Berkeley High School Bulletin for Friday, April 15, 2016

At the top of today's announcements is Principal Pasarow with the positive shout outs.

Today's first shout out is from Samantha Borg and goes to Safety Officer Raul Garcia and Custodian Jeff Rindell, "Raul and Jeff always work hard for us in the M building. They keep us tidy and safe and they interact really well with all students. They make our lives easier!"

Our next shout out is from Max Wheeler and Yoshi Salaveri, aimed at Dagny Dingman, "We are shouting you out Dagny for almost two years of guidance as our BTSA (Beginning Teacher Support Assessment) mentor. Thank you for all your great advice and encouragement, and for always keeping students at the center of the discussion!"

The next shout out comes from Safety Officer Johnna Quist and goes to a long list of the cast of SOS performance: Safety Officers Eric Riley, Steven Saunders, Rashad Andrews, Teachers Max Wheeler and Ashley Daly, Ms. Jasdeep Mahli as well as our Maintenance Engineer James Thompkins---Johnna shouts you out for your excellent performances in the SOS play."

I wanted to provide today's final shout out to campus gardener James Wilson, "James, your hand got pretty badly injured while on the job last week and you took it like a champ and reported to work the next day. Our grounds are beautiful and I commend your dedication to Berkeley High."

Today is the Day of Silence

Today is the Day of Silence, a national event with the purpose of bringing attention to LGBTQ+ issues in schools. Many students on campus today have taken a vow of silence to reflect the silencing effect of bullying and harassment. During 4th and 5th periods, the BHS Gay Straight Alliance will host panel discussions in the Little Theater to increase awareness about LGBTQ+ issues. And at the end of today, there will be a scream on the Senior Steps to break the silence.
