On Friday, March 30 and 31, thirty middle school students who have volunteered for the opportunity, will embark on a community service project entitled the 30 Hour Famine. This project is designed to raise money and awareness for those around the world who suffer from hunger, poverty and a lack of hope.  Students participating must be present for all 30 hours, they will miss three main meals (drinking lots of juice instead) and embark on a community service project. They will be sequestered in the library, and sleep there, when they are not off campus participating in the service project. 

This initiative is a worldwide program, led here locally at Presentation by 6th grade teacher Mrs. Walthard, with assistance from the Student Council.  There is no cost to the participants but they are expected to raise $180 each for the program.  

Please deliver permission slips to the office Tuesday morning.

The eighth graders have been recently studying vocabulary and phrases related to food, and ordering food.  What better way to use this vocabulary than to go order from a Mexican restaurant where they have to order in Spanish? The class will be going to La Hacienda in two groups on March 15 and 16.  

Join us for this year's  "BBQ, Bands & Bunkers" golf Tournament spread over two days (due to the fact we could not put so much fun into just one day), Sunday, May 6, 2012 and Monday, May 7, 2012 at the world famous Sonoma Golf Club.

The tournament begins Sunday, May 6th evening at 5:00PM with a casual gourmet BBQ dinner which you will enjoy during our exciting live auction.  Then sit back for the remainder of the evening to enjoy and dance to the fabulous music of "Our Own" Loosely Covered and Neverland bands.  This is also a good opportunity to begin to formulate your winning strategies for tomorrow's game.

Monday, May 7th begins at 8:30 a.m. with registration, use of the driving range and a putting contest.   A gourmet box lunch from Sonoma Market will be provided for you.  Then it is on to the course for a shot gun start at 10:00 a.m. where there will be prizes for closest to the pin, longest drive and a hole in one contest.   An awards ceremony immediately follows.

Tuition Assistance Deadline:

The priority tuition assistance deadline is past but if you expect to need aid, you may still apply (see school web site for hot link).  For questions, or to receive application information, please contact Nancy Waarich-Fischman at 935-0122 or nfischman@presentationschool.com.

Safety First:  

In the coming weeks, you will notice several changes that are designed to make our campus safer.  During the hours of 9:00 - 2:30, the side parking lot will be coned off.  We are asking parents and visitors to park in the front lot and then report to the Office.   As Presentation is situated on a large parcel, it is important for faculty and staff to know who is on campus.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Winter worries:  

It's that time of the year!  Be on the look out for those tiny creatures that make our students scratch their heads.  If the little critters are found, please contact Mrs. Wallace for information on next steps.
