“We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles."

Do you want a chance to win amazing prizes like a GoPro? Well, you are in luck because it’s time for our annual GO green sneaker challenge!!!! Go green to school by biking, walking, rolling or carpooling and you will have a chance to win lots of cool prizes. From now through this Friday, April 28th student council and safe routes will be handing out go green sneaker cards. We will choose four random days in which we will be standing out in front of the school stamping your Go Green sneaker cards. Participate all four days and get your card stamped each time and you will be given the chance to win lots of prizes in our big raffle. Look for the tables in front of the school! Go Green to have a chance to win amazing prizes! And Go Green because it’s the fun way to go!

Students, remember that standardized testing begins this week and you should bring your headphones to school with you every day and ensure your ipad is fully charged.

Lunches delivered to the office are for individual students only who have forgotten their lunch and not for parties or other students. Students are not permitted to have their parents deliver group or party lunches (pizza, for example). Beverages in glass bottles are not permitted on campus due to the danger of broken glass and beverages in takeout cups cannot be left for students as they spill in the cabinet and front office areas.

In celebration of May Day, student and parent volunteers will be assembling flower arrangments for the residents of The Redwoods during lunch on Thursday, April 27^th. Students can receive community service credit for their participation. Please help out by bringing fresh flowers or extra vases to school on Thursday. There will be marked collection buckets in the front hall. Thanks for your help!
