Welcome back from your mid-winter
break! Whatever you may have done, I trust it included being outside to enjoy
our spring-like weather.
Our Skunkworks Robotics team spent most of their vacation completing
their robot and celebrating with an Ice Cream Social on Monday evening. The robot is now “bagged” for competition,
although work will continue on the practice robot to ensure that the team is as
well prepared as possible for their regional competitions. Good luck, Skunks!
Thanks to our amazing partner, Alaska Airlines, our seniors and ACE Club members will have
an opportunity to fly on a brand new
Boeing 737 airplane that Alaska will take receipt of in April or June. We are delighted that Alaska has again
selected our school for a delivery
flight! Details are now being
coordinated with Alaska and Boeing, including how each passenger will be
security checked, departure time from RAHS and arrival back to school, etc.
These details will be explained in a letter from me that will be on the reverse
side of a field trip permission form that you will soon receive. Stay tuned!
We are reminded daily that the flu season is still with us. Ms.
Hiranaka noted that many students return to school for one day—they are not
fully recovered, and then stay home for two more days. Our teachers will work with you for an
excused absence. Please remember that
your health must be your top priority.

Dear
Families and Students,
Thank
you to those of you who have indicated that you would be available to help at
the Ice Cream Social! Let me know your availability by sending me an email (see
below for address). Jobs include serving ice cream, set up, and lots of help
for clean up! We will need baked goods (i.e. brownies, cookies, - all
individual items to grab and go) the night of the social. We plan on serving
about 300 people. This is the same as last year as we are again excited to
include all of the other Highline School District FRC teams to this event.
Guests
will arrive at 6:00 p.m. to enjoy the ice cream sundaes. The event is held at
the Glacier campus—the site of our
practice field. Students will arrive
at 2:00 p.m. to help set up. Ice cream will be served from 6 p.m.-7 p.m. At
approximately 7:00 p.m., we need to move tables off of the practice field. The
goal is to have these moved and ready to go for a 7:15 p.m. program start.
This
venue is a bit challenging for an event of this type. However, with lots of
volunteers, we will be able to quickly transition from the food service to the main event,
the robots!
Thank you for your help and
support of our Skunks. If you have questions or are able to volunteer, please
email me at shawnwill2002@msn.com. See you on Monday afternoon the
Glacier Practice Field.

Quote of the Week— contributed by senior, Navath Nhan, and in honor of Black History Month.
"A
good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the
end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't
have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed."
