PRINCIPAL’S
MESSAGE: Sept. 27, 2004 |
On the Campaign Trail
As I write this message the school is gearing up for the Election
Assembly on Thursday. By the time you read this, the speeches
will have been given and the new Student Council Cabinet will
have been named. This election has been an impressive display
of student action and energy. The candidates have actively sought
out the input from other students and have worked hard to identify
the key issues that face students at Hall. This week I have worked
with Art Nelson and Carolyn Pruden, the teachers in charge of
Student Activities, to approve campaign materials and hear speeches.
Throughout the process the students have demonstrated creativity
and originality in their posters, stickers, slogans and speeches.
On the eve of the assembly I can honestly say that all of our
candidates are winners. They all chose to become involved and
to offer themselves for the benefit of their peers. I commend
their commitment, their activism, and most of all, their bravery.
I am confident that the school will be well served with such
a plethora of high caliber candidates.
Come Chalk With Us
The Hall Chalk Festival will be this Friday at 3:30 p.m. It
is a great family event when children can draw, enjoy music and
food, and see the work of accomplished artists. I hope you will
bring the whole family and partake all of what the event has
to offer. It’s also an opportunity to experience our new
field and play structure when you are not drawing.
Magazine Subscriptions
Monday, October 4th will be the annual QSP assembly which kicks
off the magazine subscription fundraiser for the year. If you
were thinking of
subscribing to a magazine, wait until next week so that your
subscription can support the school and earn your child some
nifty prizes. The proceeds of the fundraiser go to Student Council
and finance all of their activities for the year. It is the only
fundraiser for the Student Council for the year, so order early
and order often. Remember that magazine subscriptions also make
fine gifts and require no shopping at all. You can have your
holiday shopping done in October!
Filming Wraps Up
With the end of the Student Council election comes the end of
the documentary filming. Not surprisingly, our students are naturals
on camera. Having a camera crew here is like holding a mirror
up to the school – a very detailed mirror. This mirror
has captured the energy, optimism and spirit of our students.
I can’t wait to see the finished product (which will take
at least a year) and see our school on the big screen.
Thank you to all of the teachers and students who managed even
with the inconvenience of having a crew on site. And thank you
to the film crew – first, for choosing us to film, and
second, for allowing our students to tell their stories, share
their hopes, and be themselves. You can come back anytime.
