Movie Night

Remember, our movie night is April 1st!

Poll of the Month

Just for my own curiosity, I added a poll as to which science is viewers' favorite. Also, I think this is a good way to ascertain if anyone is actually reading this blog. :-P

Study Zone

Because SNHS can tutor 3 times a week now because of study zone, the honor chord requirement has been upped to 6 tutoring sessions instead of 3.

Study Zone

Ok, now that we have the Study Zone, SNHS members can tutor there on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Talk to Jon, Ms. Sams, or Mrs. Liotti if you want to take part in this.

Global Health Issues

Last Friday was when the students from Robert Wood Johnson Medical school came to speak about global health issues, such as universal healthcare, trachoma, diarrhea, and fistula. Those of you who attended, remember to hand in your evaluation forms.

Inductions

Remember, we have our practice inductions after school on December 1st and the real thing on December 2nd.

EPA Speakers--Coral Reefs

Ok, so we had speakers from the EPA come and teach us about coral reefs, their effects on the environment, and our effects on them. To cut a long story short, greenhouse gases, water pollutants, and more direct effects of man (i.e. swimmers trodding on them, boats' anchors whacking them) are resulting in the destruction of all reefs worldwide, and it is absolutely imperative that mankind does something about out ASAP. If the reefs go extinct, a lot of marine life will go without habitats.

So far, the only solution we can really try to put into effect are the 3 Rs: Reuse, Refuse, and Recycle. Basically, the less junk that wind up in the water (including gases and other water-soluble substances such as soda, believe it or not), the better it is for the reefs.
