Morning Announcements - February 24, 2023

Good morning Euclid High School where we are Respectful, Responsible, and Engaged. Today is Friday, February 24, 2023 and these are your morning announcements.

THE R-FACTOR - Panthers use their Strength of relationships to create inclusive communities. We establish an environment where everyone feels welcome. Work collectively to form a sense of belonging in a supportive environment. Ensure that all voices are heard and represented. What is the soil like in your 20 square feet? Are you someone where others can grow around? Or do people wither in your presence? Choose an R, that gets the best O for you and others.

It is time for our Black History Month fact of the day

a. That’s right, Hiram Thomas was a popular chef in Saratoga, NY.
b. One day a picky customer wanted Thomas’s French fried potatoes cut thinner, so he cut them thinner
c. The customer was still upset so he cut them thinner again.
d. The customer was pleased, and soon after other customers came to the restaurant to get Thomas’s potato chips.

The LEAD scholars want to thank everyone who participated in the BHM door decorating contest.  There were so many great doors, which made our decision so very difficult.  Between the creativity, thoughtfulness and dedication to this year's theme, there were 2 doors that stood out from the rest.  We want to congratulate both of our winning doors! Mr. Burkart along with Jada Asante and Aamani Oatman AND Mr. Cleaver along with Michaya Wallace and Destini Tucker. Honorable mentions for Ms. Kaiser and Ms. Jones. The LEAD Scholars will reach out to you regarding your prizes.
