EAST HAMILTON MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL CONDUCTING

WEB POLL FOR TEAM NAME

 

The new middle/high school, serving the East Brainerd/ Apison/ Ooltewah area, is scheduled to open its doors to students in the fall of 2009.   The name of the school and the Principal has been confirmed, East Hamilton Middle and High School and Pam Dantzler respectively.  Now the school is faced with establishing an identity.  The colors of a school and the team name go into many planning efforts with a school, especially a newly built school.   According to Pam Dantzler, “Selection of a team name that involves the community surrounding the facility is crucial to not only building the school culture and pride, but also connects the school to those who support it.”

 

The purpose of the Unite for School Success (USS) group is to promote strong community support and confidence in the school by making sure the students, parents and neighbors of the school are involved the evolution of the school (including financially).  With this shared goal in mind, Ms. Dantzler and USS are sponsoring a Team Name Selection Poll on the East Hamilton website, www.EastHamilton.com.  Starting on July 14th, you may log on the website and cast your vote for one of 3 different selections. The options are:  East Hamilton Blazers, East Hamilton Hurricanes, or the East Hamilton Knights.  (The USS group has been using East Hamilton Hurricanes as the team name until the final name is selected because Hurricane Creek runs through the school site.) The deadline for voting is July 25th

 

The team name is only the first step.  The team name is not necessarily the mascot for a school.  For instance, the University of Tennessee team name is the Volunteers.  However, the mascot is Smoky the dog.  USS will ask students to create a new mascot this fall in a special contest.  “Enlisting the students in making the choice brings their voice into the process.  Everything we do in the future must center on the students,” says Ms. Dantzler when discussing the team name and future mascot.

 

Final team name selection will be announced at the 2nd annual fundraising party which will take place September 6, 2008 in the Council Fire Clubhouse.  The first party raised $18,000 for the new school.  Please contact DeAnn Rauth at 899-4933 or check our website for more information on ticket purchase.   To make a donation or to volunteer your time, please contact Curtis Smith at 423-596-4457, Scott Gentry at 423-320-2995 or Mechelle Forgani at 423-490-0620.

On April 9, the Ailey II company will present master dance classes at two city recreation centers from 6:30 to 8 p.m. A free dance class for boys and girls ages 8 to 12 years old will be held at the Brainerd Recreation Center, while a $15 class for intermediate and advanced dancers will be held at the John A. Patten Recreation Center. Both opportunities will give participants the opportunity to work with nationally acclaimed dancers from Ailey II. On April 10, Ailey II will visit the Center for Creative Arts to lead classes with selected middle and high school students at the public performing arts school.

 

“We are thrilled that this nationally acclaimed dance company will be performing in Chattanooga and reaching out to youth in our community,” says Anna VanCura of Ballet Tennessee, which is presenting the Ailey II performance and special events. “Our hope is that Ailey II will inspire young boys and girls by showing them how exciting a career in dance can be.”

 

Ballet Tennessee offers several programs for underrepresented youth in the Chattanooga community, including the Talent Identification Program and Dance Alive. Each summer, 65 children participate in Dance Alive, a free dance education program that provides inner city and rural youth the opportunity to learn ballet and modern dance alongside seasoned professionals. The program is a collaboration between Ballet Tennessee and the City of Chattanooga.

 

Reserved seats to the Ailey II performance at the Tivoli Theatre range from $10 to $30. Individual performance tickets can be ordered at (423) 642-8497 or ChattanoogaOnStage.com. Corporate packages and Evening Packages that also include an After Glow Dessert Reception are available by contacting Ballet Tennessee at (423) 821-2055 or visiting www.ballettennessee.org.

 

Individual seats and tables of eight are also available for an Ailey II luncheon to take place on April 10 at Bessie Smith Hall. The luncheon will include a performance by the Ballet Tennessee Youth Ensemble and a special presentation by Mayor Ron Littlefield.

 

The Ailey II performance and special events are presented by Ballet Tennessee in partnership with the Chattanooga African American Museum; City of Chattanooga Parks and Recreation Department; Department of Education, Arts and Culture; and the Center for Creative Arts.

Girls Celebrating Women’s Achievements in Chattanooga

 

Girls Incorporated of Chattanooga is proud to honor women in Chattanooga who have made significant contributions to the advancement of women in our community at their fourth annual UnBought and UnBossed awards program. This event is planned for Wednesday April 23, 2008, 7:30 a.m., at Bessie Smith Hall on MLK Boulevard Downtown.   Nominations are now being accepted for these prestigious awards.

UnBought and UnBossed is a tribute to the spirit and determination of Shirley Chisholm, the first African American woman to run for president of the United States.  Chisholm declared herself to be a representative of all people and made a commitment to serve as a leader who would remain “unbought and unbossed.”

Chattanooga is rich in history, and honoring women in our city is part of that..  Honoring Chattanooga’s influential women at UnBought and UnBossed is our way of celebrating the powerful impact they have had in our community.

The UnBought and UnBossed honorees are selected and then honored by teen girls who participate in Girls Incorporated’s activities. The girls work with these women in our community whom they consider role models to prepare presentations on the accomplishments of these honorees.

At the UnBought and UnBossed breakfast ceremony, the girls will illustrate the link between past, present and future generations of female leadership by honoring their role models with awards and recognition.

Women Build Event

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanooga will be starting their Women Build Event April 19, 2008.  Women Build is a house totally funded and built by the women of Chattanooga. This event promotes the empowerment of women and gives them the opportunity to explore new talents.  It is even more special this year due to the fact that we are building an EarthCraft home.  It saves the homeowner money while protecting the environment.  I have attached our brochure that tells more information on the event.  Feel free to pass it along to those who you think might be interested. 

 

We are currently looking for event sponsors to support women build.  We have many sponsorship levels and benefits for businesses that partner with us.

 

We are also signing up volunteers right now.  The spots fill up fast, so if you or a group from your organization would like to come out and help, I would encourage you to sign up as soon as possible.

 

We will work on our construction site every week starting April 19- the end of July. Our work days and times are as follows: Wednesdays 9:00am-12:00pm, Thursdays 1:30pm-3:30 pm and Saturday 9:00-12:00 (Lunch is 12-1) and 1:00-3:00.  If you have a large enough group that would like to come out on Wednesday or Thursday, we can have work on the construction site all day.  We have room for about 15 women at one time on the jobsite.  If you would like more information, give me a call or email me.
