*ADMINISTRATION*

* *

Berkeley High, this is the dean of attendance, with a reminder that anybody
who misses 30 periods of class without an excuse will get blocked from
school dances and from work permits.  Every three tardies will count as one
unexcused absence. And yes, they will accumulate *all year*.  If you attend
Saturday school from 9am to 1 pm., you can excuse six of your most recent
period absences. In Saturday school, tutors will help you with work you
missed the days you were absent. Free breakfast, too. If you want to sign
up for Saturday school—speak to me or anybody in the attendance office.
Space is limited to the first 30 students who sign up.  Our first Saturday
school date is coming up November 10th. After that we’ll have Saturday
school every other week.****

the Berkeley Rep School of Theatre, November 4, from 12 noon to 4pm for an
afternoon full of advocating, and protecting arts programming!  RSVP to

healthy way to calm the mind?  Then come to meditation workshops at the
YMCA Teen Center!  Meditation is a powerful, scientifically proven way to
improve concentration and relieve stress.  Every Thursday at lunch is a 20
minute meditation, by teens for teens.  All levels of experience are
welcome.  Please come to C308 for details.

*5.  Do you like money? Do you have money but don't know how to spend it or
save it wisely? Do you not have money, but would like to learn how to earn
some through entrepreneurship and investment? Then join Money Management
Club! We meet on Fridays at lunch in Room C-309!

*6. Did you know that tobacco is the leading cause of preventable and
premature death in the US?  Come out to the senior steps at lunch on
