College Fair Tomorrow

representatives will be speaking with juniors and seniors to provide information

regarding admissions/academics/athletics/extracurricular opportunities available at

their respective post-secondary institutions. Students who have class at the Anderson

V Career Campus or Southwood Academy of the Arts are expected to attend their

respective class at those locations during this time. All juniors and seniors on the TL

Hanna campus may visit with college representatives in the mall area from 10:10 –

10:55 am.

PSAT and ASVAB Wednesday

The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (which is also the National Merit Scholarship

Qualifying Test) and the ASVAB will be given this Wednesday in the morning. The

afternoon is an early release day for students and a Professional Development Half

Day for Teachers.

School Dance Friday After

Greenwood Game – New Ground

Rules About Dancing…

I have consented to allow Student Government to sponsor a dance after the

Greenwood football game Friday night, October 18. Along with the privilege will

come student responsibility to dance appropriately. As you may be aware, we have

had issues with “dirty dancing,” and I don’t mean the Patrick Swayze kind. That is

clean compared to what some students want to do. This dancing has a girl backing

up to a boy, where her backside comes in contact with his front side and then they

mailto:[email protected]

proceed to gyrate vigorously to the music. I think you get the picture. You might

think that the students participating in this are the real trouble-makers, right? No so.

Even those thought of as upstanding citizens are taking part.

Schools all over the country are ceasing to have dances because of this new

phenomenon. All I can say is that we will not have it here. There is a new rule that

is really not new at all -- we just have never applied it to dancing. As you may

know, all school rules apply to school-sponsored events as well. Since a dance is a

school sponsored event, I am going to apply an existing rule to dancing. This rule

(in the Anderson V District Code of Conduct) is found under “Sexual Offenses:” The

rule states, “A student shall not engage in consensual sexual activity.” If one made

the motion I described above in the school building during the school day, it would

be considered a sexual offense. It only makes sense that the same motion on a dance

floor would be no different. The consequence for such an offense is three days of

out-of-school suspension. As students buy tickets for this dance, they will be given

the rule as it applies to inappropriate dancing. If they have issues with following the

rule, then I would suggest they find another locale in which to dance.

Breast Cancer Awareness Night at

Hanna

The T.L. Hanna Football family will honor and remember those who have fought

the battle with breast cancer (or any other type of cancer) this Friday night, October

18th by wearing our “A Crucial Catch” shirts and participating in a one-lap relay

around the track. The shirts are on sale now for $5.00 each (2X and 3X are $10.00

each). There is a limited number of each size and the shirts will be sold on a first

come, first serve basis. Order yours today! The relay will take place on the track at

7:15 pm before the varsity football game vs Greenwood. Walk for yourself or walk

for someone else! You don’t have to buy a shirt to participate in the relay. If you

have any questions, please contact Coach Fouch at [email protected] or

(864) 260-5151.

Powder Puff Football Game

The Powderpuff game has been postponed until November 14 to allow for practice

time. Students that have not yet paid need to do so next week in Room 802.

American Legion Oratorical Contest

See attachment to newsletter for information about this contest. There is scholarship

money attached to this contest.

Calhoun’s 40 Year Roundup

On Friday, October 25, 2013, Calhoun Academy of the Arts will be celebrating 40

years of service to children in the Anderson community. They are opening their

doors for a huge homecoming. They are inviting former students, parents, PTA

officers, teachers, and administrators to commemorate this special occasion in the life

of the school. They seek to reflect on the past and remember a rich tradition of

excellence exemplified by all those involved in Calhoun Street Elementary School

since 1973 and the contributions of all who came from North Fant Elementary

School in January 1973.

For those who would like to purchase a ticket for the barbeque dinner and are

unable to come to the school prior to the event, please call to have your ticket

reserved (864-260-5090). They need to have an estimate of the amount of food

needed for the event. Mark your calendars and attend if you have a past connection

to this wonderful school!

Grease

Grease is a high energy musical set in the rocking 50s. This classic coming of age

story features Danny, Sandy, and the whole Rydell High gang as they steer through

the typical high school “drama” singing familiar songs as “Greased Lighting, “Summer

Nights”, “Born to Hand Jive” and many more of your favorites from this Tony

nominated show! So grab your poodle skirts and leather jackets and hand jive your

way to Project Challenge Playhouse for your chance to enroll in Rydell High School

and become a Pink Lady or Burger Palace Boy!

What’s wrong with this picture? Radio relaxes in the gym with three

properly attired PE teachers and one who is in violation of dress code.

From this Clemson grad, I feel a letter of reprimand may be in order.

Even Radio is properly attired .
