FFA National Convention
National Convention for FFA
Written by Haley Malone.
Last week on Wednesday, October 27, 14 Manor High School FFA members, including Mr. Clinard and Ms.Bartos and parents of the members, attended the National Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. FFA is a national organization, that contributes and brings awareness towards Americas farmers. The FFA is an organization designed for people who are interested in anything agriculture such as raising and showing animals and doing youth fair projects. In addition to that, they are creating jobs. Interestingly enough, almost 60% of Americas jobs are agriculture related or in the economic fields.
On this trip to National Convention, 14 members: Mr. Clinard, Ms. Bartos, Ms.Smith, Ms. Fiebig, Ms. Reyes, Andres Hernandez, Kevin Meredith, Joseph Briseño, Ms. Briseño, Chad Smith, Christina Reyes, Brianna Ortiz, and Magen Manis. They flew up to Indianapolis around 7am and got there around noon via a 5 hour plane ride. From there, they picked up their rental vans, checked into the hotel, and then went to the National Convention at the Lucas Oil Stadium. They arrived at the Stadium to receive a 2 star Nation Chapter award at the 83rd National FFA Convention. When I asked Mr. Clinard how he felt about receiving the award, he said they all felt very proud and excited of their chapter. After they received the award, they toured the race track of the Indianapolis 500. They also toured the FFA career show. They listened to guest speakers talk and use slideshows to inform the chapter members about more awards and scholarships. The next day, they went to the award banquet where they all celebrated the award.

Getting pumped up for the game vs. Hendrickson
Manor high held the last pep-rally of the first semester on October 28, 2010 in the high school gym to get the students pumped up for the last home game against Hendrickson High. The cheerleaders cheered on the football team as they came out on to the court. All of the school teams were then recognized for all of their accomplishments. The cross country team was the first team to be recognized for their win during the district championships in four of the five divisions. There were 29 metals and 4 plaques that they won throughout the day. The volleyball team was congratulated next for their good season. The high steppers preformed one of their spectacular dances to get the crowd pumping. Then the Get Life Crew D’Lonte La
wson, Rodney Molotte, and Jr Ortiz started popping, locking, and krumping. The crowd was going wild once the first move was made.
The cheerleaders led a hilarious game that was also played by some of the staff and administration members. They had to turn in multiple circles with their head touching the end of a baseball bat. Then, they had to run back to the group. The next step was to get two members of the group across the gym on a rolly board and back. The last step was to get a frozen shirt unpacked and on the last team member, which was not easy. The cheerleaders then got together to do a cheer to get the crowd pumped up once again for the game that was being held the next day.
After the cheer, there was a fight. Yes, the fight over the spirit stick. The first round there was a tie between the seniors and juniors. The second round there was a tie again between seniors and sophomores .The last round there was only one standing class that won and that was the sophomores.
At the end of the pep rally, the drum line started a beat making every one get up out of their seats and dance. Mr.Brackmeyer then took the mic dismissing the class who won the spirit stick first. After everyone one was dismissed from the gym they were so hyped up for the last home game of the year.

Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in one or both of the breasts. Breast cancer usually develops in the ducts or lobules, also known as the milk-producing areas of the breast. Although African-American women have a slightly lower incidence of breast cancer after age 40 than Caucasian women, they have a slightly higher incidence rate of breast cancer before age 40
The new focus on a cancer’s surroundings, researchers say, is a major shift in thin
king about why cancer occurs and how to stop it. Now we’re Celebrating 25 years of awareness, education, and empowerment. Breast cancer awareness is for women at high risk of breast cancer and MRI can help detect malignancies early and is often suggested in addition to annual mammograms, forty-two percent of such women in a new study said no to the test.

It’s that time of the year again Manor High School! It’s Adopt -a -Kid week, when second period classes will adopt Manor ISD elementary students to give them gifts for and celebrate Christmas with Santa Claus. It’s an optional but very enjoyable for an activity for both the elementary students and the high school students in the Manor Independent school District.

2. Room number where part y will be held
3. Number of students you would like to adopt ( 1 or more)
4. Do you have a preference for a boy or girl

When your class is able to provide information, email it or put it in the mailbox of Ms. Duffield. Student council will get information from Mrs. Rivera. Your class will be provided with the student’s “wish list” and more directions on the arrival. We are looking forward to another wonderful season with the students. If you have any questions, feel free to contact x8241.
Last Christmas, Adopt-A-Kid was one of the best things Manor High did for little girls and boys in the community. The students of Manor High brought the Christmas spirit into each and every single one of those little girls and boys’ hearts. Just seeing the smiles on their faces when they saw the things they got for Christmas brought joy to our hearts. The Manor High School students guaranteed that they had someone looking after them and giving them the attention that they needed. We shared the joy and the satisfaction that comes with giving and receiving love, the true meaning of Christmas. So it’s good to say that adopting one of these little kids and seeing them with a smile on their face is extraordinary.
