Penny Pile-Up News: We loved the snow days, but they sure slowed down our competition! Because of this, Mr. Bush has agreed to let us extend Penny Pile-Up through this Thursday. As of Monday, we had only raised a little over $150 for the local Christmas outreach. The sophomores were in the lead by a landslide, putting them in a good position to win the movie and popcorn day in the media center. In case you didn`t know, the sophomores have NEVER won Penny Pile-Up in the history of Shepherd High School! Traditionally, the seniors come in and rule the contest... but today the JUNIORS took the lead! Currently, the standings are as follows: 1st place-Juniors, 2nd place-Sophomores, 3rd place-Freshmen, and 4th place-Seniors. Today is DOUBLE DOLLAR DAY, so things could change dramatically! Each dollar you put in is worth 200 positive points for your class! Make a difference in your community--and for your class--today!


Posted: 16 Dec 2008 00:00

For those of you who may have missed the announcement, Mr. Gross has issued a challenge to all students to double the amount raised last year. We raised $750 so this year he is challenging us to raise $1500. That may sound like a lot, but we raised over $2200 the year before that! If we raise at least $1500 this year, Mr. Gross, Mr. Balzer, and Coach Creguer will dress up like Charlie`s Angels for a full day. I don`t think you`ll want to miss that! Freshmen, please be aware that you will only want to put pennies and dollars in the freshmen jugs. These earn you positive points. You will want to put your silver change in the other classes` jugs to take away from their points. Good luck! Show those upperclassmen what you`re made of! The proceeds of this event will go to the Shepherd Tri-Township Fire Dept. Christmas Outreach and to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Michigan in memory of Shepherd students who have died of this disease. Please give generously.

Nutritional News from the Blue Jay Cafe Crew: Caffeinated Chaos! Caffeine is a natural chemical found in tea leaves, coffee beans, cacao and cola nuts. Caffeine can boost your energy temporarily, and make you feel more awake and ready for the day. But a lot of caffeine can also lead to headaches, belly aches and shakiness that you probably don`t like. Apples, not caffeine, are better at waking you up in the morning. So go ahead, crunch away!

The Shepherd Food Service would like to celebrate National School Breakfast week March 3rd-7th. In doing so we would like to share some information we collected with you on eating a healthy breakfast. The word "breakfast" means to end a fast-a period of time without food. After you sleep for many hours, your body and brain run out of nutrients. Eating a good breakfast full of nutrients restores your energy so you have strength and staying power to do physical tasks better. Students who eat breakfast also find it easier to pay attention, think and solve problems and they have better memories. They also do better in class and better at physical activities than students who skip breakfast.

One thing that we talked about at the beginning of the year with all grades was that each of you represent yourself, your family, and your school. I want you to know that people do notice when you represent the school. The following note came this morning. "I just wanted to let you know what nice, friendly students I ran into while at Crystal Mountain. I am a local up here, and was watching my young daughter ski while waiting inside the conference center. These students (a sophomore, junior, and senior) were waiting for their bus to get ready to leave. The senior boy picked up my five year old`s toy truck and asked him how it worked. This lead to a nice conversation about how toys have changed, how computers are used in the classroom today, and how papers are written nowadays. We talked a bit about their stay here at Crystal. It is so nice to run into well-spoken young people. I just wanted to pass along my pleasure in seeing that !! They represented your school well; you should be proud. Thank you for reporesenting yourself, your family, and our school so well. It does make a difference. Mr. Bush
