I kept trying to warn ya'... this week is a DOOZY! So much fun stuff! 

TUESDAY:

• WEAR ORANGE to celebrate Unity Day! Unity day is a school-based initiative that promotes acceptance, inclusion, and aims to end bullying. Kids will participate in a "Unity Chain" activity at lunch - ask them about it for a great conversation starter!
  
  
• It's DONUTS WITH LOVED ONES(Brought to you by the PTO)! 
  Join us for donuts with your littles (and mmm... coffee for the "bigs") in the Large MPR before school starts! We'll be serving it up from 7:45 AM - 8:30 AM! 
  • The back gate will be open at 7:45 AM for parents to come on campus with their students! Students must be accompanied by an adult to enter the back gate before 8:10 AM. The back gate will close at 8:30 AM. All parents must exit through the front gate if you are still on campus at that time. 

WEDNESDAY: 

• Students will enjoy a presentation by Capt. Bob's Rockets and Robots at a school assembly (Brought to you by the PTO)! Ask your Husky to tell you what they saw - let's all learn something cool!
   

THURSDAY: 

• Registration opens at 10 AM for Session 2 of the PTO-organized Wednesday After School Programs (available for grades 1-5). It's an amazing lineup including Magic, Sports, Cooking, Science, Dance and more!! Please note that the Culinary class requires entry into a LOTTERY - which begins TODAY! Learn more!
  
  
• It's the Great California ShakeOut! Students will be doing an earthquake drill during school ... chat about it with them to help make sure your whole family is prepared!
  
  
• YEE-HAAAWWW! It's our BOOTS & BUDDIES Dance (Brought to you by the PTO)! Grab your sons and GIT on down to the Large MPR from 6 PM - 8 PM! Enjoy food trucks, a Photo Booth, games and prizes - and of course a great party! Can't wait to see you there, partner! (Please note the back gate will NOT be open - please enter in the front gates for this event.)

While the PTO enjoys providing all the fun filling the calendar... our priority will always be the educational programs and support for our students.Currently 36% of our families have joined the PTO as members or made a donation to support these programs. 

Our Membership Drive and supporting Donations fund the programs and activities that the PTO provides throughout the year. Our goal is to provide 100% of those benefits to our students and upcoming events - but we can't do that if we don't meet our goals! 

If you are able to consider joining us as a member or making a donation - we would greatly appreciate your support! 

Already donated or joined the PTO? Be sure to check if your company has a matching gift program to make your donation go twice as far! Contact us with any questions on the Matching Gift Program! 

Can't remember if you joined? If you haven't received your water bottle or notice of your other incentives... then chances are good you haven't joined! Contact us and we'll double check for you! 

The PTO supports a YES vote on Measure J!
