Yearbook

Seniors! Did you take your senior portraits after the November 24th deadline?  If so, you might not be included on the disc of pictures sent in by Prestige Portraits.  Swing by room 1866 and check in with Ms. Schulte to make sure you don't miss out on being featured in the yearbook.

No Place for Hate

Mae Carol Jemison (born October 17, 1956) is an American engineer, physician and former NASA astronaut.  She became the first black woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour.  Jemison joined NASA's astronaut corps in 1987.  She orbited for nearly eight days on September 12-20, 1992.  She is also a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority!

Frederick Douglass "Fritz" Pollard and Bobby Marshall were the first two African American players in the NFL in 1920.  Fritz Pollard became the first African American head coach in the National Football League.  Pollard went to Brown University, majoring in chemistry.  He was the first black football player at Brown University.  He became the first black running back to be named to Walter Camp's All-America team.

No Place For Hate

Black History Month was created in 1926, when historian Carter G. Woodson announced the second week of February to be "Black History Week".  This week was chosen because it coincided with the birthday of Abraham Lincoln on February 12 and of Frederick Douglass on February 14, both of which dates, black communities had celebrated together since the late 19th century.  It became Black History Month in February 1976.  The primary emphasis was placed on encouraging the teaching of the history of African Americans in the nation's public schools.

At a time when many schools barred their doors to African Americans, HBCUs or Historically Black Colleges and Universities offered the best and of the only opportunity for a higher education.  HBCUs educated African Americans almost exclusively from 1865 to the 1950s, prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1965.  Prairie View A&M University, Texas Southern University, Grambling State and Morehouse are some examples of HBCUs.

The Cadette social officers won 1st place.  The Cadette line officers received 1st place for all three of their routines which earned them the title of Grand Champions.  They were also the highest scoring officer line of the whole competition earning them the title of Overall Grand Champions.

The Crimson Cadettes competed 4 dances and received 1st place for every dance they did which earned them the title of Grand Champion.  The Cadettes had the highest scoring routine of the competition with their team pom.  The Cadettes were the highest scoring team of the whole competition and were named the Overall Grand Champion team.

This coming weekend the Cadettes will be hosting a regional here at Cy Woods and then they will continue on in their competition season the following weekend.

Congratulations to the Crimson Cadettes on your sweep for your first competition of the year!

Ladies Soccer

Last night your Lady Wildcat varsity soccer team leapt passed the Lobos in a 1-0 victory.  The lone goal came from a strong header put away by the Junior Captain.  These Wildcats would like to personally thank all the teachers who came out last night for our teacher appreciation game.  Thanks again for all you are doing during these difficult times - we see you and appreciate it all!

These Cats are back in action against district foe Cy Ranch on Friday at home - we would love for our Wildcat peers to come help cheer us on to a victory!  JV begins at 5:30 and Varsity at 7:30 - hope to see you there!
