The Hauser PTA wishes to recognize all Hauser students who participated in this year’s PTA Reflections contest: T. J. Armic, Chris Buh, Emily Cain, Caitlin Clark, Ryan Considine, Taylor Dalton, Vito DeRanger, Jake Dluhy, Molly Ely, Bianca Favela, Patrick Flannery, Wolfie Foulkes, Yannis Garcia, Shawn Hwang, Robin Jensen, Amanda Kostro, Rachel Kunkel, Thomas Linehan, Elliot Louthen, Gabriela Magallon, Tawni Majetic, Haley McCarthy, Ben Mitchell, Sara Nie, Jessica Padilla, Chansoo Pak, Louisa Parzyk, Mollie Quealy, Brian Robertson, Fitz Robling, Nick Rohm, Rachel Sammons, Claire Schraidt, Katherine Scheffer, Tessa Sundstrom, Linas Vaitkur, Cody Vitek, Kate Walsh, Eleanore Waszak, Megan Welch, and Bradley Wilson.

Our PTA was invited to submit 10 entries in each of the 4 categories: visual arts, photography, music, and literature. Because the visual arts and photography categories had more than 10 entries each, local artist Nancy Hejna was kind enough to serve as a judge. The criteria she used when deciding which entries would advance were adherence to theme and overall quality of work. In all, thirty three students advanced to the district level competition.

Leslie Berman has asked us to let parents know that the new issue of Hauser Hi-Lines was sent home in backpacks today (Friday, December 1). Please be sure to ask your child for it.

Also, as mentioned in an earlier e-mail, a flyer went home in backpacks today announcing the Hauser PTA’s new Hauser Bucks gift certificate fundraiser. Please be sure to check your child’s backpack for this flyer as well or read about it online here.

Thanks.

Order forms were sent home today (12/1/06) with your child in their 9th period class. Please look for these in the backpack! The following will explain this new fundraising initiative that we are launching to help raise money for the landscaping of Hauser Junior High. Order forms are due 12/7 in the school office.

Thank you for your support!

You can download another copy of the flier here in Adobe PDF or Microsoft Word format, and you can download the order form as an Excel Spreadsheet.

No word yet from the District or room parents on whether or not school will be closed today. You can check with the Emergency Closing Center to see if our school or district has been listed.
