Happy halfway through the
school year Area F! I hope
your first semester has been
amazing. My goal at this
time of the year, when stress
levels of activities directors,
advisors, bookkeepers and
secretaries are high, is to
help you through the second
semester. One way is to
remind you how important
your jobs are to kids. Is
there a difference in the
grade point average,
graduation rate and post
high school success between
students who participate in
extracurricular activities and
those who do not? The
answer is YES! Attendance
rates of involved students
are higher than their nonparticipating classmates.
Students who participated
are three times as likely to
perform well in Math and
English assessments
compared to nonparticipants. Involved
students also aspire to
achieve and are more
successful during their post
high school life. For
example author Mary
Rombokas performed a
study of college aged
students who were involved
in extracurricular activities
in high school to discover if
there was in fact a
correlation between
involvement in activities and
academic achievement. She
concluded after questioning
two hundred ninety two
FOR ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION GO TO ~ college students that
“participation in
extracurricular activities
enhances both the
intellectual and social
development of students.”
So remember these facts
when people make
statements like, “What do
you and your ASB do
besides make posters?”
Respond by saying, “We
also make a difference!”
A great way to help you
continue to make a
difference in student’s lives
is to attend the CADA State
Convention. Please stop by
the Area F table near
registration to get
information on the Meet the
Pros workshops, the
networking suites, tips for a
successful convention and
free Area F prizes. If you
haven’t registered yet, you
can still register online until
February 10 or register at the
convention in Reno. I say
this every year but it doesn’t
matter if you are new, a
veteran or someone who’s
almost ready for retirement
this is a convention you
don’t want to miss!
If you have any questions
please don’t hesitate to
contact me at
areaf@cada1.org or call me
at 714-745-8962.
Thanks and see you in Reno!

Homecoming
Theme
announcement
at
lunch
this
past
fall.
The
large
group
is
part
of
our
first
lunch
student
body
showing
their
enthusiasm
for
the
theme.
The
theme
was
"A
Tale
of
Four
CiCes".
Each
class
had
their
own
city
and
decoraCons
were
according
to
that
city.
The
dance
was
held
at
the
high
school
and
was
a
HUGE
success.
We
had
the
most
Ccket
sales
in
the
history
of
ALHS.
The
dance
itself
was
in
the
gym,
there
was
a
giant
Hollywoodlike
spotlight
in
front
of
the
school
and
a
red
carpet
inviCng
students
in.
There
were
2
caricature
arCsts,
pool
tables,
foosball,
karaoke,
photo
booths
and
lots
of
good
food.
The
other
pictures
are
of
our
ASB
during
our
spirit
days.
FOR ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION GO TO ~ We
had
a
carnival
the
Friday
before
the
students
went
on
Thanksgiving
break.
It
was
called
Moonlight
Madness.
The
purpose
was
twofold:
1)
to
bring
the
students
and
community
together
for
an
evening
of
fun
and
raising
money
for
the
various
clubs
on
campus,
2)
to
build
hype
and
spirit
for
our
boys'
basketball
team.
The
colleges
have
"Midnight
Madness"
at
the
start
of
a
basketball
season
for
the
same
purpose
‐
build
spirit.
The
evening
started
at
5:00
with
the
carnival.
All
of
the
clubs
on
campus
had
a
booth
with
food,
drink
(everything
from
burgers,
ke(lecorn,
churros,
homemade
goodies,
tacos)
and/or
games
(typical
carnival
style
games
like
dart
throwing,
balloon
popping,
musical
chairs,
ring
toss,
even
a toss
into
a
goldfish
bowl
and
the
winner
gets
the
fish!!!!).
We
charged
a
minimal
entry
fee
so
the
guests
would
be
able
to
spend
money
at
each
of
the
club's
booths.
The
carnival
was
over
at
7:00
and
then
our
guests
went
into
the
gym
for
a
night
rally.
Our
new
varsity
basketball
coach
hosted
the
rally.
We
had
different
dance
performances
as
well
as
introducing
the
varsity
girls
and
boys
basketball
teams.
‐
with
a
short
scrimmage
at
the
end.
The
gym
was
packed!!!!
It
was
such
an
amazing
turnout!
We
had
approximately
650
a(endees!!!!
Our
guests
were
of
all
ages
‐
from
Cny
tots
to
grandmas
and
grandpas!
We
were
so
surprised
and
elated,
since
it
was
our
first
venture
with
this
huge
event,
at
the
incredible
success!

Bell Mountain Middle School - Menifee
A blessing to behold ~
Three years ago we started a
buddy program with our special
needs class at Bell Mountain
Middle School. Every Friday we
spend our leadership class period
with our buddies. The leadership
class provides a science project,
art
project,
or
physical
education
experience
for
our
buddies.
This year we have taken the buddy
program to the next level. My
students
have taken it upon themselves to
spend their own time and money
for different projects we have
done this year. They are very
attentive and
protective of these students.
Collaborating
with
the
SDC
teacher has proven effective. The
special
needs
students
are
isolated from most of the student
body. When they see an ASB
Leadership student, they are very
excited. The SDC students stop me
just about every day in the hall
to
ask if we are coming to their
classroom.
as a class. It seems as though my
students and I are often more
positively
and
emotionally
touched by this effort than the
very students we are trying to
reach out to. Recently we have
added one of our buddies fulltime to our ASB leadership class.
All of
my students have surrounded him
with kindness and are eager to
have him in their small groups
and committees. This program is
something we all look forward to
each
and
every
Friday.
Our
Leadership class has put servant
leadership into practice and has
been blessed in the process.
Nicole Schaffer - Bell Mountain
Middle School
It has been a joy and blessing to
see my Leadership students grow
as individuals and cooperatively
