So You Think You Can Dance?

Prove it at our Winter Dance!!!! On Friday, January 25, 2008, 6th graders will be dancing 3:05-5:30 p.m. and 7th & 8th graders will be dancing 6:00-8:00 p.m. Only HTMS students will be allowed to attend this dance.

Tickets will be on sale Jan. 22-25 during homeroom. Tickets are $5.00 each. Tickets will be on sale at the door for $7.00. Buy your tickets early so you can crank that Soulja Boy on the dance floor.

Remember the rules. Remember dress code will be enforced. This is not a formal dance. Mrs. Faust made it clear that you should wear the same clothes that you would wear to Sunday school. Be on your best behavior so the administration could give us more dances.



__Winter Dance was melting from the Hot Hewitt Spirit!!!__

HTMS was jumping on Friday at our Winter Dance. Teachers and students were enjoying themselves in many ways, if they weren’t dancing; they were talking or laughing at the dancers who had moves. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed the dance. I feel bad for the people who didn’t come.

Apparently, students loved the dance. A sixth grader named Natalie said the dance was off the chain! She said the music was so great she couldn’t stop dancing. A seventh grader name Erin said when you come to Hewitt, you better be ready to dance and have fun. An eighth grader name Maria said she can’t wait until the next dance, I hate that this is my last year here.

This year’s Winter Dance was a memorable one! I wish everyone would have come and had fun while supporting the SCA.

Young and Old come together for a Golden visit!!! __ SCA is taking a trip to the Golden Living Center in Trussville. They will be visiting the elderly adults making Valentine’s Day cards with them. Mrs. Lincoln Stated at their meeting on Jan.29, we can’t just do things around the school only, we have to reach out to the community. Their visit to the Golden Living Center will be on February 10, 2008. The members of SCA are enthusiastic about going to the nursing home to show that HTMS loves them and wishes them and their families a Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Love is spreading around the community, so watch out for Cupid, the love doctor.



__ The “GOLDEN” Review!!! __ Last Sunday, February 10, 2008, SCA took a trip to the Golden Living Center in Trussville. They went to the nursing home around the Valentine Holiday to show HTMS loves them and wishes them and their family a Happy Valentine’s Day. A member and a sponsor of SCA gave us their experience and review on how the visit went. Kelly Anne said, “The trip to nursing home was very good. At the nursing home she said they made cards for the elderly and talked to them. She thinks SCA brighten up their day because they may not have anybody that visits them and it could have made them feel good. She also said she would consider the trip Golden because it made her feels better that she did something for someone else. She also said she would vote on going to the nursing home next year because it was fun! She lastly said it was a good experience for SCA to do something for other people.” Mrs. McGuyer said, “The trip to the nursing home was great! She thought the students had fun, too. She said they made Valentine Cards for the residents, they worked in the dining room, and they played cards and dominoes with the residents. She also thought they SCA brighten up the resident’s day. She said some of the residents may not have many visitors and they loved when young people stop by for a visit. Like Kelly Anne, She would consider the trip Golden because a lady that couldn’t make cards, had a funny side and talked about other residents. Also, Mrs. McGuyer said she would vote on going to the nursing home next year because it gives young people the chance to hear great stories about the…good ole days! Lastly Mrs. McGuyer said this was a good experience for SCA. She said it reminded her to be thankful for her family and to cherish the times they spend together! A quote she said was //Life is short but memories last forever!!!// For the interview from a member and sponsor of SCA, the trip to The Golden Living Center in Trussville was really “GOLDEN” after all!!!

SCA is planning this year’s Spring Fling at this very moment. Spring has already arrived and Spring Fling is around the corner. Spring Fling is a time where HTMS students set aside the work, the grades, and the pencils and have a great time with your friends and riding wild rides. SCA have planned for Spring Fling to occur on Friday, May 9, 2008. Mrs. Lincoln, one of SCA’s sponsors, said it will be bigger and better than last year. There will be 10 rides, more than last year, a DJ, t-shirts, and for 8th grade only… a dance!!! Also, P.E. will be participating by all period will have a field day!!! This will be an RED HOT HUSKY CARNIVAL!!!

Spring Fling t-shirts will be your ticket into the fun. So buy your shirts and support SCA!!!

SCA have been planning Spring Fling for the student body’s entertainment, but the only question left, “Is the student body going to support SCA?”

__ SCA UNCOVERED!!! __ What do SCA’s officers and senators do after elections? The SCA’s officers and senators complete their duties and fulfill their purpose stated in their constitution. They work on projects throughout the school and the community during the school year they’re in office. There are many members and duties of SCA that unites them as a team. The President is to preside over all SCA meetings, name committees, serve as chairman of the executive committee, and meet with the administration to obtain a monthly activity calendar. The Vice-President performs the duties of the president in their absence, be a standing member of all committees, and will organize all student body assemblies. The Secretary is responsible for all written correspondence. The Treasurer is responsible for a monthly report on the SCA account. The Sergeant-At-Arms is to maintain order according to parliamentary procedures at all SCA meetings to promote an atmosphere conducive to conduct business. The Chaplin will provide inspirational thoughts at school programs and serve as chairman of Student of the Week and Character Education. Senators are to represent their grade level in a respectable manner. SCA participate in projects and accomplish many of things each year.
