Saturday Activities For High School
The high school implies a mandatory Saturday class. These are called Saturday Activities and affect students' final grades. Usually the only exceptions are members of the Glee Club and Varsity sports players. Everyone has to go to school, as attendance is strict. Students with deficiencies from the previous year will be sent to "Special Bible" class for students under probation. They also attend regular Physical Education class. Exemptions in PE are also given to some classes such as the Western Orchestra, Chinese Orchestra, and the Robotics Team.
In addition, some of the more recognized activities are the Grace Journal Journalism Staff, Glee Club, Chinese Orchestra, Western Orchestra, The Robotics Team, and the Grace Christian Service Scouts.
Other students prefer to attend the math training classes during Saturdays. The students receive their Saturday Activities grades from these classes.

Famous quotes containing the words saturday, activities, high and/or school:
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“In the most high and palmy state of Rome,
A little ere the mightiest Julius fell,
The graves stood tenantless and the sheeted dead
Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
