The Night of 1,000 Inventions returns to the Pleasant Hill Library on Tuesday, September 24th, from 6 to 8 pm. In partnership with Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science and NeuroSky (a leading developer of brainwave sensors), this event kicks off the Pleasant Hill Education Initiative with lots of robots, mind-controlled helicopters, a tornado machine, smoke ring cannon, mechanical horse, and tons more hands-on innovations. Kids are also challenged to make prototypes of their own invention and fill out a patent card! Please see this flier for more information!

Spanish at Strandwood

Would your child like to learn Spanish? Viva el Espanol of Lafayette has been offering Spanish after school at Strandwood for several years. We would like to invite you to visit their site ( http://www.vivaelespanol.org/) to see if this would be of interest to your child(ren). You may register online or contact Tori Meline, AVP of Programs at trmeline@gmail.com with questions.

Spanish classes will be held on campus after school. Classes will start once enrollment meets the minimum participation requirements and you will be notified of the class date and time via email.

Gracias,

Strandwood PTA
