MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL:
Yesterday was the Senior Awards Ceremony at the Boeing Theater, and it was a grand celebration of students in the Class of 2010! The senior speaker, selected by her classmates, was Kristina Ong, whose message was inspiring and delivered with poise and dignity. Great job, Kristina!

Congratulations to the following juniors who have qualified for the 2010 Washington Aerospace Scholar Summer Residency: Matthew Eaton, Franco Spadoni, James Stone, Laura Hixson, Spencer Noble, Tyler Escott, Banks Hunter, and Jordan Cross. These students will work cooperatively to plan a human mission to Mars with support from professional engineers/scientists, university students, and certificated educators. The residency also includes briefings from aerospace professionals, tours of engineering facilities, and hands-on engineering challenges involving model rocketry, robotics, landing devices, and payload lofting. The daily schedule is quite full, and the students lodge in double rooms at a local hotel under the supervision of certificated teachers. Travel, lodging, and meal expenses are provided to participating students and teachers thanks to the WAS Foundation and the many generous donors of the Museum of Flight.

This Friday is our all-school Student Awards Ceremony, scheduled from 9:30-11:30 at the Performing Arts Center (PAC). Please report to your first period class on Friday, where attendance will be taken prior to loading the busses which will transport us to the PAC. Students are NOT to drive to the PAC! Look forward to an exciting ceremony with lots of great awards. There’s much to celebrate! And…it’s a “ceremony”, so that means that you should be attired in regular school dress code or better. Please…no jeans, even though it is Friday!

Another reminder: If you want to go on the delivery flight that is scheduled for June 29, please sign up with Mrs. Hiranaka in the main office! We just received notice last week that June 15 is the cut-off date for getting information to Alaska Airlines and Boeing, so it is VERY important that you sign up this week!

That’s it for this week. As ever, I’m honored to be your principal. ~Reba

Except for the Quote of the Week, the following announcements have been posted in previous editions of the NOTAM. They are still important and posted for your information and action, as appropriate:
Friday, June 11 All-school Awards Ceremony, 9:30-11:30 at the PAC
Thursday, June 17 Graduation Ceremony, 10-11:00 a.m. at the PAC; students in grades 9, 10, 11 report to school at 12:30 p.m. for lunch, classes begin at 1:00 p.m.
Tuesday, June 29 Alaska Airlines Delivery Flight! First priority will be given to ACE club members, then graduating seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. Tentative plans include pick-up of students at AHS by chartered bus, transport to Boeing Field where we will board a new Boeing aircraft that Alaska is accepting into its fleet, a scenic tour around the Puget Sound area, and landing at Sea-Tac Airport where pictures will be taken before boarding the chartered busses back to AHS. While this event will occur during non-school time, it will still be school-sponsored. As such, all participants will need to have a permission form completed and returned to school by June 22. Participants will also need to have their own transportation to and from the school that day. A sign-up sheet will be posted in the Main Office and we will accept students on a first-come, first-served basis. Seniors: this is a great opportunity to receive just one more great graduation gift! Alaska presented it as a gift to last year’s graduating class, and it was quite spectacular—another memory-making event! Deadline for signing up: June 15!

Question of the Week:
Who is the AHS student who loves to draw, paint, design clothing and dishware, make and decorate elaborate desserts, write and act in short films AND who already knows how to play violin, piano and guitar and plans to learn to play the theremin this summer?
