PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
Acting principal, Mr. Jim Dormond was happy to report that Dr. Baker was feeling well and would be returning January 20th. He also was happy to report that at the first Hi Q competition Radnor did very well. Also this month, we had the "Radnor Returning Graduates", this is a panel of college freshman that answered questions from this year's seniors. This program helps with the transition to college life. The panel was very well received. Mr. Dormond stated that this year's Winterfest, February 12th, would be a little different from previous years. This year, the 8th graders and their parents will meet in the auditorium for a program that includes; an overview of the academic departments, counselors, athletics, clubs and others activities at the high school. This program would have refreshments provided by the RHS PTSA.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Mercedes reported that all the winter concerts went very well. A PTSA fundraising idea was discussed, a school spirit button. The PTSA board will check with Mrs. Wysocki to get the O.K. Mercedes requested volunteers for a nominating committee. Peggy Kauffmann volunteered to head the committee. The PTSA donated $100.00 for a lottery basket for the Radnor Educational Foundation auction.
Genardi's certificates will still be on sale, but this program will end in July.
