Cesar Birthday
What are you doing in your room to observe and acknowledge his work?
I know people have books about him and the library does as well. Please find a few minutes to read to the students about him if don't have anything planned or haven't already done something.
Here are a couple of resources.
Mental Health
After 13 years of asking for support we are finally in a place where we have coordinated efforts to support our children and families. Here is a brief summary of what we have in place.
Missy leads a team of interns: Sophia Metzer, Christine XX and Maria Gomez. These folks are providing direct services to students. Maria is from Mentis in Napa and is being funded by the district. Sophia and Christine are completing their hours for their respective Universities.
Burnett Therapeutic (Clay and Rosy) provide services on campus to students and do some in home support for a couple of families. They are funded through medical-cal and coordinated through La Luz.
Theresa meets with parents Friday nights at La Luz and is funded through grant money that La Luz secured for us.
SAY, Hanna and LGBTQ Connections, Sonoma County Behavioral Health support in specific areas and depend on need and referral.
Dr. Kirk offers a Parent Cafe every week where parents to have the opportunity to work through a variety of issues and concerns.
All referrals will continue to go through Missy. She does an in-take and decides which service is best suited for the particular need. This is very exciting!!! Thank you!!!

Lucy Calkins and her Team (Repeat)
I wanted to share with you one of the many reasons I am an advocate for readers and writers workshop and the professional development Lucy Calkins and her team offer.
Attached is a statement recently published by Lucy and her colleagues regarding their work.
For me it is not just about the level of rigor, quality of instruction and development of independent thinkers and learners... it is also about equity, social justice and racism.
