Glow Dance: We need drink donations for the Glow Dance- waters, juice boxes, sodas. Angela Sherwood is working on food donations through Cost Co but may need food as well. She is also looking for people to help set up and decorate the PV Clubhouse. Contact Angela at 619-565-5543.
Comfort Bags: I sent a letter asking parents to send comfort bags for their students.They will be used in an emergency if we have an extended lock down or have to shelter in place. Hopefully, we will not have to use them and we will return them at the end of the year. I have included a picture of a model bag sent in by a parent last week.
Family Lunch Day & Chinese New Year Parade: Join us on Friday, Jan. 31st for the last day of the month "Family Lunch Day". We will have a Chinese New Year parade between our two lunch periods. First lunch will be 11:45-12:15. The parade will take place at 12:20ish then the Second Lunch will start right after the parade, around 12:45.
Art Docents and Interested Volunteers: For the past few years Descanso has been making art to display at Rady's Children's Hospital. This year our theme is Kindness/Love to display in the hospital during the month of February. All art is due on January 27th. Talk with your child's teacher if you would like to help with this project.
