NATIVE FOODS LUNCH
Last week's lunch fun-raiser turned out to be our highest grossing lunch yet, with JS parents generating over $1,200 in sales at Native Foods. 20% is donated back to benefit the school. So far this year, lunch fun-raisers have generated more than $600 to the PC fund,which benefits the school. Thank you to everyone who participated and especially to all the kindy parents who made a picnic of it on the front lawn!

Parent Conferences
Journey School is committed to establishing strong educational partnerships with its families focused on student learning and personal growth. That is why we have scheduled important parent conferences for October 27, 28, 29 and November 1. During these 45-minute learning conversations, teachers and parents will explore such questions as:
- What is my student learning?
- How is he/she progressing academically and personally?
- What new insight can be gained by talking about student work, teacher observations, and parental feedback?
- How can we support even more growth by focusing on common goals?
Your Main Class Teacher will be in contact in the coming days about the specific day and time your conference will occur. In the meantime, be sure to maintain availability as your conference is a schooling priority that must occur to serve your child well. We look forward to the dialogue!

This week, Mrs. Mary, the Master Gardener, taught about worms in the garden and gave us our first beginner batch of a worm bed that we will be tending from now on! We also made Challah for the first time and plan on continuing to share with the rest of the school as we did our delicious challah!
