Social Media Survey
Megan Keefer, Assistant Principal
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
This letter is intended to inform you of a survey we are asking our students to complete during next week's (10/23/18) Homeroom period. As you may know, SRVHS is partnering with the
C
hallenge Success initiative through Stanford University
, whose mission is to explore ways to minimize student stress and empower them to pursue avenues to ensure a balance of sleep, homework, extracurricular activities, family, and a healthy social life. To that end, the Team is interested in exploring our students' social media use and the correlation to their well-being and sense of connectedness.
The survey guarantees anonymity and does not delve deeply into mental health issues. The purpose is to gather data and provide resources to support our students and community. The survey has been constructed in the same vein as other similar studies within the field based on a literature review of similar published work and is in conjunction with the school district's initiative to address the use of social media and bullying.
The Challenge Success Team is excited to offer our community, including students, teachers, and parents feedback on their social media habits. Additionally, we are partnering with our Leadership classes, where students have had the opportunity to voluntarily pledge to refrain from using social media for 36 hours then voluntarily and anonymously report their experience with this social media "blackout".
If you do not wish for your student to participate, please send an email to me before Monday, October 22nd opting your child out of the survey. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at
[email protected].
To view the survey, please follow the link provided below.
Sincerely,
Megan Keefer
Assistant Principal

Red Ribbon Week
October 22-26
If you are already missing having some fun, spirited dress up days- don't fear! Red Ribbon Week is 10/22-10/26! Here are some fun activities and themes for the upcoming week:
Monday 10/22: Wear red to school to support the cause and kick off Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week is dedicated to Special Agent Camarena, who gave his life while investigating drug cartels in Mexico. Today we continue to bring awareness and prevention to the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Join Americans all over the country supporting this cause and showing your opposition to drugs. Join us in the quad during lunch to pledge yourself to live a drug-free lifestyle.
Tuesday 10/23:
Wear flower crowns and
tie-dye
to peace out drugs! Share the love and look for the wall love at lunch in the quad to help encourage others to continue living a drug-free lifestyle.
Wednesday 10/24:
Wear
Hawaiian themed
outfits to "Lei Off Drugs"! Come to the quad during lunch to play spike ball, corn hole, and hula hoop with your friends to help support a drug-free lifestyle.
Thursday 10/25:
Check yourself, and wear
checked and plaid clothing
to show your support of a drug-free world. Journey to the quad at lunch and come to play Jenga and take part in arts and crafts to ease the mind and check drugs out of your life.
During Access on Thursday 10/25,
Jeff Davis will be speaking in the Main Gym as part of Red Ribbon Week. All are welcome. For students who want to attend, they don't need an Access pass; Leadership will take attendance at the door. Jeff Davis will be speaking about, "Why are drugs like Halloween?" If we as a community hope to successfully address the issue of teen drug abuse, we have to understand why teens turn to drugs. It is the same reason why they dress up on Halloween, but with potentially more serious consequences. Speaking from the experience of his family, SRVHS teacher Jeff Davis will try to give students a way to talk more openly about the problems they face so we can help them to stop running away from themselves and to stop running toward self-injuring behavior.
Friday 10/26:
Beat MV, Beat Drugs
! Wear your
all out GREEN and GOLD
to show your SRV spirit. Enjoy the music, spike ball, and corn hole in the quad at lunch and play to win!

PTSA Health & Wellness
Lisa Levy
As we enter into college application season, we thought we would share with you a new white paper published by challenge success on what a "good" college really is. In summary, challenge success found that college students are more successful after college when they have gone to a school that is a good fit for them. "A good fit is a college where a student will be engaged - in class and out - by what the college has to offer. With over 4,500 colleges in the United States, there are many schools from which to choose. We encourage students and families to look beyond rankings in the college search process, and instead to seek a school where students can participate fully in academic, civic, and social life in order to thrive both during the college years and beyond."

nd let the SRV Wish Fairies work their magic and fulfill your wishes!
Make-A-Wish
This year, the students of San Ramon Valley High School came together with the goal of raising money to support Make-A-Wish Bay Area, in order to put on a 'Wish Week' at SRV and sponsor a wish. Wish Week is a one-week-long event where we partner with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to sponsor a child with a life-threatening medical condition. As a school, we will hold several events throughout the week in order to raise money to grant wishes.
This year, we aim to hold Wish Week February 5-9, 2019, wrapping up the week with a rally. In order to sponsor a wish we must raise $10,000 by December of 2018. If we reach our goal to sponsor our wish kid, we'll host the reveal of their wish, and show them what SRV spirit looks like at the rally.
Regarding the $10,000 needed by December, there's a link below where you can donate directly. We'll also have some events and fundraisers in early 2019 during which we will be pairing with local businesses. Any and all donations are highly appreciated, and we cannot wait for the word to spread throughout the community about this life-changing event. Be sure to check out SRV Media, who is helping grant a wish. Be sure to stay tuned via Instagram (
@srvhswolfpack) and Twitter (
@WERSR). Donate here:

Committee Chairs:
Laura Morrison
Deborah Rockey
Charlyene Swierstra
GRAD NIGHT BUILD SITE
Our PTSA Grad Night 2019 Committee is searching for a warehouse/office space/build site. Ideally, the space would be 5000-8000 sq ft, and have electricity and plumbing. We will need access to this build site from January/February - May 31st, 2019. This donation would likely qualify as a write-off because PTSA is a 501(c)3 non-profit. If you have any suggestions that we can follow up with, please contact Carrie Shapiro at
[email protected].
Planning for Grad Night 2019 is well underway, and we are having a great time so far! We need a few more enthusiastic SRV class of 2019 parents because... if we all do a little, no one does a lot. We are organized, communicative, we all get along beautifully, and we have yummy snacks at our meetings. Come join us!
SIGN UP GENIUS & JOB DESCRIPTIONS
CONSTRUCTION CHAIR
The most urgent position we need filled is Construction Chair. This job will oversee all aspects of constructing the facade. Organization and communication skills are essential. Construction skills are preferred, but not necessary.
SMALLER JOBS
If you would like to help, but are not interested in taking a leadership role, that's cool too. There are several smaller jobs that support committee chairs which also need to be filled. Do it for our awesome SENIORS who have worked so hard and deserve this celebration!
QUESTIONS
Thank you and GO WOLVES!
