December Hot Lunch Orders Open Now

Please take a moment this week to complete your child's hot lunch order form for the month of December.  All orders need to be in by Saturday night in order for your child to participate in hot lunch the first week in December. Sushi, chicken skewers, soup and a sandwich.... aren't our kids lucky?!

This year our 8th graders are completing a year-long service project of their choice. The project started with a formal letter of intent and poster to describe and promote their project. By the end of spring, the students will have completed their service hours along with a research paper.  In May, the 8th graders will put together a portfolio and presentation to showcase their experience.

4th Graders Create 3D California Maps

and Practice Spanish Off-Campus

Our 4th Grade class started their California history unit with the four regions. Students learned about the coast, mountain, desert, and Central Valley regions. They also discussed California's borders, neighboring countries, closest ocean and California's natural resources. The class ended the unit by making salt dough replicas of California's regions and borders.  Stop by the library to take a look at these very colorful, detailed and creative 3D maps of the State of California.  You will never look at a pizza box the same way!

If our 8th graders seems a little bit preoccupied these days, it is because they are in the thick of the research and soul-searching involved with choosing a high school. Presentation has invited every high school in the area to present to our students and parents, and most of the class has shadowed at one or more high school.  Pictured above is the recent info session at school by Principal Kathleen Hawing of Sonoma Valley High School.  An informal poll of our 8th graders found the highest numbers of applications being submitted to (in addition to SVHS): Justin-Siena High School in Napa, Marin Academy in San Rafael and Sonoma Academy in Santa Rosa.  Good luck 8th graders!  

In what is now a beloved annual tradition, our 8th grade students last week headed up to La Hacienda Restaurant for lunch with our Spanish teachers.  All ordering was done in Spanish as was most of the lunchtime conversation!

Books!   (Thanksgiving  or Christmas books;
