Please dive into thefoundress.net to check out our school’s official literary magazine, The Foundress! We will start to promote it now that it’s out, but please encourage students to check it out and submit! We are ending the year with poetry, so students should definitely send in poems for publication, but we’re open to all types of writing and art.
Stay tuned for our upcoming poetry reading/breakfast in May. Our hard copy will be released by the end of April.
The Literary Magazine, the Foundress, is hosting a poetic scavenger hunt during Unity Week. Here’s how it works:
1. LOOK (don’t take) for words/phrases that will be posted throughout campus. Take a pic of ones you find- leave the words posted where you found them!
2. With at least 10 of the poetry slips, arrange them into a poem. You are allowed to add on these slips with other lines or phrases. Put them in any order you want.
3. Submit your poem with subject heading “Poetic scavenger hunt” to foundresswriting@berkeley.net. Make sure to include your name. Due Friday, April 22nd at 5pm.
4. The lit mag team will judge the poems the following week and announce a winner by May 2nd.
5. There will be prizes: for 1st – a gift certificate to Pegasus Books, 2nd and third place. Winners will be invited to read their poems at our poetry reading on May 25th during first period. We will also post the poems on our website and instagram.
BHS WRESTLING OPEN MAT
Starting this week, the wrestling open mat will be moving from Wednesday to Thursday. It will still be 4-6 in the wrestling room,. If you want to take part, all you need to bring is athletic clothing and if we have shoes in your size, we’ll get you a pair. If you have any questions, find someone on the team or go to room H112 at lunch to ask Mr. Nathan.

Monday is Pajama Day
Tuesday is TV/Movie Character Day
Wednesday is Country Day > So yes, this could be country as in the genre of music, farm life or even farm animals, and if you interpret a different way, you could represent your family’s country of origin. A lot of options…
Thursday is Decade’s Day with 60s for 9th grade, 70s for 10th grade, 80s for 11th grade & 90s/00s for 12th grade.
On Friday, we conclude Unity Week with Red & Gold Jacket Pride along with the spring carnival in the afternoon.
Reminder for planning those outfits…be aware of your choice of outfit and its impact on others. We dress up to have fun, but not to make fun of others…
Be on the lookout for more details from the Unity Team.
Get Involved in Carnival!
If you have a group or club that would like to participate in the carnival, please contact Mr. V, Chloe Burke or Hanim Nuru.

Notification of Non-Discrimination Policy
The Berkeley Unified School District is committed to providing a hostile-free working and learning environment. The District prohibits discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, and retaliation, based on actual or perceived race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity/expression, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding/lactation status (related medical conditions), religion, color, national origin (including language restrictions and possession of a driver’s license (issued under Vehicle Code), ancestry, immigration status, physical or mental disability (including clinical depression and bipolar disorder, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, epilepsy, seizure disorder, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and heart attack), medical condition (cancer-related and genetic characteristics), military and veteran status, marital status, registered domestic partner status, age (40 and above), genetic information, political belief or affiliation (unless union related), a person’s association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics, or any other basis protected by federal, state or local law, ordinance, or regulation in any program or activity it conducts or to which it provides significant assistance.
Discrimination is different treatment based on a protected characteristic in the context of an educational program, work or activity without a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason that interferes with or limits the individual’s ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities, or privileges provided by the District or includes an adverse employment action.
Hostile environment harassment occurs when a target is subjected to unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic, which is both subjectively offensive to the target and would be offensive to a reasonable person of similar circumstances/characteristics and is sufficiently so severe, and so pervasive to interfere with or limit an individual’s ability to effectively work or to participate in or benefit from the services, activities, or opportunities offered by the District. Harassment may take many forms, including but not limited to, verbal remarks and name-calling, graphic and written statements, or any conduct that may be threatening or humiliating. Harassment based on any of the above protected categories is a form of unlawful discrimination and will not be tolerated by the District and can result in disciplinary action against the offending student or employee.
Upon witnessing an act of discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, and retaliation, based on actual or perceived protected characteristics, school personnel are required to take immediate steps to intervene when it is safe to do so. Once a school/office has expressed notice or reason to know of such conduct, whether carried out by employees, students, or third parties, it should take immediate and appropriate steps to investigate, determine what occurred, take prompt and effective steps reasonably calculated to end the conduct, eliminate a hostile environment, if one has been created and prevent the conduct from occurring again. These steps should be taken regardless of whether an individual makes a complaint or asks the school/office to take action. Complaints are protected from retaliation. The District prohibits retaliation against any person who files a complaint or an appeal, reports instances of noncompliance, discrimination, harassment, bullying, and intimidation, or who participates in the complaint-filing or investigation process. This nondiscriminatory policy applies to all acts related to school activity or school attendance within any school/office under the jurisdiction of the Berkeley Unified School District.
For more information, or to file a complaint please contact:District Title IX Coordinator/Compliance Officer Berkeley Unified School District, 2020 Bonar Street, Room 117, Berkeley CA 94702 Phone: (510) 486-9338; Email: complaints@berkeley.net
