PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE: May 17, 2004

Track and Field Competition
Last week Hall students participated in track and field events at College of Marin with representatives from other Marin County middle schools. Our students gave their all and represented Hall Middle School admirably both on and off the track. Eighteen Hall students qualified for the finals based on their performance. Congratulations to all students who participated this year.
—Daniel Norbutas, Principal

FROM HALL PTA: May 17, 2004

PTA for 2004-05
Congratulations to the new Officers of Hall PTA for 2004-05, who were elected last Thursday at the General PTA meeting following Open House!
President: Rebecca Sarokin
8th Grade VPs: Ann Arabian & Claudia Gropper
7th Grade VPs: Ann Morrison & Scottie Spurzem
6th Grade VPs: Anne Gilberg & Paula Turner
Treasurer: Barbara Kelly
Secretary: Robin Moller
Parliamentarian: Jeannie Perry
Historian/Bulletin Editor: Marianne Rafter
Auditor: Diana Putterman

Thank you to Jeannie Perry, this year’s Parliamentarian, and her nominating committee, for their excellent work in persuading these parents to run for office. Next year should be a banner year for Hall PTA!

Jeannie also has filled most of the Hall PTA committee positions for next year. We are still looking for volunteers to chair 8th Grade Graduation and Parent Education. The Parent Ed. chair will work closely with Mr. Norbutas and our counselor, Cookie Morin, to set up appropriate parent education nights. We also need a nice twosome to post the weekly announcements on the signboard. This two-person job is fun, has high “visibility,” and entails spending time in the Hall Office, where you learn what is really going on at the school! The signboard job would be perfect for a pair of friends who live near the school or whose schedules allow them to be at the school for 25 minutes once or twice a week. Contact Jeannie Perry or Rebecca Sarokin for details.

Corte Madera Larkspur Schools Foundation Auction
The CMLSF Auction last Saturday was memorable, a wonderful international gala! The Auction crew did an excellent job transforming the Mt. Tam Racquet Club into a "worldly" locale, the food was tasty, and the entertainment was a blast! Thanks again to the Auction Chairs, Holly Bogin, Jeanette Thorson and Rachel Janin, and all their volunteers, who helped raise so much money for our schools.

Last PTA meetings of the Year
8th Grade parents are invited to the Redwood High School PTSA meeting this Thurs., May 20, at 8:30am, in the Kreps Center. Come get a preview of what Redwood has to offer! Also, find out about the all-important Tam High School District parcel tax on the ballot next Nov.

Finally, the last meeting of the Hall PTA Exec. Board is this Tuesday, May 18. We will review our accomplishments this year, wrap up some end-of-the-year budget issues, hear a short presentation from Becky Reed on the Tam High parcel tax, and hear a report from the principal on Hall news. Following the meeting (2:30pm or so), we will preview the video on bullying in middle school that was purchased by Hall PTA. Thanks for a wonderful year!
—Barbara Solomon, PTA President
