Thanks 04.16.07

College Shout-Outs: Thank you to Ali and Nicole, and all senior advisors (Melissa, Ann, Marybelle, Awilda, Noah, and Nicole) for their hard work in helping our students begin to achieve their college dreams. So far 28 seniors have been accepted to college and we expect CUNY acceptances soon. Of those seniors, several have received full four year scholarships, including full HEOP or EOP scholarships to schools such as Cornell U., SUNY Stonybrook, Skidmore, Pratt Institute, and Ithaca College. The total scholarship money exceeds $1.5 million dollars! We are extremely proud of these students' accomplishments and look forward to supporting their college careers. Congratulations.

Yearbook: Thank you to Sonjah and her crew for her extremely hard work on the 2007 Yearbook. I know that it will look great and her hard work will pay off with a great book. Congratulations!

Hiring Open House: Thank you to Jen for the successful hiring open house on Friday. More than 20 prospective teachers in several subjects attended and were provided an excellent overview of the school by Nate, Murray, Kima, Des, and students Monique, Kayla, and Mayra. Thanks to all teachers who hosted visits by groups of teachers.

Parent Coordinator: Thank you to the personnel committee and parents for their hard work and dedication in hiring a Parent Coordinator. We are very excited to have Daniela start with us in May and look forward to her contributions to our community.

Harbor Basketball Team: Thank you to Ralph and Noah for working with our students to form a Harbor School basketball team to compete in a tournament of Urban Assembly teams to be held in the Bronx this weekend, April 20 and 21.
