Cafeteria Waste-Reduction Campaign
Where/When: The cafeteria, starting February 8th
For the next few weeks, if you bring lunch, please bring in a waste-free lunch. A waste-free lunch simply means that the lunch is packed in a reusable bag or lunchbox, that the food is packed as much as possible in reusable containers instead of disposable ones, and that food in individual packages is avoided as much as possible. We are trying to see how much Hunter can reduce its cafeteria waste during this period. For more information, go to www.wastefreelunches.org.
Any questions? Contact heyleothelion@gmail.com.

Peer Leadership
When you get mountains of homework each night do you ever wish you could make your teachers see the hours of sports, musical or theater practice you do? The time you spend at a job or doing community service? Your long, long commute to and from school? Well, now you can! In an attempt to further the campaign for a "stress-free day", Peer Leadership is making a movie about what it truly means to be a Hunter student, and would love interested students to contact Isabella Mckinley at the email address below. If you think your busy schedule is worth recognition, or even if you just want to give us a copy of a full page in your planner, send an email, and we'll be in touch.
email contact for questions: isabella.mckinley@gmail.com

Howdy yall! On Feb. 9th the girls varsity basketball team has a game against its rival Stuyvesant high school! Come out and support the Hawks in this crucial matchup. However, before the game, certain members of sports teams will be raising money for cancer. (i.e. the basketball team has received pledges from people that will donate a certain amount of money to cancer for each foul shot that person makes out of 100). You can take part too! Get some pledges, shoot some freethrows and help battle cancer and have a great time doing it. During the game, the Athletic Association will be selling concessions for your convenience. This is also one of the last home games of the season so make sure you don't miss it!
