Morning Announcements - January 23, 2023

Good morning Euclid High School where we are Respectful, Responsible, and Engaged. Today is Monday, January 23, 2023 and these are your morning announcements.

What is your plan for building the skills you need for the life you want to live? By using the R-Factor you will get closer to living a life that you are responsible for, and not a life you have to live. Getting the life you want is not magic. It’s the routine application of taking responsibility for the decisions you make and doing your best to make those decisions with discipline. None of us are perfect and are all working toward becoming the best version of ourselves. The process of building elite skills is slow, small and daily. Take control of your R, and do the work to build your skills.

Have you insured your Chromebook? When students request a Chromebook replacement, if you haven’t paid your insurance fee you won’t be able to  get one. Never leave your Chromebook unattended, treat it like your cell phone and don’t put it down and go get lunch. Many Chromebooks are starting to "walk away" from the students they are assigned too. Do not forget to log into IC and pay this year's $20 annual technology fee. It is not just for when a Chromebook gets damaged. The fee covers the use and routine maintenance of the Chromebook and is a fee that is added every year you attend Euclid City Schools. All fees must be paid in full before you can graduate or have your transcripts transferred to another district, so it is best to pay fees each year rather than let them accumulate. If a Chromebook does get damaged, the technology fee will cover the first repair only. After that, the family is responsible for the cost of any further damage or replacement.

Key Club will be meeting Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Students in the Key Club participate in numerous volunteer projects, learn leadership skills, and have fun. Key Club members also volunteer alongside Northern Kiwanis members at fundraisers and service projects. At EHS Key Club will assist in service projects that will improve the EHS community.

The SAVE Environmental club would like to encourage all high school students to reduce their plastic consumption.  Plastic does not biodegrade. Instead it breaks down and it's getting into our drinking water!!! Most plastics are made out of oil, and the production of plastic is connected to climate change!!! You can reduce plastic consumption by using a reusable water bottle or cup.  You can recycle plastic by taking it home with you or dropping it off in the box in the 230 pod.   Want to learn more? Stop by the SAVE meeting on Thursdays in room 230E.

The results of the January Ohio Math League contest are in. Congratulations to William Jones who bounced back to finish in first place with 52 points. Neo Knue was second, Taylor Barwick third, Kamreron Johnson fourth, and Easton Harris was fifth. For the year William is first, Taylor is second. Neo third, Toni Kincaid fourth and Talasi Robinson is fifth. The next contest will be in February.

Bring out the best in you by pressing pause, getting your mind right, and cutting BCD out of your life, and have a great day at The Euclid High School.
