Principal's Message
Humor Cleanse
There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.
~ Charles Dickens
When was the last time you laughed so hard that you thought your sides would burst? It's so much fun and can be so healing. When one person starts to laugh, it's almost impossible not to laugh, too. As Dickens writes, it is irresistibly contagious. Laughter breaks down barriers. It's a common language. It washes away stress and spreads goodwill. Humor and laughter can shake away cobwebs in the brain, shake loose worries and distractions. We are better able to tackle whatever job or difficulty we are facing. So, look for ways to inject some humor into your home and laugh with your children.
With something to think about . . .
Sincerely,
Daniel P. Weishar
Principal

Counseling Corner
Seniors
, if you need
transcripts for colleges/Regent's scholarship
please go to the Counseling Office and fill out a transcript request (except for BYU who just needs your state student ID) and leave it in the Counseling Office. Even though you've been accepted to a college, the colleges require a final transcript with last quarter grades and graduation date on them. We don't mail or email final transcripts out, so you need to be sure to come in and pick them up. The transcripts will be ready for parent or student to pick up starting June 11. Starting July 1 PARENTS CANNOT request or pick up information/transcripts for their students that have, or should have graduated.
Counselors are collecting information for any
scholarships/awards senior students
have received for post-secondary education. This could include academic/merit scholarships, talent-based scholarships, art/writing contests, and any other form of scholarship or award used for post-secondary education. Even if the student has been offered multiple scholarships but does not intend to use all of them, we want to know about all of it. This information will be shared in a printed program at our
Senior Recognition Night on Wed. May 16 at 7:00pm
. Parents/students should use this link to submit scholarship information:
https://goo.gl/forms/NRVRgoikJoosQrQ63
Please contact Bree Toone for questions.

uvu.edu/concurrent
and
HOPE PANTRY
Student Council is starting a
Hope Pantry
that will provide for students in need at our school. The plan is that as students meet with their advocate or counselor and a need is identified, that the counselor or advocate can take the student to the pantry and provide them with the supplies they need. Student Council would like to stock the pantry with basic hygiene products such as deodorant, brushes, hair ties, toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine products, shampoo, conditioner, and bars of soap. Lightly used clothing, such as pants, shirts, jackets, and formal wear for dances. They would also appreciate new clothing including underwear and socks. School supplies and non-perishable food will also be included in the pantry. Because this is a new project, we ask for your help to stock these supplies. If you are willing to help out our cause, please donate any of the above products by bringing them to the Front Office. Thank you!

Seniors and other students who will be moving out of Alpine School District for the next school year, your school email will be shut down July 1.
