In the weeks leading up to it, we will be completing SOL testing with stu-dents taking the English Writing test, com-plete student course selections for 2016-2017 and begin meeting with all students regarding depression awareness. We have also set March 11 as out 3rd quarter interim date, all grades in Pheonix should be updated. Please check our web site calendar for import-ant dates. This spring there will be significant activity regarding the renovations, as we begin shifting classes in order to complete the entire project by late summer. We are planning to do SOL testing in May during the week of May 16. A detailed sched-ule will be posted on the school website no later than May 1. The last day of school is June 14. 9-11 grade students should attend through this date.

PTSO

Please join the Broad Run High School Parent-Teacher-Student Organization (a 501(3)(c) organization) for the 2015-2016 school year.

WHY SHOULD I BECOME A MEMBER?Let’s face it, the beginning of school brings about a mountain of paperwork, forms, need to spend money here, need to spend money there…it can be overwhelming. So you may be looking at this form and wondering, why should I join? Well, here is why:

The membership fee for BRHS PTSO is only $35 per family, but what we give back to community is much more. Last year only 16% of families joined the PTSO, but through fundraising efforts, we were able to spend, on average, $21 per student on educational support and enrichment programs.

There funds pay for programs/efforts such as the following:

• Programs to enrich the education and school life of the students of BRHS, including the Men-tor Program, Freshman/New Student Welcome Reception, Parent/Student College Preparatory Programs, Homecoming parade, and AIDS Aware-ness Program.

• Teacher requests – Some items or events that are not in the yearly school budget and would not be possible without the help of the BRHS PTSO. Some examples: Battle of the Books Club/Spartans Read, Special Needs Field Day, TechEd Projects, Student Art Displays, Magazine Sub-scriptions for English classes, Impact club (for students dealing with a significant medical/death related family change), and school based clubs and organizations such as NHS and DECA.

• Scholarships - Each spring the BRHS PTSO awards up to ten $500 college scholarships to the most deserving BRHS graduating seniors regard-less of gender or educational path.

• Project Graduation - The BRHS PTSO contrib-utes to the Project Graduation All-Night Party that is a yearly event held after graduation night at a local venue. It is a nationwide effort to pro-vide graduating seniors with a fun, safe place to celebrate their last night together as high school students.

• Hospitality - The BRHS PTSO supplements the

Hospitality committee needs when parent dona-tions are not sufficient to provide for food and drinks at many school events including: Back to School Kick-Off, Academic Awards Night, Na-tional Honor Society Induction, Foreign Language Induction, Teacher Appreciation Week, Junior Ring Ceremony.

Imagine how much more we can provide for the BRHS students and teachers if we can achieve full membership of all BRHS families!

NO FRILLS FUNDRAISERWhen completing the membership form you will also have the opportunity to participate in the PTSO’s “No Frills Fundraiser.” We realize that sometimes it’s easier to donate money in lieu of your time…with hectic lives, teenagers and their busy schedules; it’s tough to do it all. Consider making a donation to our “No Frills Fundraiser” to help fund the BRHS PTSO programs. Do-nations made to our “No Frills Fundraiser” are tax-deductible!

DOES YOUR COMPANY MATCH EMPLOYEE CASH DONATIONS?Some companies will match donations that their employees make to 501(3)(c) organizations so please check with your company to see if they have a matching program. We can do so much more with a little help from everyone!

HOW DO I BECOME A PTSO MEMBER?There are two ways to become a BRHS PTSO Member:

1. Click here to complete the membership form online AND pay for your membership with a credit card:

https://fs20.formsite.com/ashburn/form12/index.html

2. Download the attached Membership Form form from below and return the completed form and check to the Main Office at BRHS or mail. it to BRHS PTSO, 21670 Ashburn Road, Ashburn, Virginia 20147.

Most people asked to describe a child with ADHD might use words like forgetful, restless, impulsive, disorganized, and disruptive. Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) are studying an important, but little - understood, feature seen in many children with ADHD: irritability. What is emerging from this work is that adults trying to help children with ADHD should think about whether irritability is present and, if so, how severe. Research is also beginning to offer clues about brain mechanisms underlying irritability, and about new ways to approach treatment.
