You probably thought recycling happened by itself. We have hidden camera proof that recycling is alive and well at Henderson.

What it is like Having A Twin Brother Jacob at School
It has been almost 15 years with my brother. Don’t think that we always get along but we when we don’t it is just a phase at our age right now. Now in school we constantly are seeing each other in the hall. And in classes we can work together.
Having a twin brother can be helpful if the teacher lets you do the same topic on a project so we can both do half the work but sometimes we wait until the last minute. We will get older and we will have a lot more skills that we can use as a advantage. Another reason why we don’t work the best is because we have different interests. Maybe it could change when we get older. ~Jabin

What it is like Having A Twin Brother Jabin at School
Having a twin brother with you everyday really sucks sometimes because you can get tired of somebody with you all time. Having a twin brother means you will face the same problems in life because we live in the same household. We share everything. If one of us gets something the other person gets it and that gets annoying when you just want to be independent for once. But my parents want it to be like that forever. My mom is especially like that and treats everybody equally.
With school it seems like everything is like a competition sometimes and I get tired of it. When it comes to school and having to be on time it sucks because you have to wait for the person because you can’t just go when you want so it makes you late sometimes. But it’s always awesome having that forever friend with you when you need a friend. ~Jacob |

Last Semester of High School
I’m excited but scared to be done with high school. 4 years of my life went by faster than I ever could’ve thought. Sophomore and Junior year were definitely the hardest for me but just remember to keep yourself motivated and you’ll succeed in anything you want.
All through high school I goofed off and tried to be the “class clown” and now I’m starting to realize that I should’ve cared more about myself; not what everyone else thought about me. If I would’ve focused more on school I would have the same number of friends I do now but I would’ve been benefiting myself because now I look back and think, did I benefit anyone by trying to be funny? I never thought I’d believe my parents when they told me that school is important and will affect the rest of my life but it really does and I just wish I could’ve realized that earlier. I am very excited to be done with school and what I’ll do next with my life but I regret a lot of decisions I made in not only high school but school in general. I’m ready to start living my life without regrets. ~Brennan |
Worksite Learning
|
Have you ever thought you deserve some sort of extra credit from work when the state takes from your paycheck?
Or, maybe you need an extra credit for an elective to graduate but don’t want to take summer school? Both of those problems can be solved with the Worksite Learning packet that allots you .5 elective credit for every 180 hours of work. I believe everyone should get a chance to know about such a great thing. Speak to Erin for more information. ~Nathanael |

Meet Henderson's school board Representative Fauna
Recently, I spoke to our School Board representative, Fauna, about what it was like to have such an important role in our Henderson Bay community. “I have to go to school board meetings that frequently meet once or twice a month....some that last four or more hours!” Fauna tells me.
At these meetings she says she sits at a table with the representatives from Gig Harbor High School, Finlay and Keir, who happen to be twins and, according to Fauna, switch places in the meetings from time to time., and the Peninsula High School representative, Dora.
At the beginning of each meeting, there is a brief statement about what is happening at each school that each representative must make; since Henderson Bay is a smaller school, ours is usually much more brief. Fauna tells me that these meetings have helped immensely with her ability in public speaking and professionalism.

What are you doing this Summer?
Any plans for between now and when school gets out?
Story by Ryan
I was interested in what students around school want to do before school gets out (or even after).
I was interested in what trips they want to go on or were they just gonna sit at home and chill out. These are the answers I got.
I talked to Aiden L
“Before I get out for school I wanna try and go to the beach and also go camping. In general I just wanna get out more before school gets out and my plan is basically the same for summer, just try and get out of my house as much as possible."
I talked with Connor.
“Before school gets out I want to just go to the skate park with friends and drive around Washington pretty much.
I really don’t have anything special planned….just everyday stuff I do all the time.”
I also spoke with Alison.
“Before we get out for summer i'm probably just going to sit at home and invite friends over,
I might go out and do something with my friends like go to Seattle but i'm not really sure.”

Where would you go if you could travel anywhere on a field trip?
This question was posed by reporter Ryan and this is what he learned abut three people's dream.
JaredIf I could take a field trip anywhere I would probably visit some random foreign country because it would be such an amazing experience and one I feel like I could learn from; if I had to pick a specific country it would probably be China, Japan, Italy, or Mexico.
I would like to be able to take my friends as well and go sightseeing while on this trip and get to go visit different landmarks like the Eiffel tower. |
SolieIf I could go anywhere on a field trip I would honestly just probably sit at home instead of going to school because I prefer staying at home and having no one bother me.
(Solie has no recollection of this conversation) |
AidanIf I could go anywhere for a field trip I would probably just visit some random state within the United States of America, I don’t really want to travel outside of this country so I would just visit a fun place here like a fair or waterpark. That's basically it, I'd take some of my friends with me and we would probably just get a hotel to stay at and we could just eat fast food when we got hungry. |

For the returning 2016-2017 school year, Henderson Bay hired three new teachers: Tate, Shannon and Lisa. Tate teaches art and yoga, Shannon teaches English and drama and Lisa teaches science. Shannon lived overseas in Dublin, Ireland before moving to Washington State. Tate was crowned prom queen in high school and Lisa majored in biology and also minored in political science…but what else do we know about the new teachers? What are their hobbies, favorite movie, book, music and more?

New Student Lunch Photo with Brian and Ace

So I started attending Henderson Bay High School (HBHS) on Monday.... so far this week is going pretty well. The teachers are nice; they have smaller classes than other schools so there's more one on one time with them. I feel like I learn better/more that way. After one week I would recommend this school if that is what you're looking for.
