CAMPUS NEWS
Community Meeting
Seniors Gabrielle and Shanti present at Community Meeting
The semester’s final week slipped by quickly, bringing the first term to a close. Classes wrapped up on Thursday, and Friday’s Reading Day provided quiet time to prepare for the start of exams on Saturday (although many students have been in preparation mode for a while). 
Classical Music Night
The School’s talented expressive arts students presented another memorable evening of performances during the recent Classical Music Night in Centennial Hall. In all, about a dozen students took to the stage to sing or perform as instrumentalists during the evening, which featured works by Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, and others.
Merritt Colaizzi
Miss Hall’s School is pleased to welcome Merritt Colaizzi as its new Director of Advancement. In her new role, Ms. Colaizzi will manage all aspects of the Miss Hall’s Development Office, with responsibilities for the School’s campaign, major gifts and planned giving programs, annual fund, and alumnae and parent engagement. 
PARENTS' FUND UPDATE
Pam Breslin
 A Gift to Honor Pamela Breslin
After thirty-three years of service at Miss Hall’s School, Language Department Chair Pamela Breslin retired from her many roles in June 2017. Perhaps you or your daughter recalls an effortless conversation with Señora Breslin—her warm smile and her jaunty walk were contagious as she crossed the Living Room into the hallway at MHS. Maybe Señora Breslin introduced your daughter to Spanish literature, or, to the Mexican art of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Perhaps your daughter took ESL classes with her. Señora Breslin made sure there were plenty of learning opportunities on how to succeed in her classes as well as in life.

We invite you now to make a contribution to the 2017-2018 Annual Fund for MHS in honor of Pamela Breslin. Your contribution celebrates Señora Breslin’s legacy as a gifted teacher and role model while empowering MHS to continue to sustain and support extraordinary faculty talent.
