BYE BIRDIE IS COMING with FOUR PERFORMANCES!
Nov. 20 & 21 –
7:30pm • Nov. 22 – 1:00
& 7:30pm |
|  Early
in the career of Elvis Presley, he was drafted into the Army.
“Bye Bye Birdie” is the satiric Broadway musical
smash about an Elvis-inspired rock star, Conrad Birdie, who
is drafted into the Army and who creates a near-riot in a
small town when he stops for one last publicity junket in
1957. This play has a similar feel to last years’ “Grease”
– think girls in poodle skirts and guys with greased-back
hair. Performances are Thursday Nov 21 7:30pm, Friday Nov
21 7:30pm, and Saturday Nov 22, 1:00pm & 7:30pm.

MESSAGE: November 10, 2003 |
QSP Fundraiser Reaches Goal
The annual QSP magazine fundraiser came and went in a flurry of
magazines, flashing lights and flying monkeys. Pretty soon we will
all start receiving the multitude of subscriptions we ordered. I
personally can’t wait for my copy of Middle School Principal
Confidential…
Congratulations to our students for reaching our fundraising goal,
selling an amazing $33,000 worth of magazine subscriptions. Sam
led the student body with an impressive fifty-two magazine order.
You can now find him careening down Mt. Tam on his new mountain
board.
As the homerooms with the most orders for their grade, Ms.
Fagan’s sixth-grade, Ms. Wolfe’s
seventh-grade, and Ms. Shaner’s eighth-grade
homerooms will be enjoying a South of the Border lunch in the coming
weeks. An incredible sixty-two students turned in at least ten orders
on the first day or twenty orders on the second day, and have earned
a trip to a Laser Tag event in San Francisco.
Hall Halloween
It was quite a sight to see — one hundred and thirty sixth
graders all carving pumpkins simultaneously. The kids had a great
time, and all walked away with a freshly carved Halloween pumpkin.
The event was a huge success, thanks to the hard work of Diana
Putterman, Ann Morrison, and all of the
sixth-grade parents who helped with the event. And thanks to Paradise
Foods for providing the pumpkins.
—Daniel Norbutas, Principal
| MAKE
CHANGE WORK: Pennies 4 Peace
through Dec. 31 |
| This week Hall Middle School
has joined a Marin County “Children to Children”
initiative supported by Mary Jane Burke, the Marin County
Superintendent of Schools. This program is helping to heal
the wounds of war by converting former minefields into schools
and playgrounds in Afghanistan and other war-torn countries.
Many of our public and private schools are already participating
by encouraging students to bring spare change to their homeroom
where the money will be collected until Dec. 21, 2003.
Every penny counts! All the money collected will go directly
to funding the construction of a new school and clearing landmines
from the surrounding area. “Pennies for Peace”
is a program of Roots of Peace, a humanitarian non-profit
organization dedicated to the eradication of landmines by
returning de-mined land to productive use in war- torn countries.
Kyleigh, a 16-year-old Marin County high school student,
is the co-founder of “Pennies for Peace.” Our
school representative is Shelby who …
will be available to answer any questions, provide information
or posters, and deliver full penny canisters to the office
where they will be picked up by a Loomis truck and then delivered
to the Bank of Marin.
