– CHANCELLOR FARINA COLLEGE ACCESS VISIT
We have one more showcase on
Monday when Chancellor Farina & Deputy Chancellor Weinberg visit HSFI on
Monday to highlight our College Access work that includes our APPS college prep
classes, guidance support, Youth Leaders and Bridge Coaches.
Chancellor Farina
will also be highlighting a SAT School Day pilot program that HSFI will be participating
in this March where all 11th graders
will be taking the SAT on a school day in school for free. We at HSFI are
thrilled to be part of this program that will be a reality for all schools
starting next year.
There will be newspaper and TV press there at the event and I will let the
entire HSFI community know about the coverage as it becomes available to me.

– ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO DEPOSIT FASHION DOLLAR TOKENS
We are out of Fashion Dollar tokens
– please encourage your students to deposit their tokens. This week we will have our first set of
students going out to lunch and our first after school celebration which will
be an ice cream party. If you out of
tokens, please use FashionSoaars.com for the distribution of Fashion Dollars.
#3
– LUNCH APPLICATIONS – URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!!!
We still have 500+ students who
still have not returned their lunch application – you have a list of your
students. Follow up with these students
and help motivate them to return these applications. Always remember that HSFI receives $1 million
dollars in Title I funding through the collection of these lunch applications –
our school would look a whole lot different without these funds – people’s jobs
and student services are at stake.

– VTODs FOR THE WEEK
Monday, October 26
alignment (n) 1. Arrangement or position
in a straight line or in parallel lines. The tiles had slipped out of
alignment.2. Parts of something that are in the proper position relative to
each other. Adjusting the front wheels on a car is an example of a front-end
alignment.
Tuesday, October 27
viscous (adj.) having the sticky
properties of an adhesive. A viscous liquid is thick and sticky and does not
flow easily. In Alberta Canada, fierce
opponents of oil development call the nation’s petroleum reserve ‘tar sands’
instead of the more reassuring ‘oil sands’ because they say it has the viscous
quality of peanut butter.
Wednesday, October 28
aggregate 1 (v). to join or combine into a
single group. The web site aggregates content from many other sites. These
insects tend to aggregate in dark, moist places. 2. to equal a specified number
or amount. All together, they had profits aggregating more than 10 million
dollars. 3. (n) a total amount: They won
the two games by an aggregate of 40 points.
Thursday, October 29
inherent
1. (adj.)
belonging to the basic nature of someone or something. I'm afraid the problems you mention are
inherent in the system. 2. Inherently
(adv.): A more romantic and less scientific interpretation of Mary
Shelley’s Gothic horror story,
Frankenstein, is that human beings are inherently good but corrupted by
society.
Friday, October 30
ultimatum (n): a final demand. Give him an ultimatum: either resign today or
be fired tomorrow. In 1914, Austria-Hungary issued a diplomatic ultimatum to
Serbia; in the case of Serbia, the rejection brought about a declaration of war
upon her.

research.

– RED RIBBON WEEK THIS WEEK AT HSFI
Red Ribbon Week originated as a tribute to Special Agent
Enrique "Kiki" S. Camarena, a narcotics agent with the Drug
Enforcement Administration. In 1985, Mr.
Camarena was kidnapped and murdered by drug traffickers in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Kiki’s death enraged many Americans in his hometown of Calexico, California,
and they began to wear red ribbons to commemorate his sacrifice. The anti-drug
message spread quickly, and in 1988, the National Family Partnership took the
Red Ribbon Celebration nationwide. The focus of the celebration is to educate
individuals, families, and communities on the destructive effects of drugs and
the positive life choices available.
Help combat illegal drug use by
encouraging our students to pledge to be drug free. Students can pledge on Thursday, October 29th
at the SPARK’s office during their lunch period in room 1011-10th
floor or in the lobby 2nd period.
Thank you for supporting and bringing awareness to our Fashion
community. For more information, see Ms.
Nunez in room 1011.
