Dear Hall-Dale Community: I am looking for a host family in the Hall-Dale district for Beka, an exchange student who is attending Hall-Dale this year. He is currently living with a temporary “welcome” family in Richmond. Could anyone open their home to Beka as his host family? Or do you have friends or neighbors who could? Hosting is a wonderful opportunity to share American culture and values with a teenager from another country, while also having an opportunity to learn about another culture and another part of the world. Host families do not have to have high-school aged kids (or any kids). Beka is 17 years old, and comes from the country Georgia. He loves sports and is currently playing soccer at Hall-Dale. He wants to play basketball this winter, and he also enjoys swimming and training at the gym. In his free time, Beka enjoys listening to music (Led Zepplin and Bon Jovi are some of his favorite bands) and he enjoys watching shows like Game of Thrones and Prison Break. Beka is looking forward to celebrating American holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving with his host family, and would also like to teach you about his country and culture. He likes younger kids, and he has no allergies. Volunteer host families provide their student with a bed, three meals a day, local transportation, and a warm welcome as part of the family. Exchange students can share a bedroom with a same sex host sibling within 4 years of their age. Exchange students have their own spending money and have illness and accident insurance provided by their sponsoring organization (in this case, Greenheart Exchange). To learn more, please contact: Liana Knight, greenheart.liana@gmail.com or 207-737-9781. Many thanks!

The Hallowell Fire Department is organizing a Fire Department fundraiser in the form of a massive bonfire of Christmas trees, on January 5 at 5:15 down at Granite City Park by the waterfront. The idea is that people get rid of their trees by paying the Fire Dept. $10 to throw their tree on the growing pile. Tree drop off is that day from 3-5:00. And then they set off a massive (hopefully) fire. They have arranged for the Taiko drummers to add to the excitement.

With the icy road conditions the entire RSU has a 2 hour delay

Halldale Schools are in session, on time this morning. It is only Monmouth that has a delay. Please drive carefully and enjoy your Friday!

Odyssey of the Mind at HDMS Odyssey of the Mind is a creative, problem solving program. Student teams work on a long-term problem for months which involves science, engineering, drama, art, music and performance. They also practice spontaneous problems, short hands-on and verbal problems that require teamwork and creativity. This program is focused on student leadership, working as a team and creativity. It is also a lot of fun. Coaches guide students, but students are in charge of everything from building vehicles, to making costumes, to setting schedules. More information is here: http://www.meodyssey.org/ The organizational meeting will take place next Tuesday, (October 23) after school, in the library.

Are you a creator, a problem solver, and someone who loves a challenge? Are Legos and robotics among your favorite things? If so, the First Lego League Robotics team is right up your alley!
