Needs Your Help

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on

your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy

who'll decide where to go." (Dr. Seuss)

Senior Information We are looking forward to a beautiful graduation at Clemson’s Littlejohn Coliseum on May 31

st,

and we know that you are excited about your big day. There are a number of points that are key

to making your graduation the DIGNIFIED and happy event that you deserve. Our goal is to make

this a time of respectful celebration so that everyone may have his or her individual moment to be

recognized.

You must attend all three graduation practices – the roll will be checked. NO EXCEPTIONS! If you

are not in attendance at each practice for the entire time, you will NOT be allowed to take part in

graduation. Mrs. Hilton is the only one who can excuse any absences from practice. Appropriate

school dress is expected, and you must wear your school ID. No visitors are permitted at practice,

including children.

We will give out many important items during practice on May 24th. You must have your school

ID to receive these.

Practice will last as long as necessary. It all depends on you. If we get cooperation from the Senior

Class, we can be finished by about 11:00 at Hanna. Another school follows us at Littlejohn on

Wednesday the 29th, so we must be out on time. Being tardy to practice will just prolong the

length of practice for the others. Having to go to work is not an acceptable excuse to leave

practice early!

Some of you will have to clear obligations with various teachers before you can get your diploma.

Names of those who have outstanding fees will be called out each day of practice. If you do not

clear all obligations by Wednesday, May 29th at 8:15 AM, your diploma will be removed from

your diploma cover and held in the office until all monies are paid. There will be long lines at that

time, so clear your fees EARLY! Also, don’t forget that we have practice on May 29th, NO

PRACTICE on the 30th, and GRADUATION on the 31

st.

GRADUATION – May 31st

Graduation ceremonies begin at 3:30 PM - whether or not you and/or your guests are there! For

graduation, all Seniors need to report to the ballroom area of the South Colonnade of Littlejohn

Coliseum NO LATER THAN 2:00! Traffic will be very congested (there is a baseball tournament at

Clemson that day), so you need to plan to ARRIVE EARLY. Be sure to bring your cap, gown, and

tassel. You should be dressed appropriately for graduation. If you choose to dress inappropriately,

you will not be allowed to march, and you will have to pick up your diploma at the school on

Monday, June 3rd. Appropriate dress is:

Men – dark trousers (navy or black) ABSOLUTELY NO JEANS; dark dress shoes,

dark socks, white shirts, dark necktie or bowtie, cap, gown, tassel

Women – black dresses or black dress pants and black blouse, black low-heeled

Page 3: 5/21/13 Parent Newsletter # 56 Hanna Grad Wendie Walls ... · PDF file5/21/13 Parent Newsletter # 56 Hanna Grad Wendie Walls Cheek ... Frances J. & Louis A. Kitching—Glenn Padgett

shoes, cap, gown, and tassel. Absolutely no flip-flops of any kind!

As we will practice, graduates will enter through the tunnel on the floor of the Coliseum in two

lines. Remember that if you are in the right line, you line up in regular numerical order (lowest to

highest, i.e. 1-15) for each row. If you are in the LEFT LINE, you should line up HIGHEST TO

LOWEST (i.e. 30-16) for each row before you enter. At the end of the ceremony, Junior Marshals

will lead you out, starting with the first row, just as they did at the Awards Night.

***Please let your family and friends know that it is our desire that the graduation ceremony be

one that is dignified and appropriate as we honor our seniors. We respectfully request that those

who are invited to this ceremony refrain from outbursts, use of noisemakers, and any other

activities that may disrupt the ceremony. Applause is the only appropriate display for guests.

Crafts Photography will be taking photographs of those who purchase the service ahead of time.

Flyers will be given out at practice.

Creative Video will also be taping the entire graduation ceremony. They will sell these videos for

$20. You should pre-order if you want a video. Order forms will be available during this Senior

Meeting and at the Civic Center the day of graduation.

Furman Band and Orchestra Camps

Furman still has some openings for their Band and Orchestra camps being held from June

9-14. They are in need of double reeds, clarinets, horns, trombones, and percussion

students. They are accepting applications through this week. The online link for this

summer program is https://app.furman.edu/BandOrchestraCamp/ or you may contact

Les Hicken at [email protected].

