Middle School Communique #3
NAL10/4, HCCT#2, HFFTL, ADDN, FSPDN!
No, it's not a new sports network... nor a stock ticker....but what does this mean?
Naturalists At Large Meeting - 10/4, 7pm
Come Wednesday evening and get all of your questions answered about the May Yosemite trip. A representative from NAL will be there to give you specifics, qualm any concerns, and explain exactly what your child will be doing, learning, etc. Please bring your checkbooks if you have not yet paid your first semester payment.
Hillcrest Cross Country Team - Second in Most Recent Meet!
The Hillcrest Cross Country team came in second in last week's meet! This is outstanding, especially when you consider this is our first year even fielding a team. Team members are: Julia Eylar, Kendall Williams, Hanna Weisenberger, Sarah Allison, Nikki Stansbury, & Maggie Phillips. Congratulations, ladies! Come cheer them on at their next meet this Thursday at Prospect Sierra, 4:15 race time.
Hillcrest Flag Football Team Loses... to one of the best teams in the league, Windrush. Our mighty eleven kids gave their all in a 20-14 loss to the well-manned (25 players?) El Cerrito team. Come cheer us on this Thursday, 4:00 at Marcus Foster field, against Pacific Academy. Marcus Foster field is on 29th, between MLK & West. We would still love to have more players -- practices are 3:45 - 5:00 Wednesdays and Fridays at the same field. See you there!
Auction Donations Due Now!
Please submit your personal (and your child's) donations now! The auction committee is working feverishly to get everything written up and put into the auction catalog. Remember, if your child's class wins, your child gets one free book report pass for his or her donation. Also, please provide a $10 donation towards the class auction project - checks made out to "Hillcrest PTA" and put into the envelope in the classrooms. This year we are putting together two baskets -- a baseball-themed basket, and a movie-themed basket. If you have a physical item that would be suitable for one of the baskets, please contact Jan Leuin.
First Semester Payment Due Now!
If you haven't already done so, please make your first semester payment now. The form is attached, checks should be made out to "Hillcrest PTA", and you can add your auction donation to the form if you prefer. Envelopes are in each classroom. I will send home "personalized" forms home with your child at the end of this week if we haven't heard from you, so please spare me the effort, and save a tree.
Note to 8th grade parents: I have provided your addresses to Sam Owens, whose son Austin was at Hillcrest last year. She is sending invitations to the Bentley High School Open House, and wanted to make sure all interested Hillcrest parents knew about the Bentley High School admissions catalog. Please let me know if you do not want any additional information about other high schools in the future.
