The Principal’s
Message
I look forward to seeing many parents and friends this Saturday at the PTSA-sponsored Auction.
A special thank you is due to the champions of auction, our
co-chairs, Emily Thatcher and Kellie Araki. Their
leadership combined with a small army of dedicated parent volunteers, far too
numerous to mention here, are going to squeeze a spirited, year-long campaign
into one magical night. All of us at Raisbeck Aviation High School are grateful to
have the support of such a dedicated group of parents!
One
day before the auction, November 6, marks the end of our first academic quarter. Students, your progress report will appear in
Illuminate within the next two
weeks. Like the Apollo 11 crew that fired the service module engine to make their
first midcourse correction, the progress
report is the polestar to evaluate your learning and goals. Reflect
on your learning, jot down your insights, and use the information to kick-start
the conversation at your student-led conference—scheduled during Thanksgiving
week.
We
are now gearing up for recruitment of next year’s freshman class of
students. Our first Information Program for Eighth Graders & Parents will be held
on Thursday, November 12 from 6-9 PM. The next and final Information Night is
scheduled for Wednesday, December 2. Many of you will be asked to assist with
these programs as classroom ambassadors assigned to demonstrate your learning,
or as panelists on the Q&A program, or as tour guides or club/team representatives. Your teachers will make requests of you this
week. If invited to assist, you will be
treated to a pizza dinner before the program starts. If you are interested in serving as a
greeter, or a panelist for the Q&A session, please sign-up at the
receptionist’s desk by this Friday.
A
notable passing…
Dick Taylor, Richard “Dick” Taylor, 93, a former Boeing
engineer and test pilot who earned the title “Father of the 737,” died Oct. 4
in his Capitol Hill home. Dick’s
memorial services were held this past weekend, and his
remarkable life was captured in a celebratory photo-journalistic collage—viewable
at, http://www.rbogash.com/RWT/RWT.html
Last year, the Royal
Aeronautical Society sponsored a scholarship for RAHS students—in Dick Taylor’s
honor. The news of his passing is an
opportunity to begin thinking about the RAeS
Richard ‘Dick’ Taylor Scholarship Criteria:
◦
Must be a graduating Senior planning
to pursue a college degree related to aviation (engineering, aerospace studies,
computer science, etc.)
◦

explaining how Dick Taylor-Sr’s life has inspired you to pursue an education

Safety Issues
Lately,
more parents are doing unsafe U-turns in front of the bus zone area. Please do not make U-turns here, but turn
around at the west end of the building. Our
student drivers with learner permits need a positive example, and safe passage
as they drive in front of the school.
Thank you for your assistance with our effort to keep everyone safe.
Students,
for your safety, please adhere to cross walk signal on East Marginal Way South.
If the flashing amber crosswalk light is blinking, do
not start into the crosswalk. The school busses cannot take a free right turn
while students are in the crosswalk. If
a bus is not waiting to make a right turn, you likely walked up behind a
vehicle waiting and entered the driver’s blind spot. Thank you parents and students for helping us
with these two safety concerns.
Our
Success Dean—Mr.
Nick Anderson, returns to provide support services on Tuesday for Freshmen and
Wednesday afternoons for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors at 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. He will be in Mr. Hoehne’s room.
