Adopt A Soldier Drive

Don't Hate! Donate!

We, the members of Mr. Tesler's advisory, are sponsoring an "adopt-a-soldier" drive to collect supplies for soldiers serving in Iraq.

We recently "adopted" a US soldier stationed in Iraq. Our intent is to collect supplies for the soldier, and the members of his battalion. So far, we're off to a great start, and we're looking to the members of the WJPS community for their assistance.

There are many different items that the soldiers need. A comprehensive list, submitted by the mother of one of our WJPS students, whose brother is currently serving in Iraq can be found here. In addition, you can find more information about adopt-a-solider by going to their website, or you can speak to any member of our advisory.

QHST Visits WJPS!

On Monday March 12, our advisory was visited by two members of the Queens High School of Teaching's Senior Class. The students, like WJPS students, were the first freshman class in their school. With their teacher, Walter Brown (a good friend of mine), the students discussed their experience of being part of a brand new small school.

Click on the link below, and read one of the student's comments about the visit.

After you read the comments, please post your reflections on their visit.

Advisory Blog Assignment 3/7/07

On Monday, we will be visited by members of the Senior and Junior Class from the Queens High School of teaching.

In order to introduce ourselves to them, we're going to post responses on this blog to the following questions. Each question should be followed by a response of at least one paragraph.

Questions.

1. In what ways has your decision to go to a small high school benefitted (helped) you?
2. In what ways has your decision to attend a small high school not helped you, or held you back?
3. What is the most important thing you need to know about going to high school in a small-school setting?

Advisory Blog Assignment #1

What is up, Advisory Students:

This task is designed to help our advisory groups get together and discuss some ideas about the high school experience. For Mr. T's advisory @ WJPS, it's a chance for us to talk about what we're looking for. For Mr. Brown's group @ QHST, it's a chance for them to share what they've found.

Anyway, here goes. WJPS, you're up first. Here goes. Be detailed, open, and honest. Please provide only what the question asks for. This is not the post to vent about the things we aren't happy about. Write at least 50 words in response to each question.

• As a student in a brand new, small High School, what are you expecting from your High School experience?
• As a student in a brand new, small Hgh School, besides "doing my work," what can YOU do to positively contribute to building your school's culture, and community?

Please post no later than 11:59PM Sunday night.

These are not easy questions. "Nothing," "I don't know," and other answers will not be accepted. This work is important. Thank you!

Welcome to the Advisory Blog!

What is up, advisory people?

This is a space where we can get together and talk about issues important to our advisory group. It will also serve as a "meeting place" for the members of our advisory, and the advisories of the other schools we will be working with.

Please make sure that when you post, you leave your name and class somewhere, so I know who is writing, and I may be able to give that person credit for their assignment.
