Good morning, Brooklyn. There are not a lot of events coming up this month, but the ones that are important.
So, let us get started.
We are about halfway through the third quarter, so make sure to be on top of your schoolwork and keeping up with grades and requirements. Remember, the third quarter ends one month from tomorrow, March 14.
A big thank you to everyone who participated in a great Heritage Week! It is always nice to see the many different cultures and backgrounds that are represented in the Brooklyn City Schools. A special thank you, also, to all of the teachers and administrators who made this event possible.
Here are some other items coming up.
First, for those who received notification of the Honor Roll/Merit Roll reward, please make sure to complete the Google form no later than this Friday (February 16) in order to participate next Thursday. For any questions, please contact Mrs. Bader at Jacinta.Bader@bcshurricanes.org.
Next, Volunteer Easter Bunnies are needed! The post-prom committee is hosting an easy job for Community Service hours and a chance to spread joy in the community. If you have time available after 9:00 p.m. on March 30 and are willing to pass out Easter eggs, please contact the names and numbers below.
- Melissa Dyson: (440) 472-8828
- Michelle Nieves: (216) 526-2384
Want to build your resume and earn money at the same time? Well, the opportunity for a good resume builder and a $100 stipend is here. There are rolling admission openings for those interested in becoming High School Voter Registration Fellows. You will be trained and will help register students to vote.
Here is a statement from Turnup Activism:
“This opportunity is fully remote and will engage students, either individually or on teams, to register voters at their high school. The time commitment is flexible and allows students to tailor their voter registration initiatives to the unique needs of their community. Each student/team is trained by experienced organizers on voter registration, is sent all the materials they need to host a drive and maintains direct contact with one of our staff supervisors throughout the process!”

Finally, applications for the Ohio PTA scholarships are here. Every year, the Ohio PTA awards $500 scholarships to students throughout the state. There are three different scholarship categories.
1. Academic Scholarship – For students attending a four-year college or university
2. Post-Secondary/Certification – For students attending a two-year college, trade school, or tech school
3. Special Education – For students serviced with an IEP or 504 Plan to attend a college or university
The deadline for the scholarship applications is MARCH 1. They can be completed online or on paper. You can get paper applications from the main office.
If you are applying, you MUST send an email to Mr. Ross in order for your transcript to be formally sent.
