STUDENT DAILY BULLETIN

Wed., March 16, 2011

ADMINISTRATION

1. Interested in AP environmental science? Want to know more about the
course? Come to G201 at lunch and talk to Ms. de Brito or Ms Mertens on
March 22nd. 

2. Interested in going to Law School ? Are you an activist who believes in
Restorative Justice? Do you think students should have a voice in discipline
issues at Berkeley High? Then check out the Student Court ! Join the fight
against the school-to-prison pipeline which feeds the American
prison-industrial complex. Many are not aware the USA has more people behind
bars than any other country in the entire world. Our democratic values of
Justice and Liberty have been hijacked by corporate interests; and it is up
to youth activists to bring about the necessary change. For more info about
the Student Court come by H104! Enrollment for the Student Court Leadership
Class is currently open for the Spring semester. Participants will receive 5
units of elective credit. Under-represented minority youth are especially
