Advisory Period
by Emma Jones
Education Reporter
Advisory period remains the same as it was last year. Fortunately, it is the same
amount of time and during the same time of the day. This is still the perfect opportunity
to do homework, study, read a good book, or do any other assignments so
take advantage of it! This is also a great time for clubs to meet and hold meetings.
Also this year, D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) will also take place during
advisory as it did last year.

Well, summer is over and we‘re back in school. Sad, isn‘t it? Summer went by way
too fast! And although the fun and relaxing times of summer are over for now, we
have a lot to look forward to this year. As we all know, football season is beginning,
which also means fall is coming, and for a lot of the guys like me, fall means hunting!
I, for one, cannot wait for deer season this year! I‘ve got a good feeling about it. Also,
Homecoming is coming up as well. Here are some dates to look forward to this fall:
August 27 – Jam At The Joe
September 10 – First LA Tech home game
September 16 – First RHS home game
October 15 – RHS Homecoming
October 29 – Opening day of deer season
Open house will be held at Ruston High School on September 29, 2011 at 6:30
P.M. Open house is a great opportunity for parents to meet their child‘s teachers
and see what their child has been learning so far in the school year and to see what
they will be learning the rest of the year. Some teachers even throw in bonus points
for those who have parents that attend. It will be a very informative meeting and
well worth the time.
