Boo-Grams
Student Council will sell Boo Grams on 10/25 and 10/26 before school and during lunch. On 10/27 Boo Grams will be sold before school only. They are $.50 each!
What are Boo-Grams? A Boo-Gram is a card that students or families can send to other students, teachers, staff, or themselves for $.50 each. A brief message can be written on it. It can also be anonymous. It’s very similar to a Valentine. They will be delivered to the classrooms at the end of the week.
Flag Football
Our flag football team won their first game Wednesday against Caleb Greenwood 14-6.
Congrats to Coach O and the team! The next game is Wednesday, October 19th against Washington. All games start at 4pm and are played at Will C. Wood Middle School.
The Party
Hey Phoebe staff, families, and friends! The PTO is hosting the second annual The Party on Saturday, October 22nd. It’s not a fundraiser, it’s a chance for good people to hang out and build relationships. We’ve got Sac City Brews all to ourselves and Mike Illif’s band, The Why Nots, will be rocking the house again! We hope to see you there!
LCFF Forms
Families play a critical role in ensuring our Sac City Unified schools are properly funded. Although all students receive free meals regardless of income, the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) application still determines how much funding our district receives. You can help our school community by completing the LCFF application by October 31, 2022. It only takes a few minutes for you to help us protect critical funding for our students! Even if you know that you won’t qualify it is still imperative that you complete the application.

so much more is funded because of the support and care for our school. Thank you!
