My name is Franki Moscato (girl, 23, Oshkosh). I am “that Wisconsin girl” who won a Gold Ticket on ABC’s American Idol. Perhaps you’ve seen me sing the Anthem for the Packers (5), Bucks (7), NASCAR (1), or Whitehouse (2). I am writing to ask you for help communicating a project I am working on to fight teen suicide.

My story includes being bullied out of two schools and finding myself in a dark place. Today, I use my platform and my non-profit, Franki Moscato Foundation, to advocate for teen suicide prevention.

I am inviting Wisconsin students in grades 6-12 to make a 60-second video about being kind, anti-bullying, or somehow preventing teen suicide. See my contest here: http://BeKindContest.com

Video submissions are due by November 1st. We have to hurry! The winning video will be professionally produced and broadcast as a televised Public Service Announcement across Wisconsin. The kids and adults who worked on the project will be invited to be cast in the production spot, and the author’s parents will win a FunJet vacation to the Dominican Republic!

If you are not feeling well, you need to come to the office and we will call a parent FOR you. Per the student handbook as well as the cell phone policy, "Students are not to use telephones to call parents to receive permission to leave school. Office personnel will initiate all calls on behalf of a student seeking permission to leave school."

Spanish Club: Spanish Club dues need to be turned into Mrs. Kennedy by Wednesday, September 17. Remember, if you want to be a Spanish Club officer, email Mrs. Kennedy to get your name on the ballot. Also, there is NOT a waiver that needs to be signed anymore.

Saturday, October 4th the Omro Area Community Center, in cooperation with the American Heart Association is hosting a Home Alone/ Babysitting Class that is open to all students ages 10 and older. Click for the Registration form , or they can be picked up at the community center and are due by September 30th. The day would consist of 1/2 babysitting class and the other 1/2 would be learning CPR and will go from 8:00am-3:45pm. Cost is $75. If you have any questions, please feel free to call OACC at 920-685-0380 for more information!

Students, if you would like to visit the trainer, or if your coach requests you see him for taping, you must do it during FOX TIME and you MUST come down to the office for a pass first. You need to make sure you are starting off in your Fox Time so your teacher can take attendance, and then you will be able to go down to see the trainer. Students who have games or matches that night will take priority as there are often more students there at one time, but we will try to work with everyone as best we can.

Mrs. Whitney's Anatomy and Physiology classes are in need of deer heart donations for an upcoming unit. If you harvest a deer and would like to donate the heart please freeze it or put it on ice and bring it to Mrs. Whitney's room, 1805. Good luck & be safe during the upcoming hunting seasons.

• Behavior expectations remain the same in the PAC as they are in the classroom.
• You may be in the cafeteria or in the PAC. You may not leave out the West side doors to use the bathroom, you must get a pass from staff on lunch duty.
• Inappropriate language and behaviors are not allowed and will result in you being removed for the next day. This includes tackling, rough, aggressive play, throwing balls at others, kicking balls across the gym and using profanity.
• You may NOT bring open food into the gym.
• EVERYONE needs to help clean up when the bell rings. It is not ok to just kick the balls to the corner of the gym for someone else to clean up.
• Nothing should be left in the gym, including water bottles, chips, trash...
• Always be safe.
• Remember, it is a PRIVILEGE to have the gym open during that time and if you wish to see it continue to be open, you need to be following all behavior expectations.

Cell Phone Reminders:

• You should NOT have your phones on you, or on your desk during classtime. You have 2 options: in your locker powered off, or in the wall pouches in the classroom; that's it.
• "Bell to Bell" means "Bell to Bell". Cellphones should not be picked up until you are leaving the classroom at the end of class.
• These expectations are NOT negotiable and are backed by the school board. Let's make sure we are following these expectations to avoid consequences that will follow, including but not limited to verbal warning, confiscation and detention/suspension.

• Clothing must fully cover midriffs, hips, cleavage, buttocks, upper thighs, and undergarments—even during movement. Items like strapless tops, short skirts/shorts, see-through fabrics, and cut-off shirts with exposed sides are not allowed.

• Clothing with references to alcohol, drugs, weapons, gang symbols, offensive language, or sexual content is prohibited.

• Hats, hoods, sunglasses, chains (non-jewelry), jackets and coats, backpacks, and purses, may not be worn/ carried in school and must be left in your locker.

Fox Friday forms and the box to put them in are located in the MS/HS Media Center. Please take a moment to nominate students and staff you think deserve to be recognized for being safe, responsible, respectful and positive! You can also nominate staff you feel have made a positive connection, is a great role model or who stands up for students. Please fill out a form so we can celebrate our students and staff this week!!!

Athletics and Activities Attendance Policy (Condensed):
Students must attend the full school day to participate in practice or competition. To be eligible on a day with an absence:

• Step 1: A parent must notify the office 24 hours in advance. For emergency medical appointments, parents must call before 8:00 AM the day of the absence. A medical note is required upon arrival.

• Step 2: Student collects an excused slip from the office with the medical note.

• Step 3: Student gives the excused slip to their coach/advisor before participating.

A parent may call a student in for personal reasons as long as they arrive before 2nd hour and are within their 10 excused absences for the year. Unexcused absences mean no participation until the next full day. Final decisions rest with the Dean of Students or Principal.
