Recap of Turkey Basket Drive

I would just like to start off with a big "Congratulations, Hazen" for all your hard work these past couple of weeks.
Hazen's final count of turkey baskets was 106, a tad short of our record set last year, but we should still celebrate for the baskets we did raise. Many families were extremely appreciative of our efforts.
The leadership class has pondered why this year was not as "successful" even though any drive that raises products/funds is considered successful. We realize that there was a lot of unfamiliarity with the drive considering the amount of new staff members this year. There should have been clearer communication on our part. We also think that the short notice played a key role in the lack of productivity for the duration of the drive. These are all things to remember for next year's.

Any comments/feedback from you guys? How'd your third period class do? Were your teachers familiar with the project?
Tell us how you feel about turkey baskets in general. Being one of the heads of this project, I would really value your opinion.

Regardless, I hope everyone had a great holiday. I look forward to the December festivities including Tolo and Winter Break! Hope to hear from you soon.

Walk with Champions Event!

Hey guys- Megan here :).
It's my pleasure to post our first news break on the blog.
Tell your fellow Highlanders about the site!

If you have not heard already Hazen High School is hosting an event for Special Olympics Washington called "Walk with Champions" on Sunday, December 7th from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Seward Park in Seattle.

The walk will be styled much like Relay for Life which takes place in June. We will walk the loop of the park (2.4 miles) together starting at 9 a.m. There will be speakers and a short program following with food. Everyone and anyone can sign up! So far over one hundred walkers have registered, most not being from Hazen High. I know you guys don't want to be outnumbered by other schools across the state when we're hosting the event! Bring your family, your friends, your neighbors, your dog! It'll be fun, easy, and you can receive service/civic hours for the event! It's NHS sponsored, as well!

To register visit: http://www.renton.wednet.edu/hazen/index.html
Click on the "Walk with Champions" link at the top of the page.
You can either mail in the forms, turn them into either myself (Megan Yuasa), Lorilyn Roller, or Lian Louie; OR into Mr. McCabe's room (243). It's not too late! We are still accepting forms even though the due date listed on the form says November 18th.

Forms are also available on either myself, Lorilyn, or Lian; or in Mr. McCabe's room.

*All donations/money will be turned in at the actual event. All proceeds to benefit Special Olympics WA*

Thanks guys! Please spread the word and we hope to see you there in a couple weeks!!!
