1. Recently, Fashion Fund held a networking event with a major turn-out. I must say the de-signs of Reuben Reuel and his clothing line De-mestik captured the most eyes of the even-ing. Another Designer Highlight of the Night was Allison Mitchell who is known for her hand-bags made of all-natural fur or hide. Student vol-unteers included Breon-na Williams, Monica Ransom, Cece White, and Phylicia Anderson. Their duties for the night included standing by each designer’s work , and when people
came to view their products they talked about the designer and the style they represented. Oth-er attendees for the night includ-ed The Chamber of Commerce, Urban League and Radio One.
2. Cinco De Mayo Bingo to benefit the Siba Scholarship Fund was filled with lots of hugs, laughter, and Bingo. The turn out for the event was amazing and an esti-mate of 70+ People
showed up to support the SSF. The Tequila Pull turned out to be amazingly successful including one dear Bingoer who bought 6 mini Bottles and won the bigger bottle. One must-have for next year: more
tequila.
“I love street style and
color. Big earrings, handbags and sun-
glasses are my must
have over everything.”—
Breonna Williams
“I consider my style as edgy, fun, and comfort-
able. My must have
item is a jacket. They
go with everything”– Angel Haynes
“My style is minimal
and clean. Plants are a
must in any home.
They are the life to add in the home. It makes
space look more livable.
Makes spaces more alive
and happy.”– Jaimie Haas
“I must say my go to style is
girly, but I do like to play off the seasons. My must have
item is a purse. I cant go
any where without it. “
– Jasmine Griggs

Hey Guys! It is May and you know
what that means. Yes, I know we all dislike finals, but they are
coming. Here are a few tips on
how to pass.
1.Experiement with Different
forms of Studying Not everyone studies the same so find a
method that works for you.
2. Stay Active Did you
know exercising releases
more blood to the brain,
allowing it to have more energy to retain more infor-
mation.
3.Flash Cards Flash Cards are a simple and easy way to learn all
the material. Mix them up be-
cause most likely the questions
will not be in order come finals
day.
4.Visualize If you are a visual
learner like me, then this method will surely work for you. Creating
a mind map of your study guide
makes your studying a little easier
by helping visualize the concepts
and how they are related to eachother.
5. Last but not least, At-
tend your Reviews People.
Do not miss final review
day. Your teacher goes over
the structure of the test and possibly some questions
that will be on it so you
don’t want to miss it.
