Welcome

Portia and Bobby to our advising!

Breakfast before Break IMPORTANT INFO

Friday we will meet directly at Helser's on Alberta at 8:45.
Ideally parents can drop off at the restaurant at that time. It is a close drive from the school at 1538 NE Alberta St.

The 72 also runs directly from the school to there if your student is a Tri-Met taker. If they catch the 8:33am 72 bus on Killingsworth they will arrive by 8:50 to the restaurant.
This change is happening because we need to order our breakfast by 9 for the special.
Please let me know ahead of time if your MSer needs help getting to the restaurant. If they take the bus, please help them be aware of the connection. I will remind them several times before Friday.

We our buying breakfast from our Advising funds. Fancy drinks (mochas, cocoas, mimosas) will be covered by individual students (i.e. they buy their own).

p.s. just kidding about the mimosas.

Fridays--now, next, and thereafter

Dec 7th
This Friday we will be going to the first showing of The Golden Compass. We will have other activities that occur before the movie.

This is a film based on the excellent young adults series by Phillip Pullman. It is considered one a modern “classic”. The movie is rated PG-13 for “sequences of fantasy violence”. Please note, we must buy our tickets early, so if you check yes on the permission form, please ensure your student is on-time and present on Friday. We will have a discussion about the movie/book adaptation after the film.
The movie begins at 11:00, and ends 113 minutes later (plus previews, etc.). We will be back at school at aprox. 1:45-2:00.

Please return permission forms ASAP, even if you do not give permission. I can make quality alternative arrangements for students who cannot attend the movie to timing or other issues. Students without forms will be unable to attend EVEN IF THEY ARE 13.
December 14th
Next week we will go to Nadenoff Gymnastics. It is 20 minutes away in Vancouver Washington. We will need drivers for this trip. It was a big success last year with foam pits, trampolines, and many other exciting physical education explorations.

December 21st
We voted to have a "breakfast before break". Right now we are planning to eat at Helsing's on Alberta. I still need to call them to see if they can handle us. Cross your fingers!
