Honor Roll, Pep Rally, Mr UC & more....

Hello Everyone!!

It’s been a week since we got back to school from Spring Break. It was a very relaxing one for me; thank goodness I didn’t have much homework. Since the weather was so cold, it was easier to return to school after a long break. We started things off by attending the Honor Roll Breakfast for the third marking period. All the students and their families met in the cafeteria, where Sr. Percy Lee and our assistant principals and guidance counselors announced all the names and expressed their congratulations, and then we were treated to a breakfast. It was a nice way to start off the week.

The Spring Pep Rally is tomorrow. In addition to all the other spring sports (track, baseball, softball, tennis, and golf) UC’s new spring sport, girls lacrosse, will be ‘walking’ in the pep rally. A lot of the girls got together and wanted to form a team, and some of our teachers agreed to be the coaches. The girls are really excited. If you ever want to go see one of our sporting events – see a schedule on our website! Now that the weather is getting nicer, it’s a great way to spend an afternoon with your friends. The dance club will be performing at the Pep Rally too. The girls and I have been rehearsing and we’re excited to be dancing again. I’ve been told that everyone always looks forward to seeing the dance club perform!

The Annual Mr. UC Pageant is Thursday night at 7pm in the auditorium. A number of senior boys are in this pageant, and the audience gets to help pick the winner. It’s really a fun and entertaining night! Also, before the pageant, SMAC (Student Movement against Cancer) is hosting their “Quarter-Dip” night to raise funds for the fight against cancer. This is when members of SMAC provide all sorts of food for a quarter per serving. It’s a fun night and a great way to raise money for a very worthy cause.

This Friday night is the Junior Prom. It’s from 8pm – 12am at Berkeley Plaza. Some of my girlfriends in the sophomore class are going. They are sooo excited!! I know that the juniors have been looking forward to this night for a long time. I’m sure everyone will have a great time.

* OPEN HOUSE – TOMORROW, TUESDAY APRIL 24th at 7:00pm! I’ve been talking all about my school; here’s your chance to come and experience it for yourself! It’s never too early to start looking at high schools. This open house gives you a “sneak peek” at what UC is all about, but you should still plan on coming to our Open House next Fall.

I know how exciting this time of year must be for eighth graders who are preparing for graduation. Good Luck!! And if you’re coming to UC next year, make sure to attend the Freshman BBQ. It’s a lot of fun, and you to get to meet many people – not just members in your new class, but some UC students too!

That’s just an update on what’s going on. Stay tuned for more!
