* All Principals - Thank you for your data analysis presentations at Tuesday's Special Board Workshop. It was clear that you care about your school community, your focus areas, and the learning outcomes of your students! Julie S., our new Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Accountability, is a great resource when you want to dive in deeper with your data.
* All Principals and Ed Services TOSAs and Managers- Thank you for the collaborative effort to support teachers with math planning time at First Friday! We appreciate the collective work to help all teachers access all possible resources to support student learning.
* Farm Lab - Thank you to Cody Hill for being an amazing team player at Farm Lab, ready to jump and do whatever he can to help! Thank you Anne, Tami and Melanie for your innovative work to bring Ozobots to the 1st grade Farm Lab DREAMS campus lesson (and for participating in a lesson study with 2nd graders to practice and prepare!)! Thank you to Julie for leading the Farm Lab instructional work, for supporting the USDA grant work with students, staff, and partners, and for her leadership of all things around Farm Lab!

Know My Story/ Know Our Story -- 5 Facts about Us
Heather Hultgren, Coordinator of Ed Tech and Media/Communications
- have a new college student. My son Connor is 17 and attending Cal State Sacramento driving toward a degree in Engineering and Computer Science. I also have a 16 year old daughter just got her driver’s license. Whew! Big year for us. Lol. It is very weird now looking at the second half of our life since we spent half our life planning for and having kids.
- You will often hear me say “I love puppies, puppies are my favorite.” I have a 4 month old puppy named Bentley who LOVES everyone. He is 3 pounds big and will only get to be about 4 pounds MAX.
- I spent the majority of my career working in the High Tech Industry and own 2 businesses on the side. I have an advanced degree in Graphic Design and Computer Technology, my credential and masters 😊.
- I have lived in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Switzerland, Arizona, New York and San Diego.
- My ultimate goal is to live on a tropical island someday.
