Community Fundraiser Silent Auction
We need your help to make the Community Fundraiser Silent Auction a success! If you have a connection or are interested in organizing a donation to support our school, please contact Cheri Jaunich, Auction Chair (and mom to Stella in Grade 7) at
cjaunich@yahoo.com or 650-288-7518.
All ideas are welcome! Here are a few things from our wish list to get your creative juices flowing.
Could you?
*Create a unique experience?
Whale watching or a boat ride on the bay with lunch? Stadium tour with tickets to the game? Arrange a ride to school in a police car or fire engine? Tour of Google or Facebook or EA Sports?
*Tickets to Sporting Events?
Are your able to donate tickets (and maybe even a parking pass) to the Giants, A's Warriors, Raiders, 49ers, Earthquakes, Sharks?
*Provide a Vacation?
Do you have a timeshare you won't be using this year or a vacation home you own? Consider donating a week or weekend to the auction. Exotic locations are always fun, but people love to get away close to home too. Anything in Tahoe? Santa Cruz? Carmel? Santa Barbara? Point Reyes? Mendocino?

Attention 7th Grade Families!
Dear Seventh Grade Parents,
We are just 7 school days away from our Yosemite "take-off" date of Monday, February 13, from the Belmont Cal Train Station! Please plan to arrive no later than 7:10 am to facilitate our loading and on-time departure at 7:30 am. Mother Nature has been kind enough to drop more than nine feet of snow in the meadows where we will snowshoe and learn about animal and plants winter adaptations. Students will build snow shelters and a snow kitchen and experience what it would be like to camp in the snow. The hiking groups will spend several days exploring Yosemite Valley, learning about the geology and natural history and also the human impact on the environment. Thank you again, for helping to prepare your student and for entrusting us with their well-being. The faculty and the NatureBridge staff are committed to leading a safe, educational, fun and memorable week. The students' unique qualities will collectively benefit their group; helping them to maximize their experience. These qualities include humor, compassion, and strength, leadership, a sense of calm and being an expert snow ball thrower! Students are eager for this trip and so are the faculty chaperones. We look forward to seeing you on our departure morning. Please contact me at 415-205-7083 if you have any questions.
In that outdoor spirit, Danny Meyer
