 Hello UBlies! As we all know, the holidays are just around the corner, and with that said so is our traditional annual UB Holiday Party and opportunities to get involved. There will be a lot of planning and contributions needed. We were thinking of possible dates for the party: Friday, Dec. 11th and Thursday, Dec. 17th. What dates sound better? What activities should we have? For example, last year we had a school gingerbread house contest and Secret Santa, but we can have more this year, depending on what the majority want for the party. Also, who would be interested in decorations? Who would be interesting in music? Please email me or Jessica if you are interested! Andy: (714) 535-2308.

- Two more tutors will be joining the UB tutoring team starting this week. One of them is someone that you are all very familiar with. Let's welcome back Jose Alamilla! The other tutor will be a new face to many of you, but she is not a stranger to UB. Lupe Saldivar is a former UBly from the class of 2006. We're excited to have the both of them join us during this school year, and they are very excited to get started. Below is a short introduction from Lupe:
 "My name is Guadalupe Saldivar and I am currently finishing my last year at UCI. I am a math major with a minor in education and Spanish. I plan to become a high school math teacher. My goal in life is to make a difference in students’ lives and help them achieve academically. I really enjoy working with high school students and I love learning about our education system. I graduated from Anaheim High School in 2006. I really enjoyed my high school years at Anaheim and that is why I want to teach there once I get my credentials. I was once part of the UB Program and I know what a great program this is, so I am very excited to be part of this program once again. I look forward to meeting you all."
- A general reminder about tutoring: Tutoring sessions are NOT required. All UBlies who attend tutoring should only do so if they choose to and because they want to get help with their school work. Those who attend tutoring for reasons other then to get help with school work will be asked to leave tutoring. This may sound harsh, but we want to ensure that those students who are going to tutoring to get work done are not being distracted by other students who are there for other reasons, such as to hang out, or because they are being made to go by their parents. I highly encourage UBlies to hang with one another, but tutoring is not the place for that.
- Today marks the start of the second quarter at school! We want to wish everyone continued succcess in school. I hope everyone is getting the grades they want in their classes. If not, don't forget to take advantage of the tutoring sessions.
- SENIORS: The UC and CSU applications are due at the end of this month! If you have not started on it, OMG! Get on it!! If you have started, get a move on and finish it. There is no point in waiting until the last minute. The best advice we can give you is this: GET IT DONE!
