H.O.P.E. 3rd Generation Executive Application

10:40 PM Unknown 30 Comments

The time is finally here. After countless times of hearing the same question all over again, we are proud to say that 3rd Generation Applications are finally out.

Are you ready to submit yourself to the arduous lifestyle of an executive? Are you ready to step outside your comfort zone and do things you may have never done before? More importantly, are you ready to continue the legacy of this club?

Being an executive is a lot of work, physically and mentally. However, the experience is very rewarding. To those who are still unsure as to whether or not they should apply, I would just like to share a quote that I would constantly say to my executives. That quote is "Life begins outside your comfort zone." By stepping outside your boundaries, it can truly bring you to places you have never been to and more importantly, give you experiences you may never experience.

Our only requirement is that you must have been in this club for at least 1 year.

Here is an overview of all the executive positions in this executive board:

President - The "Big Boss" of the executive board. Oversees the entirety of the club and ensures that all events, in or out, are maintained.

Vice President - The president's main consultant and what we would like to call the "Parent of the Exec Board." Ensures relations among executives is within check and that all relations between members and executives are stable.

Secretary - The main public relations officer between staff members and the executive board. Prepares the paperwork and the equipment necessary for in-school events.

Treasurer - The banker of the executive board. Organizer of all fundraisers and record-keeper of all money transactions.

Club Representative - The advertiser of the group. He/she must propose fresh and new ideas to not only advertise the club but to also maintain the vibe of the club.

Creative Coordinator - The designs master. This person is mainly responsible for creating all posters, merchandise, and promotional materials.

Event Coordinators - These people ensure that all events run smoothly. Also primarily responsible for contacting events, organizations and more importantly, being the members' best friends at events.

Thank you everyone! Remember to try your best, have fun and more importantly, good luck!
This application will close on January 10th, 2016 by 11:59 P.M.

Please submit photos that you have taken during H.O.P.E. events and email them to us at bthshope@gmail.com with the email titled "H.O.P.E. Photos." Remember to provide your name and osis! If your photo gets chosen to be featured on our instagram, you will get 5 points for that photo.

  • St. John’s Bread and Life
The St. John’s Bread and Life event is coming up this weekend and we have a few spots left. The sign up is currently open so you may sign up for the remaining spots. We realized that we have made a mistake in our email concerning point changes for this event. Since shift 1 is 1 hour longer than shift 2, shift 1 should rightfully be worth more points.
Here are the new points conversions for St. John's
Shift 1 - 25 points
Shift 2 - 20 points
FULL SHIFT - 50 points
  • Meeting Locations
Because of Band and Chorus rehearsals, we have been moved up to the lunchroom. Our meeting locations will always be in the auditorium UNLESS specified. Also, please go out and support your fellow Chorus and Band members at their holiday performance!

Google Groups

2:23 PM Unknown 7 Comments

Hey guys!

We would like to remind you all that we will begin adding emails into our Google Group mailing list. Google groups allow us to send multiple emails to a large group of people on the same day without ever encountering email sending limits. Another fun fact about Google groups is that it is also an online forum which will allow you to see our posts in a more organized fashion. Emails have to be manually added by the owner (which is us) so please be patient with this process. 

Once you have been added to our google groups, you should receive an email from BTHS H.O.P.E. titled "You have been added to BTHS H.O.P.E." That will be your confirmation email. If you do not receive that email over the Thanksgiving Break, email us at bthshope@gmail.com and we will fix the situation as soon as possible. 

Also remember that this is a new system we are using so things may be a little shaky at first so before anything drastic happens, sorry and thank you for cooperating!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Updates & Event Conduct

10:38 PM Unknown 1 Comments

Hey guys,

FIVE THINGS:

  1. Thanks to YOU GUYS, we managed to collect 5 boxes and 2 bags of goods for the Thanksgiving drive! GOOD JOB EVERYBODY!

  1. The school will be hosting a Mannequin challenge tomorrow, after tenth period at the center section of the cafeteria! If you are interested, definitely go and participate! (Y’all should also wear your H.O.P.E. gear *wink wink*) Feel free to visit this Facebook page for more info: Click Here!

  1. There has been a lot of confusion concerning sign-ins and sign-outs during PTC. If you did not sign-in at the SE section of the cafeteria, that is fine. We will give points according to the exit tickets so as long you have handed in one of those, you are fine.

  1. During our mandatory meeting, we have briefly touched upon a new emailing system called Google groups. More information on that will be sent before the Thanksgiving break.

  1. Lastly, we would just like to remind everyone that during events, you are to sign-in and to sign-out with an EXECUTIVE ONLY. Please remember that executives are volunteers as well and while you may be finished with your work, the executives may still be in the process of finishing theirs. If you are unable to find any executives at the event, try contacting them using the phone number(s) PROVIDED FOR THE EVENT or wait until they comes back. We can rest assure you all that an executive will always be present at the appointed time for sign-outs. We want to ensure that everyone gets to the event safely and leaves the event safely. That’s is one of the primary reasons why sign-ins and sign-outs were created.

That is all and enjoy the rest of the week!
