*Berkeley High School Bulletin for Friday, May 20, 2016*

Good Morning Berkeley High School, this is Mr. Pasarow with your daily 
announcements.

At the top of today’s announcements are positive shoutouts. Our first 
love bomb comes from David Luu in OCI and is directed toward Safety 
Officer Steven Saunders: “Thank you Steve Saunders for your uncanny 
ability to recover lost and stolen items. You are a valuable asset to 
our school, and I know that everyone appreciates your hard work and your 
winning attitude!”

The next shoutout comes from Peter Rodriguez and is directed at our 
award-winning newspaper, the Jacket, “Congratulations to BHS Jacket for 
winning first place from the American Scholastic Press Association and 
for Satchi Moran for winning best Newspaper Illustrator in the country. 
Fantastic work!”

Our next announcement comes from Marcela Taylor and goes out to our 
Newcomer students. “I want to thank each of you for your commitment and 
leadership in helping organize our first annual Newcomer retreat. We are 
so proud of your accomplishments and grateful that you continue to share 
your talents with our community!”

Our final shoutout comes from me and goes to Divesh Kumar, AC student. 
Divesh, I saw you return Ms. Phillips' ID card to her at lunch on 
Thursday after you found it on the ground. Good lookin’ out Divesh – we 
appreciate you!”
