Hartmann Homework: 2013

Seventh Grade Summer Homework

Class of 2014 and family,

Your homework this summer is to seriously think about what high school you wish to attend. Visit schools, look at their webpages, talk to people who you know who have attended these schools. Catholic high schools are very expensive and great public high schools are very competitive.

Do not apply to a school you are 100% sure you do not want to attend. If you apply, it may be your only offer. This is especially the case for public high schools.

If you list Franklin K. Lane High School, Townsend Harris High School, Benjamin Cardozo High School and Bayside High School in that order, you are more likely to get into Lane. Once you are matched, the program stops.

Also, if your average is 80, it is not likely that you will get a seat at Townsend Harris, that school has very high standards (Second Honors or above).

There is lots of information about high school testing and preparation at here.

Good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to email me using the information on the right of this page.

Mr. Hartmann

St. Valentine's Day

Happy St. Valentine's Day!

Saint Valentine is the anglicized name for Valentinus. There were at least two saints named this. St. Valentine of Rome who was a priest and martyred on February 14, 269 AD. Also, St. Valentine of Terni was a bishop of Interamna who was martyred on February 14, 197 AD. Why don't we know about them? Because the Roman empire didn't keep much documentation on Christian activities, because they were thought unimportant and few Christians back then were literate.

Valentinus comes from the Latin word "valere" meaning to be strong or powerful. It is the root of the word valient.

The holy day did not become associated with "romantic love" until nearly 1500 years later in the late 18th century!
