days to label, stuff and glue shut 3,400 pieces of mail. They were helped
by the 55 regular volunteers who on a weekly basis answer questions and direct
visitors at the Front Desk. On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week 53 volunteers
came in to register, proctor, and sort for the all sophomore Exit Exams. On 8th
Grade Information Night, volunteers came to usher, talk, and promote the
various small schools. On College Night we sold copies of The Berkeley Book of
College Essays--a fund-raiser for the College and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName

produced by volunteers. On every day (10:30 on Mondays/9:30 on the other days)
a volunteer stepped out of the Front Office leading a group of prospective
families on a small group tour. And we kept track of all these comings and
goings thanks to the three volunteers who efficiently and meticulously run the
BHS etree. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

out of their day--taking time off from work, putting off important
commitments--in order to support and help the education of our precious
children. Our children are loved--and I love the community that steps up and
comes through for them over and over. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
