Oakland over<BR>the weekend, nor to the shooting at Johnston's Barbershop last Tuesday in<BR>Berkeley. <BR><BR>Counselors and Health Center Staff have been notified and are on call<BR>today should students need direct assistance.<BR><BR>The Administrative Team will put out appropriate updates should there be<BR>significant changes or developments. <BR><BR>Strong communities stick together and support each other through times<BR>like this and I believe we are more than capable of doing just that. <BR><BR>Pasquale Scuderi<BR>Principal<BR>Berkeley High School<BR><BR><BR><FONT size=2>Diane Douglas, Marguerite Fa-Kaji and Pat Anderson are the parent-volunteer facilitators of the etree; please direct any questions to them at bhs-owner@lmi.net. <BR><BR>BHS etree archives: http://lists.lmi.net/pipermail/bhs/; BHS PTSA website: http://www.bhs.berkeleypta.org/.
