitted to participate in the annual graduation/commencement activitiesof Capital High School, after all appropriate preparations and arrangements had been madeby the student.

International Luncheon

The twenty-third annual international luncheon was a great success again this year. Parentsand students exceeded all expectations by preparing a variety of delicious recipes. Natural-ly there were dishes from all the Hispanic countries and France, but this year the exchangestudents prepared dishes from their home countries as well. There were dishes fromLebanon, India, Korea, and Bosnia. Many of the teachers and administrators ate lunch withthe students and commented on the variety and preparation of the food.Most everyone followed the guidelines by bringing only disposable containers, so thecleanup went very fast. Those containers helped us send six boxes of food to the homelessshelter; thus, many were well fed that day. The international luncheon requires the help ofmany: Students, parents, administrators, teachers, and custodians, and all are very much ap-preciated.

Capital High students competed for a trophy with 13 schools in the large school division,and were awarded the second place trophy. Individual students competed for medals withsuperior students from 45 schools throughout West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio.

We owe a big thank you to the 81 students who spent their first day of spring break gettingon a school bus at 7:00 am to take tests. Some of them won but all of them competed hon-orably.

The competition is a school-wide effort with many teachers helping with registering stu-

dents before the day of the competition. I appreciate all the help that Mrs. McClure, Mr.Cox and Mrs. Sears gave me on the day of the competition. Noelia Lerma, the AmityScholar, and Niki Sangani, my student helper, were also invaluable in organizing the regis-tration of competitors before the day of the competition.

It was a fun day, and we will try again next year for first place against Greenbrier East whowon a trophy for bringing the most student competitors.

Kanawha Charleston Health Department

Kanawha Charleston Health Department had an immunization clinic at Capital High on

Tuesday April 17, 2012. Consent form packets were sent home on Tues-day April 10, 2012. Please note that these immunizations are mandatory for entry intothe 12th grade. We must have the students immunization records and insurance informationbefore any immunizations will be given. Students entering the 12th grade must show proofof having the TDap and Meningoccal immunizations prior to the first day of school for the2012-2013 school year.

IMPORTANT ALERT FOR PARENTS OF INCOMING 12th

GRADERSNEW IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS!

Before students may enter the 12th grade in the 2012-2013 school year,they must show proof that they have had the Tdap vaccine booster, af-ter the age of 11, and at least one dose of the meningococcal vaccine,after their 16th birthday. This is a new rule that will go into effect with thebeginning of the school year. It was created to make sure students areprotected from some pretty serious contagious diseases.The Tdap shot is only one shot but protects against three diseases,tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. Students had these shots prior to en-


10/21

tering Kindergarten, but now must show proof that they have had thebooster shot, since protection has been shown to weaken as children getolder. Pertussis is a very contagious disease and can last for 10 weeksor more. If pertussis is passed to infants or very young children it maybe life threatening.

Bacterial meningococcal vaccine protects adolescents from the deadlybacterial meningitis. Even with treatment, people who get bacterialmeningitis die in about 10% of the cases, and those who survive havelong term complications such as deafness, brain damage or amputatedlimbs about 20% of the time. Most colleges now require the meningo-coccal vaccine before students are allowed to enroll.If your child is going to begin the 12th grade this August, please make anappointment now with his or her primary health care provider for anadolescent physical and the required immunizations. It is also a goodidea to talk with your provider about the HPV vaccine to prevent genitalwarts and cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine is not required but is recom-

mended. BE SURE TO ASK FOR WRITTEN PROOF THAT YOUR HIGHSCHOOL SENIOR HAS HAD THE TDAP AND THE MENINGOCOCCAL VAC-CINES. You may bring that proof to the school any time prior to the lastday of school this year or before or on the first day of school in August.If you have any questions please call Kanawha Charleston Health De-partment at 304-348-8080 or Kanawha County Schools Health Servicesat 304-348-6494.
