Many thanks to the students that helped with the FoodLab/Life Lab collaborative workshop last Saturday! Thank you for spending your Saturday teaching 15 educators from around the world (India, Alabama, Oakland, Berkeley, Pajaro, Watsonville) how to operate a FoodLab program at their school sites: Dominique, Maeva, Olivia, Ricky, Ryder, Zephyr, and Neli.
Donors who wish their names to remain confidential gave a $5,000 gift to the school to support participation in after-school activities. The gift is in memory of Violet Yazzolino Petersen. While the guidelines for the scholarship have yet to be finalized, we intend to implement the use of this resource during the current school year and in the years to come.

Other donors who wish their names to remain confidential gave a $50,000 gift to the school, to be used at the Principal's discretion.  The gift is from the Frances H. Ellison Fund and is made in honor of Stephanie and Chris Raugust.  For those who don't already know, Stephanie and Chris are the proprietors of Whale City Bakery Bar and Grill.  Stephanie is the founder and frequent supporter of FoodLab.  The funds may not be used for facilities nor staff compensation; rather they are intended to promote "teacher empowerment".  Teachers are currently submitting wish lists to support various instructional efforts.  About half of the funds will be used to purchase new science curriculum.
Parents' Club is in search of a parent to serve as 
President of Parents' Club for the 2019-2020 school year!
We are ready to train a person who can carry on the torch of President; it is a fun job for the right person and a great way to give back to this amazing school! Training is about 5 hours total time. Time requirements for the job are approximately 3 hours a week and a 1-hour meeting once a month on Tuesdays from 5:30-6:30pm.
 
IS THIS YOU?!
You are a parent with leadership skills and a positive approach; you are detail driven, good at delegation, in love with Pacific School, and enjoy volunteering. Please contact, Caitlin at 
Caitlinpmk@yahoo.com.

We are also looking for a parent to take on Popcorn sales for the 2019-2020 school year. Training is a 1-day requirement. Commitment is once a week on Wednesdays from 12:30-2:00pm.
Your children have spent the last two weeks creating beautiful art for our Square 1 Art fundraiser. We should be receiving order forms and free stickers around Oct 22; the stickers can be made into magnets or used to decorate computers and iphones. You will also have the opportunity to order your child(ren)'s art printed on items from water bottles to jewelry. Check out the poster in the lunchroom or the samples in the office.

Your orders can be placed online between Oct 22 and Nov 5. (If you don't have access to a computer, please bring a check to the office with your order form.)

If you order by Nov 5, we will get the finished products the last week of November. These items make perfect holiday gifts for family and friends. Pacific School Foundation gets 20% of the total purchases. So you can help support the library, music, Life Lab, and our classrooms while supporting your child(ren)'s artistic endeavors and sharing those gifts with family and friends! If you have any questions email me :
