School Clubs Update

Bonjour. Thought I'd just give a little update on some school clubs. As the school year begins to slow down, club meetings are fewer and fewer gradually winding down.

The French Club is having a movie afternoon on Thursday in room C-3. (Hence the Bonjour.) I take French and we've watched movies in class in French and it's hard to understand but improves your listening skills. I usually have a good idea about what's going on although we usually watch Shrek and I've seen that movie in English.

The Literary Club is now accepting submissions of poetry or short stories for the literary magazine. I'm really interested to see when this comes out. I've heard about it on the loud speaker last year and this year, but it was never told where you could get one. This time I want to get one and give it a good look through.

That's about it for now. Like I already said, I'm not sure how many more meetings clubs will have but I'll find something to blog about.

Parental Permission

Here's an article about a bill that was shot down. The bill would have required public middle schools and high schools to notify parents about students participation in extracurricular activities. There article was actually posted over a year ago, 2/15/07 to be exact. Yet, it still struck me as odd that such a bill would be proposed. By middle school and especially high school most students have matured, hopefully, and it should not be required of the school to tell parents where their kids are. Personally it seems like a silly bill, and there are other things that are more important that should be worked on. Read it and see what you think.
