“I like nonsense -- it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a
necessary ingredient in living. Its a way of looking at life
through the wrong end of a telescope...and that enables you to
laugh at all of life’s realities.”-Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr.
Seuss)

STAFF & STUDENT REPEAT ANNOUNCEMENTS
This week 9th through 11th graders will take the California
Standards Tests (CST's), during their regular classes. We ask
that all students give their best effort on the tests. The tests
are important for several reasons. The results of the
assessments are used by teachers to make decisions about what
topics are taught and how they are taught. Additionally,
counselors may use the test results to decide placement of
students in classes. The scores achieved by our students also
establish the academic reputation of our school. As colleges
review your applications, they consider the strength of the
academic program of the applicant's high school. These CST
scores are a major indicator as to the quality of our program.
Our current students benefit from the fine reputation
established by former Scripps Ranch students. Give your best
effort; the CST scores do benefit each student. Campbell
Pokémon Master: Are you never gonna give up Pokémon? Never gonna
let down your dreams of becoming a Pokémon Master? If so stop
running around and come to B-17 during lunch for Pokémon Game
Card Club. Don’t forget to say goodbye to your current clubs as
a commitment to this club because this club is what you should
be thinking of, join today. Bergen

working or just traveling? Stop by the Career Center and let
Mrs. Adams know so she can get your name on the senior map.
