Congrats to Arcadia's HOBY Recipients
HOBY Program description:
HOBY's flagship program, the State Leadership Seminar (LS), is designed to empower high school sophomores to recognize their leadership talents and apply them to become effective, ethical leaders in their home, school, and
community. Your high school's selected student attends our three- or four-day seminar to participate in hands-on leadership activities, meet leaders in your state, and explore their personal leadership skills, while learning how to lead others and make a positive impact in the community. Every spring, nearly 10,000 high school sophomores from across the country are chosen to represent their high school in HOBY State Leadership Seminars.
We are able to send three 10th grade students in June 2016. The faculty nominated and voted and the three winners are:
Mitchell Arndt
Jack Spier
Kyle Spier
Alternate: Max McCauley

Helping our Titan Families in Need
Yes, it's that time of year! If you would like to take on a charitable cause this holiday season, please consider donating a gift card for a deserving Titan family. Ms. Hanley works with Arcadia families every day and knows which ones would most benefit from your generous gift. ANY gift card is of value, but we have found that Fry's gift cards are particularly useful, because they sell everything from food to school supplies to health and beauty aids, and there are stores accessible to all. Again NO gift card is too small. Gift cards can be dropped off at the front desk in the Main Office of Arcadia. Thanks for considering this request!

Yearbook Update
Don't forget to order your student's yearbook. You can pay at the bookstore (checks made out to Arcadia High School) or
order online.
A yearbook is $70 second quarter, $75 third quarter, $80 until April, and $85 IF extra books are available in May. Only a limited number of extras are ordered after the final numbers are submitted to the printer in February, There is no guarantee that a student who did not pre-order a book will be able to get one at the end of the year, so make sure you order your yearbook soon.

Message from Mr. Mooney
Our Athletic Director
The Arcadia Titan athletes LOVE seeing loud, supportive fans at ALL athletic events. You don't have to have played a sport competitively to know how wonderful it is to feel the support of a well-attended student section. There are times that it can actually make the difference between winning and losing.
Because we truly embrace the AIA's policy of "Pursuing Victory With Honor," here's what we ask of attendees at all athletic contests:
- Attend as many games as you can, dress in school colors, be loud, have fun and support the Titans.
- Do not, however, use inappropriate language, badger officials or single out players on the other team.
- It's really simple, treat visitors the way we hope to be treated when we're on the road - respectfully. That is, after all, the Titan way!

Soldier Care Package Drive in Honor of Fallen Soldier
Hello, my name is Morgan Ash and I am a sophomore at Arcadia High School. The week of
December 7-11 I am doing a solider care package drive to honor a fallen solider named Jeremiah Robinson. He was serving in Iraq when his HUMVEE was hit by an explosive; he was awarded many metals including the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star medal. The donation boxes will be placed in the office and library all day and by the gates in the morning. Flyers will be passed out to every student which will have all the necessary supplies needed.
Thank you for your support! |
