Novato High School Families and Staff,
I am writing you this letter with the highest level of mixed emotions. An opportunity was presented to me to join the Terra Linda High School staff as the new Assistant Principal overseeing curriculum and instruction. After much deliberation and reflection, including conversations with my wife Betsy and daughters Cayley and Alyssa, I have concluded that it is an opportunity that I cannot pass up. My last day at Novato High will be Friday December 18th. I would like to thank the Novato High School community for 5 ½ great years as the Assistant Principal. From the moment I walked through the doors in October of 2010, I have always felt at home. Thank you to Novato High and NUSD for the opportunities to grow both as an educator and as an administrator. To my colleagues, thank you for the journey that was and is truly ours. Rarely will anyone truly be able to see how much goes on behind the scenes, but I have and have always been in awe of you. To the students and families, thank you for your trust and support. To all, thank you for allowing me to be your Assistant Principal.
Rob Celli

"Happy Holidays!
|
It's time to remember our hardworking teachers and staff with a holiday gift.
Your PTSA Hospitality Committee is putting together a holiday breakfast buffet and we'd like to give each teacher a small gift to express our gratitude. Would you please consider making a monetary donation to this effort? Any amount is appreciated! Please make your check payable to Kristin Van Weele and mail to her home at 1415 Monte Maria Avenue, Novato, CA 94947 or drop it off in the NHS office with Cathy Benson. Also, if you'd like to help bring food for the breakfast, the sign up sheet is here: http://vols.pt/xguMB9
Thanks so much for your help!

A SUCCESSFUL GARDEN WORKDAY!
Many thanks to students:
Aisha, Carlos, Jackie, Alexis, Isaac, Johnny and Kim and parents David, Sandy, Kris, Maija, Clark and Monica for their hard work this past Sunday.
Also, thanks to parents Kimberly and Erik for snacks and yard garbage bags.
Check out the planted areas around the offices! We trimmed and weeded the area and put down weed cloth. Then we moved and put down a HUGE pile of redwood shred that had been dumped in Principal Baldwin's parking spot. We went overtime into the dark so that he could park there on Monday morning!
We'd also like to give a big shout out to Marin Colored Gravel for donating 3 of the 7 cubic yards of redwood shred and delivering it for free.
