I happened on this blog and found this article: 18 Things I Wish Someone Told Me When I was 18. Some thoughtful advice for our 17 and 18 year olds that don't want to take advice from anybody! Please share this with your son or daughter. There are some tips that even us adults can take to heart! http://www.marcandangel.com/2010/06/21/18-things-i-wish-someone-told-me-when-i-was-18/
One of my favorite NY Times reads regarding the college admissions process the last couple of years: The Choice.
You will probably relate to this mom's blog post: "Savoring a Few Lasts, Amid a Flurry of Firsts". There are some other great links at this site as well. http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/30/mom-u-11-30/

Baby Ads
Thanks everyone for letting me know that the code that I gave you didn't work (it was last year's). I have attached an updated flyer. Try this: Go to www.hjeshare.com and enter the school code 2040054
Jostens - Grad Products Ordering - Monday, November 22nd
Reminder that tomorrow during both lunches Mike Annis will be at Newport to take order forms for graduation. Depending on what you are ordering, payment or a deposit must accompany the order form.
Here's some additional information that should be helpful:
- Each grad purchases a red gown and the cap/tassel. If you previously purchased a gown you may re-use it (or borrow a neighbor's). They iron beautifully. Students can use their siblings gowns as well.
- If you borrow a gown or have one handed down by a sibling, you can just order a Cap & Tassel Only. The cost is $20. (Look on the order form right hand corner Section 4 above Total Your Order and you will see the area to check). The Newport Class of 2011 flyer in the cap & gown section has the price listed.
- If you are thinking of ordering announcements, do it now. If you decide you want announcements later in the year, it may be too late. Prices are higher and the announcement design will be different. Jostens says their average student order is about $120.
- A $60 deposit is requested when you place your order (cash, check or credit card). Josten's will send an invoice for the balance.
- Caps/gowns and announcement orders will be picked up in school April 2011

Recommend reading for senior parents:
The Launching Years: Strategies for Parenting from Senior Year to College Life
By Laura S. Kastner, PhD (from UW) and Jennifer Wyatt, PhD
Recommended by a parent of a current college freshman! The book is broken into two parts – senior year of high school and freshman year of college. It really helped to get past the yelling, nagging, giving consequences phase of parenting and focus on negotiations and trying to treat your more like an adult. As with anything else about development, each kid is different and will approach these new mile stones with different points of view. This book does a great job of covering most of the possibilities.

The celebration is a chaperoned, alcohol and drug-free, all night party that is held at secret and special venues. For graduating seniors, this is one of the most anticipated occasions of their year!
The Grad Knight committee has been working hard to coordinate a Holiday Gift Fair as a fundraiser for Grad Knight. We need your help in getting the word out! Please forward the attached flyer to your contacts, neighbors and friends. Print the flyer and bring it to your work, gym, church, etc. Post the information to your Facebook page. If everyone forwards it to at least 10 friends we will be reaching over 4,000 people!
In addition to getting the word out we need you to come shop too!
Holiday Gift Fair
Saturday, November 20th 10:00-5:00 at Newport High School
Newport Holiday Gift Fair Saturday November 20th from 10:00-5:00 is a fundraiser to support the Class of 2011 Grad Knight. It’s a great opportunity to shop for unique and great things for the holidays – anything from jewelry to candles, anything from gifts to decorations. It’s a collection of over 30 vendors selling high quality items at a great price to you – while helping the Newport Seniors have a great graduation celebration!
Volunteers Needed!
We need volunteers to assist the vendors with setting up on November 20th Saturday morning, from 8:00-10:00am and with tear down from 4:30-6:00 p.m. Your student can earn volunteer/community service hours too!

We are looking for baked goods to sell at the Holiday Gift Fair. Please contact Becky Miller if you can help rebamill@aol.com