Warning about Bus Stops

Please be aware… two students had a man try to pick them up while they were waiting

at an Anderson 5 bus stop this morning. The bus stop location was Greenland /

Greenleaf in the Greenbriar subdivision near Robert Anderson Middle School. They

described the man as a white male in his forties driving a silver 4-door pick-up with dark

Page 10: 5/21/13 Parent Newsletter # 56 Hanna Grad Wendie Walls ... · PDF file5/21/13 Parent Newsletter # 56 Hanna Grad Wendie Walls Cheek ... Frances J. & Louis A. Kitching—Glenn Padgett

tinted windows, and the person was described as a black male probably in his 40s with a

closely shaven head. The incident occurred around 6:35 this am. The man drove past

the children twice, once stopping to ask if the girl wanted to ride. She ran back into her

house but didn’t tell her parents. She returned to the bus stop when she saw another

student there. Other schools/students should be vigilant in case there is a reoccurrence.

Bus for Littlejohn Graduation Practice

The bus transporting the seniors to Clemson on 5/29/13 for practice will be leaving at

7:30 am as per Katelyn Davis.

Drennan Still Receiving Honors/Awards

Hanna Senior Midfielder Chelsea Drennan added to her already impressive list of

accolades when, earlier today, she was named the Gatorade South Carolina Soccer Player

of the Year. Minutes later she was named the South Carolina Coaches Association for

Women’s Sports Player of the Year, an honor she is receiving for the third time.

In all, over the past four years, Chelsea has been honored with the following:

All Region 1-4A – 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013

All State – 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013

4A State Championship Game MVP – 2012

SCCAWS Player of the Year – 2011, 2012, 2013

Gatorade SC Player of the Year – 2013

National Soccer Coaches Association of America All American – 2012 (2013 TBA)

All Underclassmen Should Return Blue

Sheets

This Friday, May 24, all underclassmen should return the blue forms that contain the

class schedule selected in student IGP meetings for next year’s classes. Students and

parents are asked to review the selection of classes. Keep in mind that class assignments

will be based on a variety of factors, such as the demand for particular classes, the time

frame in which classes are offered, the classes each student is required to take for

graduation/college entrance, and prerequisite grade requirements.

Once these forms are reviewed, the student should return the form to his/her first block

Page 11: 5/21/13 Parent Newsletter # 56 Hanna Grad Wendie Walls ... · PDF file5/21/13 Parent Newsletter # 56 Hanna Grad Wendie Walls Cheek ... Frances J. & Louis A. Kitching—Glenn Padgett

“B” day teacher. The deadline is Friday, May 24, 2013. If you or your child would like

to make changes to this class schedule, you should mark through the classes you no

longer want and neatly write the new classes beside it. Update the contact information

on the sheet if it is not correct. Not all changes will be approved. If you do not make

changes and/or fail to turn this sheet back in, it will be assumed that the class schedule is

correct. Sheets should be returned whether or not you make changes. The classes

requested are not guaranteed because of possible conflicts and other scenarios that can

affect the schedule. Once final schedules are created this summer and the appropriate

faculty hired, it will not be possible to make changes. This is your opportunity to make

any needed changes. Personal preferences cannot be accommodated – requesting certain

teachers, selecting certain lunch periods, etc.

Band

Band Banquet will be Thursday, May 23, at 7:15 pm in the mall at TLH. The menu

includes BAR-B-QUE from the Smoking Pig. We hope you can join us as we celebrate

the conclusion of another great year and honor our senior band members. Our first year

members will be given certificates for their Block H letters and officers for next year will

be announced. All of our seniors will be recognized for their great careers in the TLHB!

Needs:

We are need of someone to look at and assist with repairs or suggestions for the

old white “pit” truck. This truck is in need of repair; however, we want to

explore all options before making decisions that will affect us long range. This

truck is used for rehearsals on site and very short local events.

We are in need for some gravel or “fill dirt” for repairs on the band hill and

field. If anyone is interested in taking this on as a project please let me know.

The district has provided us with an additional Conex storage box on the band

field. One of our summer projects will be to re-organize equipment and

supplies. As a result, we are in need of some shelving units of any kind to store

materials more efficiently.

Next year is a possible travel year for Jazz Ensemble. Due to the expense and

logistics involved, I would like to get a couple of volunteer parents to assist with

Jazz Band issues.

We are also in the need of volunteers for Indoor Drumline and Winter Guard

who would be able to assist with these groups. These volunteers would also

need to be available for some board meetings during the indoor season in order

to assist with planning and travel issues.

The district is purchasing new uniform pants and gauntlets for the band

uniforms. These items will be available for the first full performance this fall.
