WELCOME BACK. 

To eNotes!  We'll be arriving in your mailbox almost every Monday and
Thursday throughout the school year, giving you behind-the-scenes info that
even your student may not know.  Feedback? Submissions? See the end of this
issue eNotes to learn how to reach us. 

IS COLLEGE IN YOUR STUDENT'S FUTURE? 

Those four years of high school zip by quickly, and before you know it, your
student will be off to college. Navigating the admissions process can be
intimidating, but help is at hand thanks to the incredible Alice Kleeman and
the Menlo-Atherton Career Center.   Hop over to
http://www.macareercenter.com to sign up for her email list. You will
receive occasional emails discussing colleges, scholarships, financial aid,
and other post-high school items of interest.   Parents should be sure to
join only the PARENT list; there are two students-only lists (one for
juniors and one for seniors) as well. 

IT'S FUN! IT'S FASHION! AND IT'S FOR OUR SCHOOL 

The annual Fashion Show, featuring senior students as models, is scheduled
for October 21.  The Fashion Show is the primary fundraiser for M-A's PTA,
with hundreds of volunteer opportunities available to fit your schedule and
interests.   Parents from all classes are encouraged to join in the fun and
help with a job.  We have filled all chair positions and now need committee
members. 

For more information, email coordinators Mary McCurdy at

***SPORTS*** 

FOOTBALL! 

The Menlo Atherton Varsity Bears put on a spectacular show on offense and on
defense in a seasoning opening scrimmage against Sacred Heart and Hillsdale
High Schools last Saturday at Sacred Heart High School. The offense rolled
and the defense HITTTTT. 

The combined frosh soph and frosh teams also rolled, scoring and stopping
Hillsdale and Sacred Heart. All teams are looking forward to a GREAT season.


The varsity opening game is against the San Francisco powerhouse Galileo
(think O J Simpson.uh, O.J. before that unpleasant business with Nicole and
Ron) on Saturday, September 9 here at M-A at 1:00 on our field. The frosh
soph play at 3 p.m.  Come on out and make some NOISE...
