Gator Gazette October 28, 2018 In This Issue Greetings! From the Principal's Desk This week Baltimore County Public Schools' Interim News from the PHHS PTSA Superintendent Verletta White's Learning and Listening Tour concludes with a visit to Perry Hall High School on News from PHHS Tuesday from 6 to 7 p.m. News from BCPS and PHHS Community It offers an opportunity for parents, students and PHHS PTSA Business Partners community members to provide her with direct feedback on a host of matters that are important to them. Last year, I This Week at PHHS got to know Ms. White a little bit. I served on the Next Week at PHHS Superintendent's Parent Advisory Council, a group that met quarterly to provide feedback to her and other members of BCPS leadership on a host of topics. I was one of only a Quick Links few people representing the interests and perspective of PHHS PTSA secondary school parents. We discussed everything from Perry Hall HS overcrowding, to technology, to school safety and more. I PHHS Alumni Association felt heard. Active in PTAs at all of my children's schools, PHHS Athletic Boosters having met with politicians and Board of Ed members, and Baltimore County Public Ms. White's predecessor, I can tell you these sessions Schools were among the best I've participated in over the years. I've seen suggestions and feedback offered at the Advisory Council meetings result in action. It isn't easy for parents to communicate their issues to school system leadership, especially if they aren't actively involved in an organization with regular access or an allotted time slot at a monthly Board of Ed meeting. Parents in our area have concerns about population growth, school overcrowding, funding choices, testing, curriculum changes, bus matters, safety, and other things. I urge you to take this opportunity and come to the school Tuesday night to meet Ms. White, share your thoughts and ask your questions. I think you will leave with a better understanding of BCPS's thinking on things, but perhaps more importantly, help the interim superintendent and her team to better understand the issues of importance in our part of the county from the perspective of those people most affected by them. On another topic, PTSA membership cards will be sent home this week. Envelopes containing the cards will be distributed in homerooms to the youngest Perry Hall High student of a joining family. The PTSA membership drive is ongoing. If you would still like to join, you can download an application form from our website or purchase your membership online by credit card or Pay Pal. Seniors planning to apply for a PTSA scholarship are reminded that they must join by January 25 in order to be eligible. Dues for the year are $10. If you have questions about PTSA membership, please feel free to e-mail our chairperson, Heather Grueninger. Thank you to everyone who has already joined out PTSA! Have a good week! Chris Christine Hagan President, PHHS PTSA 2018-2019 School Year [email protected] From the Principal's Desk Dear Parents, The principal's Chess Challenge took place on October 18. I played against nine players during lunch at the same time. Kudos to Ady Yang for his win, and Matt Nikzad for his tie. The SADD organization ran the bi-annual blood drive with the Red Cross Association on Thursday. Kudos to Ms. Robinson and the SADD students for their work. The Army Team Challenge was held on Thursday in the gymnasium. Many students came down with their class to work as a team to solve physical and mental problems. Thanks to the PE Department for their support. I attended the Girls' Varsity Soccer Team County final on Tuesday evening at CCBC Catonsville against Sparrow's Point HS. Unfortunately, we lost 1-0 in overtime. The team still goes onto Regionals and we wish them the best. The Boys' Varsity team lost in the playoffs to Catonsville on Friday, so their season has ended. However, the team is young, and we show great promise for next year. Kudos to the Perry Hall High School golf team who played in the state MPSSAA championship this week at College Park. Kyle Bull, Colin Kurkoba, Frank Sallese, Dylan Weiss and Tyler Arnold traveled to the tournament, which was held Monday. The team placed 11th out of 17 teams. Councilman David Marks will present the Perry Hall athletes with a proclamation on November 2 at Basta Pasta for their achievement. On Friday, we saw the last home football game against Parkville. The seniors were honored, and the team won a hard game in the cold rain. The groundbreaking ceremony for the turf field was conducted before the game. Many dignitaries were present from Baltimore County Government, Local Politicians, Rec Council, BCPS, and the Sports Boosters. Kudos to the Sports Boosters for their fundraising efforts. The work should start in November. See picture below.
