Questions for Ground Control

OLD ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT ARE STILL RELEVANT Parents, students must not stay at school after 6 PM unless they are directly supervised and participating in a school event/club or extracurricular activity. This is to ensure student safety and adult supervision while on the school campus. If you are unable to pick your child up before 6 PM on a regular school day, please arrange a carpool (connect with the PTSA) or make other arrangements for transportation. For liability reasons, your child must be supervised or find a way home by 6PM. Thank you! Youth and Government Come join RAHS's only politics and government club!

Please do not make U-turns here, but turn around at the west end of the building. Our student drivers with learner permits need a positive example, and safe passage as they drive in front of the school. Thank you for your assistance with our effort to keep everyone safe. Students, for your safety, please adhere to cross walk signal on East Marginal Way South. If the flashing amber crosswalk light is blinking, do not start into the crosswalk. The school busses cannot take a free right turn while students are in the crosswalk. If a bus is not waiting to make a right turn, you likely walked up behind a vehicle waiting and entered the driver’s blind spot. Thank you parents and students for helping us with these two safety concerns.

The Principal’s Message Our MLK assembly speaker, alumni teacher extraordinaire, Dr. Katims, touched us. His message, lifted from Dr. King’s “Beyond Vietnam” speech, was topped by an ingenious application for our community. He implored us to act like Dr. King, individually and collectively, and then connected the legacy of RAHS’ inaugural classes to the students who will be admitted under the new application process. Dr. Katims traced the welcoming, and indivisible grade-level culture of RAHS to our alumni. Speaking on behalf of them, he said, “They worried about you, and wondered whether or not you would mess it up. Just like some of you are worried about next year’s students messing up what you have come to enjoy.” I appreciate Dr. K’s analysis and charge for the RAHS community. Daily investments in one another strengthens our culture. Our inherited and wonderful legacy survives by being nourished through individual and collective action. I take delight in seeing the practical ways you move to encourage each other, seize the initiative to connect with those who might otherwise remain invisible, and always remembering to do your best. That stance honors and models Dr. King’s example. He put it this way, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” In the end, it is up to us to answer that question, and take purposeful action. One of our long-term industry partners, Alaska Airlines, is the corporate example of always doing something good for others. Last week, Alaska Airlines supplied two, round trip, first-class vouchers for next year’s PTSA auction, and 20 round-trip tickets for our Sports of the Mind Teams! Alaska Airlines’ generous donation is unmatched. The commitment is similar in scope to their all-star Captains, John Sluys and William Korin, who volunteer time at RAHS to invest in the next generation of commercial pilots. Thank you Alaska Airlines! Seniors, keep your eyes open the 2016 Scholarship Packet. The final edits are underway, and the Packet is being prepared for release on February 10. Last Thursday, I enjoyed a surprise visit by Robert Kodama, member of the Highline Amateur Radio Club. He brought great news, and shared that the club wanted to sponsor a first-time scholarship for RAHS. Their award is aimed seniors who hold a current amateur license. I also want to thank the handful of RAHS students who recently earned their Ham Radio licenses, and elevated the interest of and response from the Highline Amateur Radio Club. Finally, please join me in congratulating RAHS Poetry Out Loud winner, Josiah Hokanson, and runner up, Charleisha Cox, for their accomplishments! Mr. Storer sponsored our inaugural Poetry Out Loud competition, and by doing so, offered students an opportunity to develop their memorization and presentation skills. A special thank you is due to all the students, staff, and parents, who came out to support last Thursday’s competition. The Principal’s Round of Applause—acknowledging those who make RAHS a better place. Dr. Katims—for returning to RAHS and inspiring us during the MLK assembly. Ashley Balbuena, Braeden Swanson, Brynne Hunt, Catie Stukel, Jessi Mau, Josh Buenbrazo, Josh Sherbrook, Julia Toone, Karl Nielsen, Makoto Take, Matt Vredevoogd, Najma Hashi, Senay Emmanuel, Sophia Gut, Toshi Take, Uyen Tran, and Zahnae Aquino-for organizing and sponsoring our MLK Day Assembly. Ms. Dyer—for leading and supporting RAHS’s first pep band. Alyssa Ryser, Caden Gobat, Evan Grilley, Felix Bosques, Henry Crockett, Jackson Delaney, Marcus Cline-Hill, Melena Seidel, Nathan Tonella, Reece Keller, and Spencer Slaton—for bringing their musical passion and instruments to perform as the RAHS Pep Band. Charliesha Cox, Chelsea Ho, David Hadley, Evan Frisholz, Heidi Yagen, Josiah Hokanson, Katie Taylor, Max Andrew, and Ruby Wharton—for participating in RAHS’ first Poetry Out Loud Competition.

Quote of the Week— The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward. Amelia Earhart— on January 11, 1935, Earhart became the first person to fly solo from Honolulu to California.
