1) BCS Sports Calender: Student and parents can keep up with the sports schedule. Basketball games and volleyball games will be dated. They can make sure they are on time for games. Also, they can see where they are. Lastly, they can see when practices are.

Students have to make sure they are on time for practice. Also, make sure their schedule and their parent's schedule is free. If their schedule is not free, then their coach should know ahead of time. Their parents can be aware of their practice times. Also, be aware of when they get out of practice.

If the players want to bring a guest to their game, their guest should be informed. The players should be informed of the games before they happen. In case someone forgets about the game, all they have to do is look at the calender. They can make sure their in someone to bring them and pick them up. 

Also, there maybe notifications. Such as, when fees are due and meetings. Parents can keep track of their students game dates and practice dates. Parents can make plans ahead of game dates. They can also plan transportation ahead.

2)After School Projects: This is to let people know when there are new activities. They will be notified, so they can decide if they want to sign up. Also, they can know the sign up dates and can sign up before time. Students can be informed about these activities, so they can have something to do after school. If they're not involved in sports, they can do after school activities.

Activities such as a helps class would be important for students to know. If they need extra help in a subject, they can come to help-s class. Or maybe, there is an after school art class. If anyone is interested, they can look in the school newspaper for details. Also, students can enjoy themselves.

Students would have fun being around other friends and classmates in after school activities. Take their mind of school work for a while. Can do activities they enjoy. Also, if someone forgets when after school activities are, they can read the newsletter. The newsletter would the times and dates.

So parents can remember to pick their student up after, the times will be in the newsletter. It's important that student interact with each other. Also, spend time with each other. Students don't get alot of time to talk during school time, so after school activities would give them a chance to. Lastly, you can choose which activity you want to be in and sign-up.

3) Bible Scripture of the Month: It is important that as a Christian school, we show out Christianity. Also, this can build other's faith. It's very important that we spread God's word. And to make it known. It can help unsaved people get saved. Also, by reading the Bible, it strengthens your faith as a Christian. 

As Christians, we should memorize our important bible verses. A scripture of the month would help with that. We should learn the Bible. Not only learn the Bible, do as the Bible says. Also, follow God's word and plan.

Reading the Bible verses over and over again builds our strength in the Lord. The important Bible verses should stay with you. You should always remember them. Knowing your Bible scripture is a very good thing. You tend to abide by them when you memorize them.

Knowing your Bible scriptures will help when you are stuck. You can recite your learned Bible scripture to help you through. Also, it can help you with ministering to others. When try to help an unsaved person, you need scriptures to back up what you say.

Blog Assingment #31/My Choice Feature

My Topic Choice: Barbie Dolls

The Barbie doll was invented in 1959 by Ruth Handler. His daughter was called Barbara. Barbie was introduced to the world  at the American Toy Fair in New York. The doll was supposed to be a teenage fashion doll. There has been some public debate over Barbie's figure when it realized that if Barbie was a real person her measurement would be an impossible 36-18-38. The male doll, Ken, was named after Ruth's son. Barbie first had bendable legs in 1965.

This story takes place in the 1930's. This story starts: A young girl meets a boy and they fall in love. The girl graduates from High School and she wants to go to college. The girl's parents dont want her to go to college, becasue it is not a common tradition. She goes to college anyway adn marries the boy too. Ruth and Elliot raise two children, Barbie and Ken.

Mid 1940's, Ruth and Elliot owned a company that made wooden picture frames and Elliot began to use the scrapes of wood from picture frames to make doll furniture. It was teh beginning of their toy history. In 1945, Ruth and Elliot joined with a close friend to form a company. This company would be named Matted, MATT and EL. Mattel continued to grow from a very profitable buisness into a corporate giant.

Ruth then hired Charlotte Johnson, a fashion designer, to create Barbies wardrobe. 1958, BArbie would be long limbed, shapely and beautiful, and was only 11 1/2 tall. Paper fashion dolls of the times would give way to a 3-D beauty. Ruth and Elliot would name their new fashion doll after their own daughter,Barbie. Barbie dolls' soon to be boyfriend Ken, would be named after their son Ken.

March of 1959, Barbie doll made her way to the New York Toy Show and recieved a cool reception from the toy buyers. She would be viewed as risky to buyers since she was not the typical stlye selling baby doll of the times.Upon seeing Barbie on store shelves, the public decided differently. By 1960, the mood owuld change and the orders started pouring into Mattel. It took several years for Mattel to catc up with the demand for Barbie. Within 10 years, the public purchased $500m worth of Barbie products

Barbie had under gone a lot of changes over the years and has managed to keep up with current trends in hairsytles, makeup, and clothing. She is a reflection of the history of fashion since her introduction to the toy market. Barbie has a universal appeal and collectors of all ages enjoy time spent and memories made with their dolls.Barbie; 1959-present.

Blog assignment #29/Facebook

                    Facebook

Facebook is a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. It's a great to meet friends and keep up on what they are doing. Once you add a friend to your Facebook friend list you will always know when they are adding things to their blog or updating their photos. Join Facebook groups to meet people like you, or search the profiles to find new friends. Facebook's classmates and co-worker search is good for finding friends too.

You can add photos and photo albums to your Facebook profile. Also, use the blog feature to create your own simple blog or you can merge your existing blog right into Facebook's blog. Search and browse for people on Facebook using just about any search features. You can not add music to your Facebook profile. You also cannot add video to your Facebook profile. You can also chat with your friends when they are online and send them mail.

You can use facebook just about anytime; when you want to chat with a friend or maybe you are bored. Facebook is beneficial because you can stay in touch with friends and family. Facebook can be harmful because people can see your personal information and predators can see your profile picture and stalk you. If you are under 13, you shouldn't have a facebook, unless your parents are aware, and are monitoring your facebook. You should never give out your personal information to people you don't know.

You shouldn't add people you don't really know.

People should watch what they say and on Facebook. If it is inappropriate, you will get caught. To stay safe, you can select who can see your profile, and what they can see. You select everyone, friends only, only you, or you can select out of your friends who can see your posts, pictures, and profile. You shouldn't put your contact information if your are under 18. All of your friends can see this and contact you; including the people you accept as your friends, that you don't know. You can choose to be safe on Facebook or ignore, but it's better safe than sorry.
