Library News:
K-2 Author Event, Tues. 3/5
On Tuesday, 3/5, author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds will be visiting Lakeshore. Reynolds is the award-winning author of many wonderful picture books, including The Dot, Ish, The Word Collector, and many more.
All Kindergarten-2nd grade students will attend an assembly in the Community Room from 9:45-10:45. And, even more exciting, each student will receive their own personal, autographed, FREE copy of his upcoming book Say Something! This book encourages children to express their ideas and dreams because everyone’s beliefs are important.
We are very excited about this event! Thank you to the Library Department, Books, Inc., and Mr. Hartford for making this event possible.
Questions? Contact Ms. Lauren at sidlel@sfusd.edu. Learn more about Peter Reynolds at peterhreynolds.com.

SFUSD Secured ERAF Surplus
Last week, the Board of Supervisors unanimously supported establishing a special fund to provide bridge funding for SFUSD and pre-school educator salaries while Props G and C are being challenged in Court.
In addition to the $26 million for the District's Rainy Day Reserve and $9 million for PEEF, the City will reserve up to $42 million of ERAF funding for the City's Rainy Day Reserve, a total of $77 million for public schools! The powerful coalition of PTA, UESF, the Parents Union, Parents for Public Schools, community organizers, educators and parents worked together to secure funding for our schools. Kudos everyone!
