 HOMECOMING WEEKEND October 10th & 11th
From Mr. Casper
When: October 11, 2008
Parade: Begins @ 12:00 pm at the intersection of San Carlos Way/San Marin Drive
Game: Varsity Football kick-off @ 1:00 vs. San Rafael High School
Dance: Begins @ 8:00 pm in the San Marin High School gymnasium. Dance ends @ 11:00 pm
Homecoming weekend is always a festive and special time for the entire San Marin Community. Parents please know exactly what your teenage son or daughter is doing and where they are going before and after the dance. Make sure your child's cell phone is turned on at all times so you can keep open the lines of communication with them. A popular post homecoming dance destination for San Marin students is San Francisco. We do worry about your kids when they leave the dance, especially when they board busses or limousines. We want to assure that all of our students have a memorable, fun, and safe homecoming weekend.
HOMECOMING WEEK - From Leadership Class
Game on! San Marin's annual Homecoming festivities are coming upon us.
This year's themes are centered on classic board games: the seniors are Candy Land, the juniors are Monopoly, the sophomores are Life, and the freshmen are Clue.
Homecoming week kicks off Monday October 6th with our first spirit day, Pajama Day, Tuesday is Superhero Day where students dress up as their favorite superhero, then on to Wacky Wednesday where students wear mismatched clothes, then Thursday celebrates the 80's and Friday is Green and Gold Day. San Marin Leadership class will be hosting a rally on Friday where the Homecoming King and Queen candidates strut their stuff. Then the seniors will be hosting a lunch time barbeque for all staff and students.
Our newest and biggest addition to the activities will be a barbeque for friends, families, students, alumni and community members on Friday, October 10th at 6 p.m. on the field. The cost will be $5 per person in advance and $7 at the event. Tickets will be available at the front office and at the football games beginning September 27th. Dinner and the pep rally are included in the price.
If you would like to assist the leadership students in preparing for this big weekend please contact Mrs. Ryan Fedoroff by email at rfedoroff@nusd.org or by phone at 415-897-2154 x 760. Volunteers are most helpful and needed for the day of the events |
 AERIES GRADING SYSTEM UPDATEThe Aeries Pilot for San Marin has been postponed to November 1. The district will send notice and instructions on how to access Aeries in the mail in late October. San Marin will conduct an evening demonstration for parents in late October. The date of the demonstration will be announced next week (week of October 6th). We will keep you informed of any changes. |
"LITTLE MARY SUNSHINE" THE MUSICAL
The show will run October 17, 18, 24, and 25 at 8PM with 2PM matinees on October 19 and 26. Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the door.
The musical opened off-Broadway in 1959 and ran for over 1100 performances to unanimous rave reviews from the critics. In this saga of Colorado, Little Mary Sunshine is an innkeeper and the story revolves around guests of the inn, forest rangers, and Indians.
Over 50 students are involved in cast, crew and orchestra. They are supported by orchestra director Sanamtha Maas-Baldwin, technical director Pat Nims, choreographer Kate Kenyon and director Emily Gates, as well as many parents and community members who have been building, sewing and gathering props.
Tickets will go on sale September 30 in San Marin's front office.
