MANY HANDS MAKE IT HAPPEN

A BIG Thank You to everyone who signed up for a shift at Harvest Faire. All Volunteers are asked to "CHECK IN" and pick up your Volunteer Sticker at the Volunteer Tent PRIOR to the start of your shift. From set up to clean up, all day, all volunteers must check in.

If you find yourself at the Faire and wanting to help even more, just stop by the Volunteer Tent and we'll find you a booth in need! And it's not too late to sign up for Fairy Cafe or Class Booth shifts. Learn more on the PC Website.

We are still in need Fairy Cafe donations. Please help provide goodies for the most profitable venue at the Faire. Cupcakes are especially needed. Get more info or sign up here.

FOCUS ON LEARNING

Journey first graders have been enjoying their Nature Studies hikes to Aliso Creek. Ms. Lee's students collaboratively built a stone bridge to get from one side of the creek to the other. Thank you Journey Dad, Mr. Martinez, for the great creek photo.

One student found a smiley face in the cliff and assiduously added his own details (including eye brows, mouth and nose).

ARTISTS IN ACTION

The Art Shed space was put to good use this week:

6th grade painted watercolors in Monday's rain

7th graders completed an acrylic sign for Harvest Faire
