Question of the Week

Parents,
One of the ongoing activities we do on hall is our question of the week.  Each week, we post a question on the bulletin board and give everyone on hall (and sometimes those from off hall) a chance to answer, then we share all the answers at hall meeting.  People are allowed to answer anonymously if they choose.  This week, as we wrap up the trimester, we would like to take an opportunity to share this tradition with you.  So here is our parent question of the week (the students answered this one a few weeks back, and I think it was one of the most interesting):
Why were you given your name?
You are welcome to include a story about who you were named after, what your name means, who chose your name, why you were given your middle name or a nickname, or anything else that relates.  We interpret our question broadly.  I hope you all enjoy answering as much as the students do.  If I get enough responses here, I may share then with the girls at hall meeting one week.
