Principal's Message
Happy January Bulldog Families!
The first school week of 2019 is officially in the books and students are back in their routines. Unfortunately, the week started with a shocking incident but the great Millbrae Sheriff's Department responded quickly and supported us with an investigation. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you see or hear anything suspicious. Even if it does not seem credible, please let us know. We take it all seriously and Deputy Moher, the School Resource Officer, does a great job of following up.
We ended the week on a positive note with our "Positive Phrase Clothespins". There were 5000 clothespins put on tables around school that students could pick up and give to others who were "kind", "humorous", "helpful", "Gucci". The students loved it and saw how a big impact could be made by a small gesture.
There are a lot of exciting events coming up as we approach the half-way mark of the year so check your calendars! We will message out the details of the events as they get closer. If you have any questions about events send us an email or give us a call.
Stay warm and dry!

Dear Taylor families,
We hope you enjoyed the holiday season!
We wanted to start by thanking you for dropping off your cookies/desserts for our teachers and staff just before break -- they felt your appreciation! See attached photo of what was brought in.
We also want to thank the families who purchased Dave & Busters game cards. We were able to raise almost $4,000 through your support!
We are excited that a few of the classrooms will be getting new televisions soon to replace outdated projectors or old televisions. The teachers will be able to more effectively incorporate online teaching resources as a result! This wouldn't be possible without the generous support of Taylor families who have made donations to the PTA -- thank you!
Please save the date for our next PTA Association Meeting on Monday, February 4 at 7 pm at Taylor Library. We will have a special speaker presenting an important topic that today's teen and tween parents must be aware of. Stay tuned for the official announcement soon.
Also, please save the date for Taylor PTA's biggest fundraiser of the year -- Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, February 9 from 9 am to noon at the Shea Center! There will be delicious pancakes and sausage, and raffles for special gift baskets (including 8th grade promotion VIP seats). Order forms will be sent home soon - must purchase in advance by January 28. We ask for every Taylor family's support of this important fundraiser! (And a special thank you to the Millbrae Lions for their generous support of our Pancake Breakfast!)
Thank you for caring about our students, our teachers, and our school, and we are looking forward to a bright 2019 together!
Warm regards,
Taylor PTA Board
