The following excuse note is slightly better than one requesting a trip to the orthodontist. If you see Mollie, congratulate her and wish her luck.
Dear Michael Ulku-Steiner,
On behalf of the United States Soccer Federation I would like to request the release of Mollie Pathman to participate in a training camp and matches with the U.S. Under-15 Girl’s National Team in Carson, California from September 17th through September 23rd, 2007
These camps play a vital role in her continuing development as one of the most talented young female soccer players in the United States and are an important step toward identifying a pool of players who will compete for future places on our Women’s National Teams, and maybe one day, in the FIFA Women’s World Cup and/or Olympic Games.
Best regards,
Whitney Stipetich
National Teams Coordinator

Thanks to an alert suggestion from Edith Keene and a communitarian sacrifice by Michael Meyer, we have postponed the Winter Music Assembly and created a time for advisory groups to shop together for Share Your Christmas. Plan on an assembly period + lunch on Thursday, November 29. This and all other assembly dates are available on at the right of this blog and on the US web page (under Extracurriculars).

At Friday's memorial service, Bobbie Hardaker was able to relay the US faculty's strong support for the HALL BARNES SPIRIT AWARD (formerly the Spirit Award), given to that member of the junior or senior classes who best demonstrates the qualities of Hall Barnes, '79 - kindness, respect, inclusivity, open-mindedness, and an ability to transcend cliques and groups to bring laughter to classmates.
