Global History for Haiti
Ms. Stolarsky's 9th Grade Global Studies Classes Invite You to an Evening of Art, Music and Inspiration Benefiting the Global Orphan Project in Haiti.
After learning about Haiti's tumultuous history, students decided to play a role in trying to effect change for a better present and future for Haiti's children. To take part, please join us as we present our findings, hear from guest speakers, and raise awareness about an important cause.
When: Wednesday, June 16th at 5:30-7:30PM
Where: Hunter College High School Auditorium and Foyer
71 East 94th Street, New York NY 10128
Please RSVP to Lindsey Stolarsky at lstolars@hccs.hunter.cuny.edu or 646-963-6300
January’s devastating earthquake impacted all Haitians, particularly children. As young people ourselves, we felt inclined to help provide direct aid to the children of Haiti. The Global Orphan Project transforms lives by caring for more than 3,500 orphaned and abandoned children in fourteen of the most desperate countries in the world. The GO Project uses a unique, community-based model, partnering with local leaders to provide children with a caretaker, a safe place to live, two-meals a day, an education, and access to medical care. For more information about the Global Orphan Project, you can go to their website http://theglobalorphanproject.org/

Tuesday, June 1, 2010
June 1st - 6th
Thursday is a Half Day (1-4) for Carnival. There are a lot of great club events happening this week, including the premier of Peer Leadership's Stress Documentary. Brick Prison Playhouse kicks off on Thursday after Carnival and continues through Saturday.
CLUB, TERM COUNCIL, AND PUBLICATION ANNOUNCEMENTS
Peer Leadership's Stress Documentary Premier
Auditorium, June 2nd, Entire Day
Peer Leadership is a club containing students from grades 9-12 who discuss and act on ways to improve the Hunter community. June 2nd is the premier of our stress documentary project. The spirit for this project was triggered by our perception of an extraordinarily high-pressure atmosphere at Hunter, a feeling that was later solidified by the striking results in the stress portion of the Middle States Survey results. We have interviewed many students and have received a lot of feedback on how much stress they have to face daily. We believe this film honestly portrays the average Hunter student's life, including their workload and extracurriculars. This message is a shout-out to all Hunter teachers, students, and faculty to visit the auditorium on that day and view the movie at least once, and encourage members of the Hunter community around you to do the same!
Please contact Isabella McKinley (isabella.mckinley@gmail.com), Aron Wander (arwander@yahoo.com), Ms. Rushforth, or Ms. Bowler with any questions!

HCHS Anonymous Bakesale
Friday, June 4th, G.O. Foyer
The purpose of Anonymous is to enable the Hunter community to share and seek advice anonymously. Often times we find we can't bring ourselves to ask our friends or teachers some of our more personal questions. Maybe it's a little silly or too revealing of our characters, whatever it may be. And thus, we invite you to our very first bakesale ever. We, Hunter's first and only forum-based, question-answering, anonymously-helping, younger-termer-acknowledging club would like to feed you! Stop by the G.O. Foyer on Friday, June 4th, for calories in the form of awesomeness.
P.S. Check out our beautiful new design: http://www.hchsanonymous.webs.com/
P.P.S. Our anonymity exists for your advantage. Use it! Ask us anything
