Starship PTO
Starship Corner Zoom Meeting
This week's Starship PTO meeting will be Thursday 5/21 at 7pm. The focus of the meeting will be to discuss leadership opportunities and structure of the PTO for the coming year. Every parent, teacher and staff member is a part of Starship and it is essential that Starship represent both programs and the entire community. In order to ensure that Starship meets the needs of the whole school, the leadership team and all essential committees should include parents from each program. The role of president and other key positions will be shared roles. There are lots of places for parents to get involved and it is exciting to explore the opportunities to come together in these uncertain times to support the campus. A huge thank you to everyone for continuing to stay connected during this time.

Introducing the New Community Building Team - The Bridge Team
The purpose of The Bridge Team is to help facilitate and support building community as one school, Orion Alternative. Orion is home to two unique programs, Orion Alternative Parent Participation and Mandarin Immersion with students and parents from different perspectives and experiences. The content of this work includes a group of parents from our different programs working with Principal Katherine and an external facilitator, Seeds of Change.
We are reviewing the results of the community survey and analysis in preparation for a larger community Zoom event. The Bridge Team are committed to uniting our community as a school while understanding and appreciating the unique characteristics of each program.
