Thank you to all the committee members: Brenna Yard, Shondra Eames, Jessica Mussallam, Deborah Potts, Kate Sheehy, Catalina Kaltenbach, Jessica Valdez, Kelly Valera, Karen Miles, Kennon Fleischmann and Carrie Messner.

A huge gratitude to all for the many ways everyone has been involved this week from the Garden Workday on Sunday, Bioblitz on Monday, Jog-a-thon and Student Presentation to the school board on Tuesday, field trips to the pumpkin patch and Sacramento Thursday and Friday. Check out Scarlett Sanders and James Dole's presentation to the school board on our school website, they represented our community beautifully! I am still in awe of all the dancing, running and fundraising this week, thank you for the support and community efforts.
We will be holding our site council election in the coming weeks. Interested in analyzing school data, forming and tracking goals? Please let me know!
