COMMUNITY SERVICE HOUR RECORDING / AWARDS CEREMONY
Wednesday, March 25th there will be an awards ceremony at San Marin High school (see Principal Dr. Vieth's March letter about Student Achievement Recognition).
One of the awards that will be given will be for community service.
The community service award will be selected based on the information provided through the students PrepHQ account. Students need to record their community service hours on their PrepHQ account by going to the third tab down on the left "My Organizer" then to the "Service" tab. They can access the San Marin PrepHQ page through the San Marin website at www.sanmarinmustang.org and press on the 'PrepHQ' tab (the Fifth tab) on the Top Menu Bar of the Website. The PrepHQ tab can also be found through the College and Career Center tab on the Left Menu Bar and look under Resources and click on College PrepHQ. Students hours will be verified by requiring the student to bring in written proof from the organizations they have volunteered for.
Deadline for entering hours for Community Service Award consideration is Friday, March 20, 2009.
Many students still have their paper copies of their hours in the College and Career Center and have been asked to pick them up. The College and Career Center will not be tracking the students records. It is up to the student to input them on the PrepHQ website and keep paper copies of the records in their personal files for verification purposes.
Hours should also be recorded under the resume/activities tab, then volunteering. This tool will configure a resume for the students and can be formatted fit any requirement needed for resume, i.e. scholarship, letters of recommendation, jobs, internships etc.

 MARIN SUMMER THEATER OPEN FOR AUDITIONS
Sweeney Todd is coming to Novato this summer! Marin Summer Theater (MST), an evening program for students of performing arts, will present Stephen Sondheim's masterpiece as part of its three-show season in July and August, along with The Beaux' Stratagem, a Restoration comedy, and Bernstein on Broadway, a music and dance review. The program will run June 15-Aug. 2.
 MST is open to students throughout the North Bay: those entering eighth grade, high school students, and college undergraduates under age 23. Students from all over Marin and Sonoma counties are encouraged to participate. Auditions for actors, musicians, and dancers will be held by appointment Mar. 21 at San Marin High School in Novato, pre-registration is required. (Those who are unable to attend auditions in person may submit a DVD recording.) Technicians and designers also may submit applications; they will be interviewed by phone. Acceptance is subject to audition and payment of tuition. Fee for the entire season is $275 for participation in one, two, or three shows.
 According to artistic director Patrick Nims, several factors make MST unique. "First and foremost, MST is a challenging program for young performers and theater technicians interested in developing their talents through the production of great theater. Working on as many as three different productions in a seven-week period is intense. Second, the inclusion of kids from different schools and educational levels raises the quality of performance and expands participants' horizons. Third, since we are sponsored by non-profit San Marin High School Music Boosters we can focus on serving our students at the lowest possible cost, keeping tuition low because of our volunteer network and the assistance we receive from San Marin High School and the Novato Unified School District."
 To help interested applicants prepare for auditions MST is offering a free workshop on Saturday, Mar. 14 (1-3 pm) at San Marin High School. Students will learn more about the scheduled shows and the audition process, with attention to each person's performance material. Nims says, "There is no requirement that prospective participants attend the workshop, but it's a good opportunity to meet the staff and prepare a great audition."
Details about the program, audition scheduling, and application forms can be found on the MST web site at www.marinsummertheater.org Back To Top |

NEWS FROM THE  COLLEGE and CAREER CENTER
I have just finished visiting with all the Sophomore classes and doing a career exploration project. We researched careers on our "Bridges" program (access through PrepHQ) and the student were to pick three careers that interested them. They had to research these careers, telling the class about the education needed, earning power and something interesting about that career. The students presented in front of the class and the class voted on which career they thought the student wanted. Presenter were awarded for how well they bluffed the class and prizes were awarded to the winners. This project was through the English classes and the students then were given and extended assignment by their teachers. Be sure to ask them about what careers they explored.
I have now also completed orientation with all the Freshman's Health classes. The students met with me in the Library and I spoke to them about the services offered to them through the College and Career Center. I encouraged the students to take advantage of all opportunities presented to them during their high school experience to better prepare them for their next step. We also covered the different college systems and they all registered on PrepHQ. Be sure to have them show you the website and familiarize yourself with this fabulous resource.
On Tuesday, May 19th San Marin will be having a school wide Career Day. As the coordinator I am looking for parents who would be willing to come and speak about their careers or volunteer for the event. Please email me if you are interested in participating. Last year we had a "Green Career Day" and it was a big success. We are broadening our spectrum of careers and will be gathering information from the students regarding which types of careers they are interested in. My email is fcunnie@nusd.org. Thank you in advance for your help and support of this fun and enriching opportunity for our students.

