With the new year in full swing, there are numerous ways to make new friends and connections in Brooklyn. Some of the ways are through various clubs and organizations that are mainly student-led. Brooklyn has numerous clubs, and each week going forward, a different club will be under the spotlight to inform the student body of possible opportunities.

Moving along, with February coming up, Heritage Week will soon be underway. Start preparing for the heritage parade, and be ready for something new this year. There is going to be a panel run in the auditorium, and stories will be heard from many who have come to America and what life is/was like in their home countries.

Next, Student Council will be decorating the hallways once again. Be ready for all of the colors, and remember to represent your grade level. This year, each grade level gets a different continent, and if you take a picture with each continent set up and show Mrs. Bader, you will receive a prize. Stay tuned for more information.

Did someone say Prom? With the new year here, preliminary talks about prom are already beginning. The confirmed prom date is May 22 at Windows On The River. Interested in helping plan it? Mrs. Holko is hosting a prom committee meeting on Wednesday, January 21, at 3:05 in room 271. Also, make sure to check the senior and junior Google Classrooms for the Malley’s chocolate fundraiser coming up to help earn a discounted ticket.

Lastly, all W.I.N. blocks are starting independent reading. Make sure to have your books ready, and do not forget your bookmarks. Each Tuesday will have a teacher’s favorite book. Today is Mrs. Bader’s, whose favorite book is Sunrise on the Reaping.

Here is the upcoming schedule for January

• January 19: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (No School)
• January 21: Prom Committee Meeting with Mrs. Holko (3:05 – Room 271)

Have an amazing week, Hurricanes!
