First-ever Spirit Week for Jr. Eagles Middle School Royalty Court: Enrico Harmount & Marilee Williams Logo Excitement was running high in middle school during Jr. Eagles Spirit Week (October 19-23). Theme days were a smashing success with the students, as they treated us to their imagination, bringing forth an assortment of colors, shapes, and styles. It was a brilliant and vibrant week at CSD indeed! On behalf of the Jr. Eagles of the middle school cottages, we would like to thank the Principal Advisory Council students for The logo (front cover) is the official logo for California contacting the Jr. Eagles to establish the first-ever Spirit Week School for the Deaf’s 150 for our middle school students. The Jr. Eagles and the Principal Advisory Council worked together in making this Spirit Week a smashing success for everyone in middle school. Spirit Week was organized by the Jr. Eagles in the student life division. Its aim was to instill community spirit, school pride, and self-esteem. Spirit Week was also a means of entertainment for the students during CSD’s homecoming week. Members of each class were encouraged to participate and keep the excitement fired, up during this special period, and to maintain a strong sense of unity. Seventh grader Adam Wemmer had fun because the activities were cool, and because there was good competition against each other. It was a week filled with fun events, games, and exciting themes. Sixth grader Jenniferrose Jones felt that Spirit Week motivated students to bond together. The winner of Spirit Week ’09 was the eighth grade class; second place went to the sixth grade class; and third place went to the seventh grade class. In the end, everyone was a winner! Spirit Week provided a great opportunity to make meaningful memories for the middle school students and marked some important milestones in their development; the event developed incomparable PRIDE in the California School for the Deaf. I would like to thank supervising counselors Alexander Ash and Shirley Dart; and middle school cottage counselors Connie Davenport, Alicia Flores, Leslie Hanaumi, Jonathan Hughes, Jeri Keller, Sam Reynolds, Jennifer Savage, Brian Strother and Casey Burpee. I would also like to thank Clark Brooke, Eugene LaCosse, and the PAC committees for the splendid job they did in arranging Spirit Week and the royalty court last week. Darriyan Thomas and Marilee Williams also deserve special thanks for being our middle school Spirit Week chairpersons, thank you for all your hard work with the students. —Justen AJ Burns 30 November 20, 2009 | California News th anniversary. The winner of the logo contest was Andrew Anabu. Andrew is the son of Martha Anabu, who works in the business office at CSD. Andrew grew up watching his mother go to work at CSD and became interested in the school and culture. Andrew worked hard on this project; his winning logo was his sixth artistic attempt! Andrew is currently a student at Academy of Art university in San Francisco. Below is Andrew's description of the logo he created: under the warm glow of the yellow sun, a community of buildings thrives in a green valley. They belong to the California School for the Deaf in their 150 years of educating and nurturing students from all over the world. Down the long, winding asphalt road are the schools represented by CSD throughout its incredible lifetime. From the left, the Bear Statue stands prominently besides the first CSD school of Mission Street, San Francisco during the year 1861. Immediately behind lies the current Fremont CSD with the Bell Tower standing loud and tall. Near the center of the logo is the first of the three CSD Berkeley schools. Belonging to the era right before the turn of the 20th century, the first educational building is recognized by its cathedral-like, Gothic architecture. After a half a century later, in the 1950’s, a new administration building was constructed. Just as a human heart, this vital edifice lies to the center right. The third and final structure, with its contemporary clock tower, is situated at the very right of the logo. Just under its roof it shelters the long-lost Bird Fountain. Lastly, the Bald Eagle, the everlasting and enduring symbol of CSD, is embossed onto the never-ending asphalt road.