Canal Alliance Volunteer Opportunities
*Supply Healthy Snacks to our Students
Your group is invited to prepare healthy snacks (such as sandwiches, fruit, or cheese and crackers, and a healthy drink) for approximately 75 teens enrolled in our Youth Educational Development Program (YEDP). This project is offered from on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 2-4:30.
First, we invite you to come to Canal Alliance for a tour of our organization. Then, we thought it fun for YEDP staff to accompany you to a local market to obtain the items. We would greatly appreciate it if you could purchase
these items on our behalf. Generally a $75 donation would cover the cost of the snacks. We are happy to complete a donation receipt for your generosity. Afterwards we will return to Canal Alliance, prepare the snacks, and then distribute them to the students. Not only will you be providing a nutritious snack, you will be helping to reinforce our goal of fostering a wholesome and healthy environment for our teens. This is a wonderful opportunity for groups including student organizations and clubs, families and employee
teams. This project is perfect for 5-7 people.
*Food Bank Distribution
Every Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 10:00-12:30, we open our on site food bank to our community. After we return from the Marin Community Food Bank, you will help upload the van, sort the items -usually consisting of breads, grains, fruits, juices, vegetables, milk, and canned goods, stock our shelves, assemble different packages of food, and then help us distribute the food to the community members that come to our doors for such assistance. There is usually a flurry of activity in our waiting area during this time. We usually have very little left over. This would be a fun experience for your group, and an excellent way to witness how our organization has a direct impact on our community by providing a basic need. This project is recommended for 3-5 people.
*Youth Educational Development Program Aide: Spring 2009
This opportunity is offered M-TH afternoons here at Canal Alliance. We have 3 Middle School classes and 2 classes for High School. We also have college students who might need one on one help arranged on a case by case basis.
All of these would be great opportunities for college students who are currently studying education, or currently retired professionals from the educational field. We do also invite high school students, preferably ages 16 and over, to work with our middle school program. Volunteers should work well under limited supervision with both students and staff. Volunteers not only help our students with homework, but also with Canal Alliance sponsored projects. Additional responsibilities include preparing snacks and refreshments, supervising groups during outdoor and indoor activities, helping with clean-up. Volunteers should be available at least one full shift per week beginning January 12 through May 29, 2009. While being familiar with Spanish is helpful, it is not required. Volunteers ages 18+ will be required to undergo a background check which includes fingerprinting. Volunteers that are willing to transport students for field trips are required to provide a copy of his or her DL and insurance. Driving is not a required responsibility. Patience and flexibility are musts.

 BIKE to RAISE FUND for SAN MARIN HIGH
DADs - Time to Help!!! Join Pat Nims (the ONE :-( biker now - Thanks, Pat!!!)
Saturday, May 16, 2009 - Raise Funds for San Marin High
The Pan-Napa Challenge is a one-day bicycling event held annually to raise money for Novato schools.
The second annual Pan-Napa Challenge will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2009, in beautiful Napa valley.
Last year eighteen dads got together for a fun day of riding in Napa Valley and raised $28,000 for Hamilton Elementary School. This year we're expanding the challenge to include riders from all 16 Novato schools. Now it's your turn to raise money for your local Novato school. The ride is open to parents, teachers, students, and anyone else who wants to help out.
How The Challenge Works
Riders sign up to ride one of several routes. We'll have beautiful and fun routes of 10, 25, and 50 miles (or more!). The pace is as leisurely or aggressive as you make it. Last year half the riders rode 25 miles, and the other half rode 50.
Donations are collected through the sponsorship of riders. Visit the website to sponsor a rider from your school. Riders allocate their donations to the schools of their choice. All donations are tax deductible. Net proceeds from the event go to the Novato schools as allocated by the riders - YOU have a choice on which school to sponsor!
Volunteers: On the day of the event we all get together for a big party in Napa. While your riders are out cranking those pedals there will be food, games, socializing, and plenty of fun for the kids.

 "A CENTURY OF GENTLE SEASONS, A HISTORY OF NOVATO" DVD SALES TO BENEFIT SCHOOL FUEL
Zan Media has recently released a one-hour DVD about Novato called "A Century of Gentle Seasons, A History of Novato." Owners Don and Chris Scioli (local San Marin residents) produced this one hour video as a "small tribute to a great city."
The business is named after the first initials of their three children, Zack, Alex and Niki -- who all attended Novato's public schools from kindergarten through high school. It's a fun, fast paced and entertaining peek into what makes Novato so unique, community centric and slightly eccentric. There's a lively section on our schools in the past and present, hosted by longtime resident and Novato educator Louise Koenig, and even a section that recalls the antics of Principal Lu Sutton, who always wore black dresses and could beat all the young boys at marbles! You might even see yourself walking the streets during one of the annual Novato events showcased in this video.
The DVD costs $20.00 of which $5.00 will be donated to School Fuel. Visit http://www.novatohistory.com OR call 897-8393 to learn more about the video or to order a copy. |
