Congratulations to the TLH Jazz Band for annually being asked to have the honor of welcoming the
holiday season to Anderson!
Hanna Jazz Band to begin Anderson’s holiday celebration by
lighting the city Christmas tree!
All TLH Students to Receive
Chromebooks! Largely because of the outcome of the penny sales tax increase passing, we are going to be able to
issue all 10th-12th grade students Chromebooks in January (9th graders already have them)! We are
excited about the academic possibilities that these devices will afford our students, and happy that our
students will now have the opportunity to experience the “one-to-one” use of computers that students
in other districts enjoy. We anticipate that you may have questions and/or concerns about the new
technology and want to give you the opportunity to attend an informational session to have those
addressed. We plan to cover the purpose and vision for the use of the devices to support instruction,
any fees associated with the devices, and answer all of your questions.
There will be two sessions available:
December 3 at 9:00 am in our lecture hall
The second session will be held at the career campus. We will send out more information on that
session once the details are finalized. The form that must be signed by both parents and students has a
statement where the signers affirm that they are familiar with the policies, procedures, and practices in
the Anderson School District Five’s “One to One” Handbook. This handbook is located online at
http://goo.gl/c6MBcZ. It can also be found on our webpage under the Parent Tab.
PARENTS: FORMS AND MONEY DUE FOR CHROMEBOOKS
Students will be attending a training session during school hours and will receive a form to bring home
for you to sign on November 19. Your teen will not be issued a Chromebook until the form is signed
and returned and the $10.00 bag fee is paid (reduced lunch students will pay $1.95 and free lunch
students pay nothing). The deadline to return the signed form to the first block teacher is December 5,
but we would appreciate getting them back immediately. Students off campus first block should
submit them in the front office to Heather Holliday. Money will be paid to Mrs. Hughes in the school
store. Students may do this before school, during lunch, or during homeroom time.
New Red Cord Program for Seniors Who
Donate Blood
The district has approved the Red Cord program for seniors who donate at least 3 times before
graduation. This program is an initiative by AnMed Health Blood Center - to recognize graduating
seniors who have donated three or more times during their high school careers (via: High School
sponsored blood drives, community sponsored blood drives or visiting the Blood Center) by
presenting them with a special “Red Cord” to be worn during their graduation commencement
ceremonies, honoring them for their ‘life-saving’ gifts. They will also be recognized at the Senior
Awards night. When giving blood at a different location, students must designate the donation for
their particular high schools. Students ineligible to give blood (due to age, weight, or medical
restrictions) may recruit family members or friends to donate on their behalf (all donations must be
designated to the student at the time of donation to receive credit).
Also, previously, anyone with a tattoo had to wait a year to give blood. That is no longer the
case. As long as the tattoo was done at a licensed parlor that uses sterile equipment and non-reuseable
ink, there is no wait period to give blood.
Please encourage your 17-year-old who weighs at least 116 to donate blood on December 4 at the
Blood Mobile in the TLH parking lot between 8 am and 3 pm. Family members and friends are also
encouraged to donate at TLH on December 4.
Midterm Grade Reports Midterm grade reports will be issued to students on Wednesday, December 3, 2014.
Interact Club Meeting There will be a meeting of the Interact Club this Thursday, 11/20/14, during homeroom in Room 217.
Corbin Dorsey: Girls Tennis All-State Congrats to Corbin Dorsey for her outstanding season in Girls’ Tennis! She has now received All-State
honors, making all of us at TLH proud!
TLH Fishing Team Upcoming Events The annual T. L. Hanna Invitational Fishing Tournament will be on Saturday, November 22, at
Broyles Landing. See Coach Ray for details. Good luck, Jacket Fishermen!
Signing Day
TLH’s first signing day of the year was held on November 14, 2014, at 10 am. TLH is proud to
announce that three athletes have signed letters of intent to play college athletics. Congratulations to
Nicholas Parilla, signing with Truman University in wrestling; Griff Tolly, signing with Presbyterian
College in cross country; and Adam Hill, signing with the University of South Carolina in baseball.
This is the first of several signing days we will have this year for our athletes who will be going on to
play at the college level.
Nicholas Parrilla will attend Truman University for wrestling.
Griff Tolly will be attending Presbyterian College for cross country.
Adam Hill will be attending the University of South Carolina for baseball.
Competitive Cheer Ranks High in State On Saturday, November 15, 2014, the T. L. Hanna Competitive Cheer team attended the State
Competition at the Bon Secour Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC. This was the first year the team
made it to the state competition. There were 17 very talented teams in the 4A division, and we
placed 8th. This season was truly amazing and puts our competition team as part of the top 10 in
South Carolina. Congratulations to Coach Kelly Jones and our amazing Competition Cheer Team!

