MHS: Underclassmen Picture Day!

WhatUnderclass Picture Day (AND senior makeup picture day)
WhenWednesday, September 10th - all day
WhereMagnolia Gym
How: Students will be dismissed by homeroom from their regular schedule (we will NOT actually be in homeroom).  To avoid class interruptions, we will NOT be making all calls, so please pay attention to the time frames and announce to your students when they should leave.  A general guideline:
1st block: junior homerooms
2nd block: sophomore homerooms
3rd block: Woods students (and freshmen who are at Woods 4th block)
4th block: freshmen homerooms

Passes: Yearbook students will give students who are finished with their picture a pass back to class.  If students do NOT return with a pass, then they were not with us.

Buying Pictures: Crider’s Photography will do the same thing it did last year: EVERY student will receive a proof of their photo with the order form a few weeks AFTER picture day and return the proof to the front office.

Staff Pictures: You do NOT have to get your photo taken because the amazing Tracey Waid took them in August and is sharing them with yearbook.

Seniors: We will email you a list of seniors who need to report to the Magnolia Gym to take their senior picture.  We would appreciate it if you could send them down when they enter your class, please.  We will also be delivering passes throughout the day so we don’t miss any.

Make Up Pictures: make up picture day is October 7th

Troubleshooting
-Did students miss their assigned time slot? Go ahead and send them when they realize it.
-Please ask your students when they enter class if they got their picture during their assigned grade block/time, and if they missed it, please send them down.
-Please do NOT send ALL of your students down at once; however, if you only have a few students in the grade assigned for that block, send them down at the BEGINNING of the period together.
-Third period is available for teachers who have ALL freshmen to come down as a class.  Please contact Tiffany Cavicchia if you are interested.

Thank you: We understand and appreciate that picture day can be hectic, so please be patient with us.  We will have two stations set up and hope to move the students through as quickly as possible.

MHS Yearbook Wins Awards

Mooresville High School yearbook staff earns state, national honors

Mooresville, N.C. (Sept. 4, 2014) – The staff of The Pitchfork yearbook at Mooresville High School in Mooresville, N.C., has been honored with awards from the North Carolina Scholastic Media Association (NCSMA) and the school’s yearbook publisher, Walsworth Yearbooks.

Competing in the Large School category in NCSMA’s annual awards this summer, The Pitchfork earned an Overall Honors designation and third place in Cover Design. Students Ally Grogan and Tosh Torrence won in the Featured Spread Design category.

While awaiting the NCSMA results for its 2014 yearbook, the 2015 staff was earning recognition at the annual Camp Carolina summer yearbook workshop in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Elena Nowak won first place for Best Advertising Plan and Best Overall Marketing Plan; Zoe Hambley won second place in the Advanced Design Class; and Anna Lowrance won first place in the Yearbook 101 InDesign class. The staff won first place for the People’s Showcase.

Nationally, the 2014 Pitchfork was inducted into Walsworth Yearbooks' Gallery of Excellence. Books included in the Gallery of Excellence represent a small percentage of all yearbooks published by Walsworth, and recognizes them for exemplifying excellence in yearbook creation.

The Pitchfork, along with other Gallery of Excellence yearbooks, will be seen by yearbook staffs across the country. It will be loaned to schools as an idea generator and displayed at regional, state and national conventions and workshops.

The 2014 edition of The Pitchfork yearbook was produced under the direction of Tiffany Cavicchia, first year yearbook adviser and new to MHS.

Mooresville students will also be wowed by the the 2014 Pitchfork. The yearbook features a custom animation that is embedded in the cover, which can be seen by students when they download the Aurasma mobile app from the App Store or Google Play. Once the app is installed, users can open it on their smartphone or tablet and launch the viewfinder. When the viewfinder is held over any linked image, such as a yearbook cover, the animation begins to play. 

The Pitchfork cover animation spins into a window that opens and shows video clips of activities that occurred at the school during the year while an accompanying music soundtrack plays. Ten videos located in the contents of the book also can be seen using the Aurasma app.

As part of the Partners in Education partnership between Walsworth Yearbooks and Aurasma, Walsworth helps schools set up their Aurasma channel, provides training to yearbook staffs to use the technology and works with the school to create custom animations. Walsworth entered into a partnership with Aurasma to assist schools in creating augmented reality for their yearbooks, bringing yearbooks to life with 3D animation, video and special effects to give readers a unique experience in the printed book. 

About WalsworthWalsworth is among the 35 largest printing companies in the U.S. The company is among the top five yearbook printers and is the only American- and family-owned publisher of yearbooks. Started in 1937 by Don Walsworth, current leadership is under the second and third generations: Don O. Walsworth, CEO, and his son, Don Walsworth, president. The company operates from administrative offices and printing and binding facilities in Marceline, Mo., a prepress facility in Brookfield, Mo., a sales and marketing office in Overland Park, Kan., and a printing facility in Saint Joseph, Mich. Additionally, Walsworth owns the Donning Company Publishers in Virginia Beach, Va., a specialty book publisher and The Ovid Bell Press in Fulton, Mo., a printer of journals and magazines.

AP US Government Summer Assignment

AP GOVERNMENT 2014-2015
Mrs. Van Dyke
AP U.S. GOVERNMENT SUMMER 2014 ASSIGNMENT


Students in the upcoming course are to do the following:

  1. Read the U.S. Constitution and create for yourself a basic understanding of the document that contains the guiding principles of American self-rule. Make sure this is entirely complete. Use this website for the assignment: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution.html
  1. Read the following book, and complete the accompanying study guide.


Game Change
Authors:  John Heilemann and Mark Halperin
ISBN:  9780061733642


Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime (2009), by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, is the story of the 2008 presidential election. Game Change was made into a film, do NOT watch the film instead, the book is MUCH more comprehensive and interesting.  In 2008, the presidential election became blockbuster entertainment. Everyone was watching as the race for the White House unfolded like something from the realm of fiction. The meteoric rise and historic triumph of Barack Obama. The shocking fall of the House of Clinton—and the improbable resurrection of Hillary as Obama's partner and America's face to the world. The mercurial performance of John McCain and the mesmerizing emergence of Sarah Palin. Based on hundreds of interviews with the people who lived the story, Game Change is a reportorial tour de force that reads like a fast-paced novel. Character driven and dialogue rich, replete with extravagantly detailed scenes, this is the occasionally shocking, often hilarious, ultimately definitive account of the campaign of a 2008.
