VETERAN’S DAY ASSEMBLY In November, Vancouver Councilman Larry Smith is going to be the keynote speaker for Fort Vancouver High School’s annual Veterans Day Assembly on November 7th. We are also inviting veterans from the Vancouver community to partake of our annual Veterans Day potluck. The assembly will begin at 9:15 am with the potluck to follow. All veterans from the community are invited to attend. “MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING” Fort Vancouver High School Theater Department, with the help of Fort's Culinary Arts Program and Mcloughlin Middle School, will be hosting its first annual "CAKESPEARE!" In conjunction with the Portland Playhouse Theater, we will be hosting a Dessert Theater Performance of "Much Ado About Nothing" at Mcloughlin Middle School on November 13th, 14th, and 15th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Fort Vancouver High School's award winning Culinary Arts Department will provide delicious baked delicacies during intermission and Vancouver's best coffee shop, "The Rivermaiden," will be supplying Stumptown Coffee during the intermission. Tickets will be 10 dollars. FVHS Center for International Studies Update We are continuing our planning efforts to become a school-wide international studies program. We are proud of our diverse Fort community and we believe it’s important for all Fort Vancouver High School students to be fully prepared to compete, connect, and cooperate with others locally and globally. Becoming an international studies school will help us accomplish that goal. An international studies school is an environment where all students are becoming globally competent. Globally competent students are: Investigating the world by asking important questions and conducting research about locally and globally significant issues. Recognizing perspectives, both of others and themselves, to better understand interactions, situations, and events in our world. Communicating ideas in an appropriate manner to diverse audiences to positively impact understanding and collaborate in an interdependent world. Taking action, both personally and collaboratively, to positively contribute to local, regional, and global issues. Part of our transition to an international studies school includes partnering with the Asia Society and their International Studies Schools Network (ISSN). The ISSN is comprised of 30 schools around the United States. While each ISSN school is different, we are all committed to developing the global competence of all of our students. To learn more about the ISSN, go to http://asiasociety.org/international-studies-schools-network . For more information, please contact Allison Darke, Resource Coordinator for International Studies and World Language Programs, at (360) 313-4000 or [email protected] . Science Fair—The Scientific Method Fort's ChemClub is sponsoring a Science Fair for all interested students. Entry forms can be obtained in room 520. Completed projects must be submitted by Mon, Oct. 6th. Posters will be displayed the first day of parent teacher conferences (Thurs, Oct. 23rd). The theme of the fair is "The Scientific Method." Make sure you complete paperwork if you want to continue with clubs from last year or have an idea for a new club. Pick up the forms in the Security office. The deadline is Wednesday, October 1st. A Reminder: Most recent guidelines from the Clark County Health department. Children who become ill with a gastrointestinal illness (vomiting and/or diarrhea) should remain home for 48 hours after the last time they vomited or had diarrhea. Research has shown that the body can still shed the virus and infect others for 48 hours after the symptoms have resolved. The Flu vaccine is available NOW! According to the Centers for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, The Flu Vaccine is recommended for all school age children. The Flu vaccine is recommended to prevent illness, missed school, lost work time for parents and to decrease risk of grandparents, and infants becoming ill. Getting vaccinated is the single best way for people to protect not only children against flu, but their loved ones as well. INTERVENTION SPECIALIST Fort Vancouver's intervention specialist, Susan Peng-Cowan provides groups and support with students who are struggling with a myriad of issues related to alcohol & drug use. Concerned parents can use a toolkit as a resource at Partnership for Drug Free kids http://www.drugfree.org/the-parenttoolkit.
