Prefect Announcements

Tues., March 9, 2010

 

Good morning Brooklyn Tech.  Today is Tuesday, March 9th and day 2 of the 10-day cycle.   And now, I would like to ask everyone to please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance:

 

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.  And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty, and Justice for All.

 

You may be seated.  And now for today’s announcements:

1. Sometime ago, Ms. Delahanty nominated Kudzai Tunduwani for a program called NYLC, a leadership conference in Washington D.C. During the final three days, all students selected someone from their group to be a candidate for speaker of the house and from there they went through three sets of interviews. Kudzai was selected as the speaker out of 204 students and got to run a model congress session at the department of the interior in D.C. Congratulations to Kudzai.

2. Credit Recovery Programs will be distributed during prefect on Wednesday. Speak to your guidance counselor if you have any questions.

To all sophomores, that means that is time for you to start thinking about your Major of choice. There will be two conferences.

12. Did you know? Did you know that the English and Science Departments at Brooklyn Tech create their own periodic assessments to evaluate student skills in an attempt to help modify student academic goals and expectations. Academic Expectations. That’s one of the categories that NYC uses to evaluate your school. This is Your School, so use Your Voice.
