PRINCIPAL’S
MESSAGE: Jan. 31, 2005 |
Science on Display
Last week we were fortunate to host
twenty science teachers from Korea
who came to visit science classrooms.
Organized through the Lawrence Hall
of Science, these teachers spent the
day observing classrooms and
reviewing materials. It is always a
pleasure to share what we do with
other educators. We were honored to
have them as our guests.
Amazing Fundraiser
The Tsunami Relief Dinner hosted at
Neil Cummins was a great example of
a community coming together to help
those in need. The kitchen was
buzzing with students from Neil
Cummins and Hall, parents, and
teachers. All of those involved seemed
to have a great time doing it. Along
with all of the money that was raised, it
was clear that everyone’s spirits were
raised, as well.
Academic Achievements
The second quarter is in the books,
and we are officially past the half way
point for the year. With the report
cards, also comes recognition for
those on the Honor Roll and
Principal’s List. These students
deserve recognition for maintaining
excellent grades in all of their classes.
Honor Roll students earned at least a
3.5 grade point average for the quarter
and Principal’s List students earned a
perfect 4.0. I am proud of these
students for their accomplishments. [NOTE:
The Honor Roll & Principal’s List are published in the full
version of the Bulletin.]

 Parent
Book Club
Thursday, Feb. 3 • Hall Library
Open to all parents, Hall PTA is hosting its first Parent Book Club, featuring Right
From Wrong, Instilling a Sense of Integrity in Your Child, by Michael Riera
and Joseph Di Prisco. Topics covered in the book include sportsmanship, cheating,
emerging sexuality, illness in the family, and bullying.
“…after all, their integrity is one thing, perhaps the only thing,
that can never be taken away by
anybody else.”
“…a person of integrity, like a whole number, is a whole person,
a person somehow undivided.”
The meeting will be facilitated by counselor Molly Cohen and held in the Hall
Library at 7:00pm. We encourage everyone to come for the discussion, even if
you have not read the book!