Amazing Brain Science: Sleep, Adolescents
and Risk By Erin Cassidy-Eagle PhD / June 20, 2014
I love sleep. Not just sleeping, but the science of it all. This is why some of my friends and colleagues
call me “The Sleep Geek.” It’s a badge I wear proudly. My research looks at the effects of sleep on
older people. Evidence suggests that poor sleep can contribute to, or perhaps accelerate, memory loss
and cognitive decline in older populations. We’re involved in a study exploring whether sleep
therapy—helping people learn how to achieve better sleep—might improve outcomes in memory and
cognition over time.
In adults, short sleep is linked to a wide range of problems, including obesity, hypertension, and
mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and suicidality. Sleep affects day-to-day choices and
behaviors, too. If you stay up all night, you’ll probably make riskier decisions at the casino. You’ll also
be ordering up some delicious high-fat, high-carb snacks to keep you fueled up for that game of
roulette—cravings for such fare increase as sleep decreases.
Our Brains and Sleep: When We Don't Get Enough
Loss of sleep directly affects mechanisms in our brains. Our prefrontal cortex is especially susceptible to
effects from poor sleep. It acts as our brain’s command center, decision maker and emotion regulator.
It’s the hall monitor for our personal social behaviors. It’s a big deal when it’s not working at top
pitch.
Another part of the brain that’s particularly affected by sleep loss is the ventral striatum, part of a
complex network of structures that mediate our responses to anticipated rewards. Your ventral
striatum is strongly activated when you anticipate things such as receiving money, tasting delicious
food or receiving praise or social rewards.
The ventral striatum and other structures interact with the executive-type functions of the prefrontal
cortex to evaluate things such as the value of a reward, the likelihood of receiving it and the risks
necessary to achieve it. You can thank them when you’d like that bicycle in the window, but not so
much that you’ll risk breaking the window to steal it.
Adolescent Brains and Sleep
Adolescents and young adults are a high-risk population when it comes to short sleep. Physically, they
need 9 or more hours of sleep a night, but 9 in 10 report getting less than this. Their internal clocks
change with puberty, so they don’t start feeling sleepy until late at night. School schedules typically
demand they awake quite early. Their weekday-weekend sleep patterns often change drastically.
They’re likely to stay up much later on weekends and sleep later in the day, which means their brains
and bodies are struggling Monday morning to re-regulate their sleep cycle for the week.
Adolescents are also going through an astonishing period of physical, social and mental development.
They have more freedom. They become more social. There are physical and hormonal changes in
their brains that influence emotions, motivations, sexual feelings and impulses, and response to risk
and reward. Their neurocognitive structures are becoming more mature, but it’s an ongoing process.
They’re still making plenty of poor decisions. It all adds up to a period of great excitement and great
hazard. Sexual behavior, alcohol and other drug use, criminal activity, and death by injury and suicide
all increase at this time. Depression, anxiety and other mental health problems often emerge.
So, while healthy sleep is important at all ages, it’s especially vital during the vulnerable time of
adolescence. The challenges adolescents face at baseline, simply through the normal process of human
development, are in many cases exactly those exacerbated by poor sleep.

in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.

How To Make Extracurriculars Look Best
On College Applications
Posted: 11/06/2014 3:25 pm EST Updated: 11/06/2014 3:59 pm EST
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/06/how-to-make-extracurriculars-look-best-on-college-applications_n_6116386.html?utm_hp_ref=teen
You’ve probably been told all throughout high school to get involved and participate in clubs and
extracurriculars. For many college admissions officers, seeing that you’re really committed to your
activities proves that you’re responsible and you can manage your time well. Now that it’s college
application season, it’s time to impress admissions officers with your extracurricular involvement. Here
are a few tips get the most out of your clubs and make them look awesome on your college
applications!
1. List your extracurriculars in order of importance
On the Common App, there’s space to list 10 activities. If you’re a super-involved student, this may
mean having to weigh the importance of your clubs and cutting a few out of your application.
“It’s important to list things in order of importance and significant contribution,” says Donnaree
Wynter Grant, assistant director of admissions events at Northeastern University. For example, list
being the captain of your debate team for four years over a single semester you spent playing JV
volleyball. If you’re committed to an activity for longer, it’s probably more significant to you, and
therefore should be listed before activities that aren’t as important in your life.
2. Make sure your descriptions are clear
Grant also stresses that it’s important to describe your clubs clearly enough so someone who is reading
your application for the first time will understand what the activity entailed. “For example, don’t use
acronyms for titles,” she advises. “I won’t know what the ‘ABC club’ is unless you explain what it is
and your role within the club.” Make sure you spell out what the club is titled, what it involves and
what your position is within the club.
Michael Parcella, the assistant direction of undergraduate admissions at UMass Boston, gives some
similar advice. “Letting the college know more about how you were involved rather than just writing
down the name of a club is a good a start to best presenting your information,” he says.
Keep in mind that admissions officers look at hundreds of applications from all over the globe, so they
won’t always know what exactly you’re talking about. For example, don’t simply write “NHS” for the
name of the organization and check off the years you were involved. Instead, call the organization by
its full name, “National Honor Society,” give a brief description of what it is either in your own words
or from the organization’s website (if possible) and then specify if you held a leadership position (like
“president” or “treasurer”) and for which years of commitment. This will make it much easier for
admissions officers to read through your list and gather an idea of what kinds of activities you were
involved in.
