"END OF YEAR TEACHER GIFTS"
|  
Your NHS Teachers and Staff have worked hard all year to teach your kids and help them succeed. Many of them have put in countless hours outside of the classrooms, writing college and scholarship recommendation letters and helping with tutoring. It's time to give them a much deserved thank you gift! Your PTSA Hospitality Team is putting together a special gift for each one of them and we'd love to have you contribute to this group gift. Please feel free to contribute whatever amount is comfortable for you and your family (keeping in mind that your child likely has 5-7 teachers) and bring that gift to Cathy Benson in the office. Checks can be made out to Kristin Van Weele, and can also be mailed to her home at 1415 Monte Maria Ave., Novato, CA 94947. Thanks for your support!

Hello NHS Families:
We wanted to let you all know about an exciting fundraiser we're beginning that is generating money for MSA. We have joined forces with the Mountain Play, Zephyr Real Estate, and Sloat Garden Center in a fundraiser called "Play For Art's Sake" which helps redirect funds from Mountain Play's ticket sales towards our MSA classrooms and productions.
If you or anyone you know is planning on attending the Mountain Play's production of West Side Story this May/June, you can support MSA when you purchase your tickets by simply entering this code at checkout:
MSA16
For every ticket bought using the MSA16 code, MSA will receive a $10 donation from the Mountain Play, so make sure to use it and share with your friends!
To purchase tickets, or to find more information on the Mountain Play, visit their website at www.mountainplay.org, or call (415) 383-1100.
Thank you for helping to raise money for MSA!
Every little bit helps! And please thank the sponsors of this program, Zephyr and Sloat for their generous contributions.
Sincerely,
Julian O'Byrne, Abby Green & Chloe Winnett
Mountain Play Junior Board of Directors Members and NHS/MSA Students

Instrument Drive for Novato Unified Students!
Our goal is to collect 100 instruments by June, 2016.
Bring us your trumpet, trombone, flute, or clarinet and receive a tax deductible donation form! The Novato Unified School District, in partnership with School Fuel, NUSD's education foundation, is conducting a musical instrument drive to help support the elementary music program by providing instruments for students who need them.
There may be many instruments in our community that are no longer being played that would greatly benefit our students. Music education begins in the first grade with vocal music, learning rhythm instruments and reading music and continues through the third grade. In the fourth grade, all students learn the ukulele giving them the opportunity to learn to play an instrument, read music and sing all at the same time. In the fifth grade, instrumental music is introduced and the need for instruments.
Donations will be accepted at the Instrument Drive Booth at the Tour of Novato in Downtown Novato on May 14 between 10:00
am and 2:00 pm at the corner of Sherman and Grant Streets.
If you are unable to drop off your instrument at the Tour of Novato, you may also drop them off at your local elementary school. Our goal is to collect 100 instruments by June, 2016. If you have questions, please contact
¡Colecta de instrumentos para los alumnos del distrito de Novato!
¡Tráiganos una trompeta, trombón, flauta o clarinete y reciba un formulario de donación deducible de impuestos! El Distrito Escolar Unificado de Novato, junto con School Fuel, la fundación educativa del distrito NUSD, está llevando a cabo una colecta de instrumentos musicales para ayudar a apoyar el programa de música de las escuelas elementary, dándoles instrumentos a los alumnos que los necesiten.
Puede que haya muchos instrumentos entre la gente de nuestra comunidad que ya no toquen, y que podrían ser de gran utilidad para nuestros alumnos. La educación musical empieza desde el primer grado, con música vocal, aprendizaje de instrumentos rítmicos y lectura musical, y continúa hasta el tercer grado. Para el cuarto grado, todos los alumnos aprenden sobre el ukulele, lo cual les da la oportunidad de poder tocar un instrumento, leer música y cantar al mismo tiempo. En quinto grado, se les introduce en la música instrumental, y de ahí la necesidad de los instrumentos que solicitamos.
Las donaciones se aceptarán en el evento Tour of Novato, en el puesto llamado "Instrument Drive Booth", que será el 14 de mayo en el centro de la ciudad, entre 10:00 de la mañana y 2:00 de la tarde, en la esquina de las calles Sherman y Grant.
Si no puede ir a dejar el instrumento al Tour of Novato, también pueden dejarlo en la escuela elementaria más cercana a su casa. Nuestra meta es recolectar 100 instrumentos para junio de 2016. Si tiene alguna pregunta, haga favor de contactar a
