Charity-of-the-year fundraising event cut short

For the 2010 charity-of-the-year, the SHS Student Council chose the Walker’s Point Youth and Family Center, which offers services for runaway, pregnant and troubled teenagers. However, several planned fundraising events were cancelled.

Results from the Online Youth Risk Behavior Survey (OYRBS), a survey that students in 6th through 12th grade completed in December, were recently released. In almost every statistic the survey measured, SHS got a better percentage than the national percentage for the same statistic.

The Ripples editors graded different facets of this school year, from respect to budget cuts to sports. See how well SHS fared in our annual report card.
