The grass growth period has commenced and is looking pretty good. Cesar Gonzales, Superintendent from Quality Landscape has been out once a week to check on the field. After the first cut, they will reseed any areas where the sod has not germinated properly. The first cut should happen in a couple of weeks. There is a four month growth / maintenance period.

Julia is our New Teacher Support & Development Coordinator and LIsa is a teacher at Gabilan Elementary. We want to congratulate them on their announced retirement. We will celebrate them and any other employee who plans to retire on Friday, May 15, 2020. We are still trying to secure a location and a theme. If anyone has any suggestion for a theme and if you are interested in participating in organizing the event, please send contact Irma Firme in the Superintendent's Office.
