Basketball Night Another Success

The Black Awareness Club would like to thank all (faculty, parents, and students) who participated in making Basketball Night a huge success. The Sophomores started off the night by soundly beating a resilient Freshman team. The Seniors squeezed past a scrappy Junior’s team 27-24 in a classic upperclassman showdown. The Seniors ended the night by winning the championship game over Sophomores in a convincing victory. The Three Point Contest was won by DJ Kearney Jr. who sank eight three point shots to take the crown and the dunk contest was won by Cederick Arca who dazzled the crowd with two high-flying one-handed slams. Congratulations to all participates and teams who represented our school and respective classes.

Guest Speaker Success Story

If you missed this the unforgettable story of Baltimore's other Iron Man, you missed a good one. Mr. "Fancy" Clancy Haskett came in and shared his story about overcoming a brutal childhood, to becoming one of the country's top ranked vendors and co-owner of the All-Pro vending company at Ravens Stadium. The Black Awareness Club thanks you for sharing your story and knowledge with us!

Thanksgiving Baskets

It's that time again club members. The Black Awareness Club would like to once again reach out to the Catonsville community during the Thanksgiving Holiday. So...It's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work collecting food for our annual Thanksgiving Baskets. Start bringing in canned goods, rolls, donations of money, etc. to Ms. Walters room 215 and Mr. Barber 317 by Friday. We would like to have as many members as possible to stay after on Friday to help put these baskets together. Together...We Can Make A Difference.

Great Presentation...Great Discussion

Another great discussion topic was presented today on "People's Perspectives." Thanks for all of the hard work that was put into today's discussion topic. Also, thanks to those members who gave their opinion about the topic. It's always good to hear comments and opinions of members in the Black Awareness Club in order to help shed light on a perspective that may not have thought about before. Great Job!

Way To Go!!

I'm proud to announce that The Black Awareness Club collected a grand total of $167.78 on Friday Oct. 1st 2010 for the Children's Cancer Foundation. You should feel good knowing that helped to play a part in changing someone's life for the better. Thanks to those who donated their money and to Sean, Reggie, Bria, Jennifer, Brooke, Armon, Briana, Khali, Jamal, Maria, Shannon, and Moeez who carried a container around school to collect money. It's amazing what can be done when we pull together! Outstanding job!

Off To A Great Start!

Hey Members,

The first meeting had a good turn out. Now it's time to go to work. First order of business...raising money for the Children's Cancer Foundation. Let's see if our club can raise the most money for the children in need. Anything you can give will help...so give all that you can. Time to role up our sleeves and get that money!!

A Big Thanks To...

Our wonderful leaders and dedicated members of the Black Awareness Club for making this year such a success! Excellent Job! We're going to have some big shoes to fill next year, but I know we'll be up for the challenge.

Solid Presentation on the word "Ghetto"

Andie did an outstanding job providing the group with some useful information about the origins of the word ghetto. Officer Gaynor also gave us some words of wisdom to think about during the presentation. Now we've got some useful tactics we can use to address someone who calls you ghetto. Looks like Gang Violence will be next up. Can't wait!

Did Someone Say Field Trip??

Come join us on our field trip to Howard University. Permission slips will be given out at the next meeting April 28th. Looks like all systems are a go!! Get Ready Howard! Here We Come!!

Cosby's "Theo's Holiday" Episode Rocks!!

Boy did this episode bring back memories. Hope everyone enjoyed the snacks and baked some delicious cookies. Thanks for joining us and laughing along.

Mission Accomplished

Well done BAC Members!!

The delivery of 41 Easter Baskets was completed yesterday morning. Excellent job bringing in the necessary materials and for taking the time to help put the Easter Baskets together during the last meeting. Check out some pics.

Another Great Presentation

Morgan and Kayla did an outstanding job on their stereotyping presentation. Several stereotypes were voiced and solutions were generated. Great job!!

Easter Basket Time

Attention: BAC

It's time to start bringing in the materials (and candy) for the Easter Basket Deliveries. Baskets, Green, Yellow, or Pink Grass, Jelly Beans, Small Toys (middle school aged), etc. are needed. We will be putting these baskets together for the next meeting March 24th. Our goal is to make a total of 41 baskets!

Remember: Be there and help make someone's Easter from the Children's Home a special one.

Bullying: A Big Hit!

Another excellent job on last week's "Bullying" presentation. Kudos to Reggie, Farida, and Briana (who almost felt the wrath of Mr. Barber for her remarks). You've also started a buzz about the buttons around CHS too. Everybody wants to know how can they get one. Well, come to the Black Awareness Club meetings!!! Great job guys.

Hot Topic Discussions

Kudos to Shiray, Mya, Ashley, Alexis, Miranda, and Corey for leading two outstanding discussions on the N Word and Discrimination in our society. We're looking forward to hearing the latest discussion on Bullying by Briana, Farida, and Reggie.

Thanksgiving Baskets Donated by The BAC

You've helped to make someone's Thanksgiving Holiday a special one thanks to your overwhelming generosity. Continue to keep up the good work BAC!!

BAC Helps Out Haiti Relief Effort

Thanks to everyone who pitched in to help in the CHS Haiti Relief Effort. Your contributions will help out those in need.

Toy Drive Success

Thanks to all members who brought in a toy/money for a toy for the Holiday Toy Drive.

Porkchop Coming To CHS

In the radio game under the guidance of the late, great K-Swift, Porkchop began as Swift’s and Reg Reggie’s producer for their popular night show on 92Q. Moving his way up from producer, to board-op, to co-host of “Rap Attack,” Porkchop became a full-time fixture on 92Q when he joined the legendary “Big Phat Morning Show.” Porkchop is living proof that with patience and God and your side, anything can happen. Now you can hear “the voice of Baltimore,” along with his partner in crime Squirrel Wyde, on “OFF THE HOOK RADIO” from 6pm-10pm Monday thru Friday on 92Q! (http://92q.com/author/porkchop)
