Morning Announcements - February 16, 2023

Good morning Euclid High School where we are Respectful, Responsible, and Engaged. Today is Thursday, February 16, 2023 and these are your morning announcements.

THE R-FACTOR - We do not control the events that happen to us but we CAN control our response to them!  I am responsible for my decisions and my behavior.  You are responsible for your decisions and your behavior.  I take ownership OF ALL MY CHOICES and ACTIONS, regardless of circumstance.  I always have a choice in my response!  Pressing pause, or counting to 10, or taking a deep breath before you react to something, helps in making the right choice!!  

It is time for our Black History Month fact of the day
Did you know that the youngest US soldier to die in combat was an African American?
a.    On June 7th 1969, at Quang Nam, Vietnam, Dan Bullock was killed in his bunker by the North Vietnamese, he was only 15 years old.
b.    Dan altered the date on his birth certificate when he was 14, and enlisted in the Marine Corps.
c.    He had only been in Vietnam for 3 weeks before being killed.
A section of Lee Avenue in Brooklyn was renamed after him and a state marker was erected in North Carolina where he was born to commemorate his sacrifice.

Students!  Do you want to play in the Student vs. Staff Basketball game in March?  Only 22 students have signed up so far!!!  Some of the teachers that are playing:  Mr. Howard, Mr. Kelly, Officer Powell, Mr. Toth, Mr. Santilli, and MORE!!!   Scan the QR code on the basketball posters around the school and fill out the form!  You must be referral free for the 3rd quarter to participate.  

Students- Loaner laptops are meant to be daily loaners. You are to return the laptop to room 375 by the end of the day. Parents or guardians of any student that has not returned the loaner laptop will be contacted. Loaners are not for the long term. They are to help you for a day or so. If you need a laptop for a longer period of time due to loss or damage of your issued Chromebook, pay your Chromebook insurance fee and you will be issued a new Chromebook in your name. Fees can be directly paid on Infinite Campus or at the treasurer's office in the cafeteria by the bathrooms. Fees don't go away. Every student is assessed a technology fee of $20 per year. The fee covers the use and routine maintenance of the Chromebook and is a fee that is added every year the student attends Euclid City Schools. All fees must be paid in full before a student can graduate or have their 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. Pay them now to keep up each year. Again, return the loaner laptop to room 375 at the end of each day. As always, do not leave your Chromebook or charger unattended. Thank you.

Sophomores!! The priority application for Career Tech programs closes THIS SUNDAY! Students who apply by Sunday night will be considered for placement into programs for next school year. To apply, go to lakeshorecompact.org or stop by the counseling office and se Ms. Hunt, Ms. Mattinson or Mrs. Miezin for help.

THE R-FACTOR - The R-Factor Mindset, Panthers must recognize that we do not control most of the events we encounter, My response is my choice, I earn outcomes by the quality of my response and E+R=O is the way life works. When peeling a part R-Factor Mindset one of the most difficult things to grasp is our lack of control. Every day we will experience a variety of events that will challenge us. We have the power to influence events and situations, but we do not control them. There will always be things outside of our control, and we have to choose the best R we can to get better outcomes.

Did you know that Martin Luther King Jr. came to Cleveland 15 times during the Civil Right Movement.
Martin used to refer to Cleveland as Alabama North because so many black Clevelanders were from Alabama.
In 1963, after being released from jail in Birmingham, Alabama he hopped on a plane and flew straight to Cleveland to fundraise for the kids who were stuck in jail after the infamous “kids march”, the police dogs and firehoses event that everyone has learned about!
Chances are some of us here at Euclid have family members who went to see him speak and pitched in a few dollars to help pay the bail money needed for the children of the kids march!!!

What does this situation require of me? Is a great question to ask, and often we do not ask this question enough. This is a question that should be asked internally before you decide to act. It’s a part of pressing pause. Taking the time to consider what is being required of you in a given situation buys you the time to respond with discipline. When you don’t take the time to ask yourself that very important question you are acting on default.

Morning Announcements - February 2, 2023

Good morning Euclid High School where we are Respectful, Responsible, and Engaged. Today is Thursday, February 2, 2023 and these are your morning announcements.

The Black History Month 2023 theme, “Black Resistance,” explores how "African Americans have resisted historic and ongoing oppression, in all forms, especially the racial terrorism of lynching, racial pogroms and police killings," since the nation's earliest days. African Americans have faced extraordinary obstacles to progress in the United States of America. Our ancestors have demonstrated tremendous discipline and a strength of response, to create better outcomes for us.

It is time for our Black History Month fact of the day!
Did you know that African Americans served in every major war in United States history?
In fact, dozens of African American naval crewmen, roughly 15% of the famous “Don’t Give Up the Ship”. The Battle of Lake Erie, helped to win the battle and turn the tide of the war against England in our favor.
This battle took place here in Ohio at Put-In-Bay, just off Cedar Point in Sandusky, during the War of 1812!

Ladies and gentlemen it’s time for Black History Month! In celebration, the ladies and males African-American Achievement groups will be hosting the first Culture Potluck on February 22, 2023 from 2:45 PM until 4:00pm. If you haven’t joined already, this event might change your mind. For more information, see Mr. York in room H240A or Ms.  Davis in room H130F.

Happy Black History Month scholars and staff! The LEAD Scholars are back with our annual Black History Door Decorating Contest. This year, we want to tie our theme to the Black History Assembly, "Black Excellence and Achievement: History in the Making". We are asking that each door represent our past as well as our present (i.e., Maya Angelou with Amanda Gorman, Wilma Rudolph with Allyson Felix or Jessica Beard, Thurgood Marshall with Ketanji Brown, etc...). We are looking for teams, consisting of no more than 3 students and a teacher, who are interested in designing/decorating their door. If you wish to participate or have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Davis (H130F) or Mrs. Walling (H279). Contest winners will be announced Thursday, February 23, 2023.
