Sequoia Updates
Cookie Dough Fundraiser:
Cookie Dough pick-up is Wednesday, October 18th, in the Sequoia Multi-Use room from 12:45 - 3:30 pm. We do not have space to store frozen cookie dough overnight, so please make arrangements to pick-up on October 18th.
After School Safety Concerns:
Over the past two weeks, I have had several parents contact me about unsafe behavior after school. Several of our students have been reported running in the streets, crossing against a red light and even lying down in the roadway. While we have good supervision on campus, school officials can not monitor the downtown Pleasant Hill area after school. If your student is meeting downtown for their ride home, please review safety procedures with them. We don't want any of our students getting hurt!

Counseling Corner
Sequoia Strong Character Education for October: Responsibility
Responsibility is taking ownership of thoughts, words, and actions. This trait is essential for becoming a healthy, happy, and productive person. Responsibility begins with “little things” like taking care of your belongings, working with a good attitude, resolving conflicts peacefully, and owning up to mistakes. Taking responsibility in these “little things” prepares students for greater opportunities in the future. We are responsible for ourselves, others, and our community at Sequoia!
