MESSAGE: September 22, 2003 |
Student Council Elections
While California is in the midst of its own election frenzy, Hall
Middle School Student Council elections began with a bang last Monday.
While the candidate list is shorter than the ballot for governor,
it is still an impressive list, with over twenty students running
for office. The campaigns kicked off on Monday with a flurry of
posters and stickers. Gray and Arnold could learn a thing or two
from the Hall students about running a campaign. Candidates have
been placing colorful posters around campus, all with an eye to
capturing the interest of students passing by. The care, thought,
and creativity that went into each one is impressive. Campaign stickers
have become the hot collectors’ item among students.
During the Election Assembly this Friday, candidates will be giving
their
speeches to the student body, and then students will be voting.
Student Council
teachers Nicole Muserilli and Art Nelson will be providing speech
workshops and
support for all candidates this week in preparation for the assembly.
Change to Skateboard and Rollerblade
Policy
Working with students, staff, and parents, I have spent the last
several weeks examining and discussing Hall’s policies regarding
skateboards and rollerblades. Historically, skateboards and rollerblades
have not been permitted. I drafted a policy revision that has been
approved by the staff and the PTA Executive Board. The new policy,
which is included in Backpack Mail, permits students to ride skateboards
or rollerblades to school provided they satisfy specific requirements.
See the parent permission form for more information. If you wish
to allow your child to skateboard or rollerblade to school, please
read and sign the permission form. Students will lose the privilege
of riding to school if they do not satisfy all of the requirements.
Bridge Club at Lunch
The Hall Bridge Club will begin meeting at lunch this Wednesday,
September 24, in Ms. Wolfe’s room (508). All students interested
are encouraged to participate and learn the intricacies of bridge.
Remarkable Achievements
Congratulations to students who made Principal’s List or Honor
Roll based on last quarter’s grades. Principal’s List
students earned a 4.0 GPA, and Honor Roll students earned between
a 3.5 and 3.99 GPA. These students are to be commended for their
impressive accomplishments.
