Mr. Isaac sends his thanks – As you read in the email on Wednesday, Mr. Isaac spent his birthday participating in a 12-bike stationary bike ride to raise money for the Sacramento YMCA. His goal was to raise $10,000 by 6 pm on February 23 rd, but thanks to all the Dragons who dug deep and helped out, Mr. Isaac was able to raise over $18,000 during his 8 th annual bike-a-thon! He asked me to tell you how much he appreciates all of your support. If you still want to contribute, visit www.isaacbikeride.com
Behavior on Playground – Our Dragons are amazing and phenomenal. But there is always room for improvement and we need your assistance. Please have a conversation at home with your students about making positive choices while on the playground. This includes but is not limited to keeping hands to yourself, keeping away from locations that aren’t supervised, not bringing toys and other inappropriate items from home, and being kind to one another. Ideally, I would like to hire additional staff to help with supervision but the budget does not allow it. Please remind your Dragons about making positive choices and following school rules.
The Wizard of Oz is coming to Phoebe! Signups are open for the Young Actor’s Stage production of the Wizard of Oz. Auditions are March 6th and 8th and rehearsals will be at Phoebe Hearst on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning March 20th, right after school. There is a cost to participate in this program. Space is limited so don’t wait to get registered. You can sign up here: https://www.youngactorsstage.com/oz-phoebe-hearst
Volunteers to Lead Recess Clubs – One of the most difficult times for kids is unstructured time. This is JUST AN IDEA. I’d like to create small structured clubs to be run by mostly parents during lunch. For example, board games club, Pokemon club, chess club, chalk club, hula hoop club, and jump rope club. The goal is to give kids who struggle with unstructured time an opportunity to participate in a structured activity that is managed and supervised by an adult. You wouldn’t need to be an expert. You would just need to be willing to supervise a small group of kids. Like I said this is just an idea that I would like to see if there is any interest and willing volunteers. Any volunteer would need to be fingerprinted and cleared through the district. If you are interested please complete this Google Form.
