PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE: Feb. 13, 2006

Minimum Day February 17
This year Career Day will be an early release day. Students will be released at 12:45pm. Hot lunch will be served at 12:45 and one bus will be available at 1:00. Please remind your students that they may not visit any other school when it is in session. We will be conducting a staff meeting starting at 1:00, so it will also be important that all students leave the Hall campus.

The Sights of Hall
One of the best things about being a principal is being able to wander around campus and visit all of the classrooms. I get a view of the school that very few people have. Last Tuesday is a perfect example of what goes on at Hall on a daily basis. In a sixth grade class that was studying the caste system in India, I saw students work to complete a task while assuming the roles of different castes. When I left that class I saw an eighth grade science class outside on the blacktop using rulers and different lenses to measure focal points. As I continued on I went into the gym where seventh graders were in the middle of a ping pong tournament on one side of the gym and eighth graders were rotating among a variety of gymnastics activities, including a balance beam and parallel bars. On my way out of that class I talked to a seventh grade teacher about scheduling the African drumming assembly for the next week and the date of the Chinatown field trip.

This was one class period on a random Tuesday morning. Every day our students are engaged in enriching, challenging and engaging activities. When I wander around campus I am always impressed with the work of both our students and our teachers. It is truly an excellent place to learn.
