SAT word of the day: abomination (n)-- A very detestable act or practice

ADMINISTRATION

1. Students interested in taking Honors Algebra 2 or Honors Math Analysis
next year must take the placement exam.  If you are currently enrolled in an
Honors course at BHS and will end the year with an A or B you do not need to
take the test.  Any other current BHS student may sign up on the sign-up
sheets posted on the math office H113.  Any off-campus students planning to
take the test should email Amy Burke at amy_burke at berkeley.k12.ca.us with
their preferred testing date. The test will take approximately one hour and
is to be given on Monday, April 5 and Tuesday, April 6 in H304 at
4:00.Please note, this exam is different from the exam being offered to all
incoming 9th graders.  It is being offered to current 9th, 10th and 11th
grade students both enrolled at BHS and coming into the school in the fall.

2. We just received the scores for the February American Mathematics
Competition.  This year we had 66 students participating, the most in many,
many years.  Congratulations to all who participated.  Congratulations to
Finn van Krieken, the school winner for 11th and 12th grade, and to Matt
Olson, Robert Carrera, and Jonathan Ruchlis, who all qualified for the
American Invitational Mathematics Examination.  Congratulations also to the
three school winners for the 9th and 10th grade competition: Yaron
Greenwald, Aron Cowen-Luehrmann, and Alex Nachtwey.

3. Week of service (March 22-March 26). Each day we have a different theme -
show your service spirit.

- Wednesday is Help Humanity. Be a buddy, find a buddy to dress alike.
- Thursday is Political Activism Day. Be patriotic/radical. Dress like a
