	After Prom	
It is a Southview High School tradition for parents to host an
“After-Prom” event immediately following the Senior Prom on May 11th. The purpose of After-Prom is to provide a fun, safe, alcohol and substance free environment where our students can continue the celebration. The After-Prom event is held at Southview from 10:30 PM on May 11th through 2:00 AM on May 12th.

The success of the event depends largely on donations from the community and parent volunteers.

Our Cougar Pride program is expanding…again. Students can now nominate their teachers for the same monthly recognition they receive from the staff. The only difference is that staff members will not be eligible for any of the monthly prizes. Instead, each staff member who is recognized by a student will receive a certiﬁcate that will give details about why they were nominated.

I included the link and QR code in the weekly newsletter so that parents could use the same Google form to nominate a staff member. If you click on the link, you will see ways in which our staff might exhibit the core values--respectful, responsible, and resilient.

If you feel a staff member has exceeded your expectations or exempliﬁed the core values in some way, consider taking a few minutes to type a sentence or two about their performance. The recognition will mean a lot to them!

Bryce Ellet is the Senior Spotlight this week! Bryce attended Stranahan Elementary for ﬁrst through ﬁfth grade and Timberstone Junior High for sixth through eighth grade. Bryce shared that his family enjoys traveling and often takes fun vacations during the summer. Some of their favorite vacation destinations include Arizona, Alaska, Death Valley National Park in California, and Hawaii. The Ellet’s currently have three cats but have had plenty of other pets the past few years including dogs and rabbits. Mr. Jones had this to say about Bryce, “Bryce is a pleasure to have in class. He is a solid programmer and works well with others, as shown by back-to-back National Top 20 ﬁnishes in BPA’s Software Engineering Team competition.” We are excited to honor Bryce this week!

Q: What are you looking forward to most in your Senior year?
A: I am looking forward to the completion of my senior project for programming. I think it will be cool to present my project to a group of developers in the ﬁeld I plan on pursuing. I am also looking forward to graduation.

Q: What are your plans after high school?
A: I plan to attend the University of Toledo College of Engineering and study computer science.

Q: What advice would you give to underclassmen?
A: Some advice I would give to underclassmen would be to complete most of your assignments, especially during your freshman year since that year is more important than you might think. I would also recommend completing most of your credits before your senior year since you won’t want to do anything during your last year.

Q: Do you have a job outside of school? What is it and have you learned from your job?
A: I got a job in the summer before my sophomore year which I still have. I work as a food service supervisor at the Toledo Zoo and I have learned a lot about leadership and hard work through my job.

Q: Who is one teacher that has inspired or supported you throughout high school?
A: One teacher that has inspired me would be Mr. Jones. I have taken a variety of classes from him including Intro Programming, Honors Programming 1 and 2, 2D Game Design, and AP Computer Science.
Overall Mr. Jones is a great teacher and I am very interested in the subject he teaches.

Q: What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
A: In my free time I enjoy playing basketball with some friends and playing video games. Right now I play a lot of Valorant and it’s always more fun with friends. I also enjoy working on different programming projects I’m doing.
