HELP (AND WHEELBARROWS!) NEEDED FOR PARENT WORK DAY ON NOV. 3
Many hands make light work! We need your help on campus on Saturday, Nov. 3, 9 am - 1 pm. We have several projects to complete, including landscaping, washing vans, sorting "dorkage" (lost and found), and more.
For the landscaping project, we need wheelbarrows and shovels in addition to people power. Regenerative Landscape Alliance (ReGen.coop) members will also be volunteering and will be guiding the landscaping work that day. Please bring wheelbarrows and shovels if you have them. If you plan on attending the Parent Work Day, please RSVP with the number of people to
Christine here
. Middle school-aged children or older are also welcome. Lunch will be provided.
REPAIR BIKES AFTER FALL EXPEDITION
Families, please make sure that your child's bike is repaired from the fall expedition if requested. You can have it done at any local bike shop, or have the bike monkeys do so with longer time to work on it. Regular maintenance on the bike will allow for longer life of your drive train and more enjoyment on future expeditions and rides outside of school. With gratitude from the Bike Monkeys.
LOST & FOUND
Lost and found is spread out in front of the basketball court and planters.

THE PARTNERSHIP FOR RESILIENT COMMUNITIES
Tuesday, October 30, at 8:30 am in the Lotus Theater
As we all know, our entire community was impacted by the January 9 Debris Flow when 23 of our friends, family and neighbors died, 163 were injured, and 527 homes were damaged or destroyed.
The Partnership for Resilient Communities is a public/private partnership that was formed to mitigate future debris flows in the Montecito community. The Partnership for Resilient Communities is a group of fellow citizens who have partnered with all government agencies and leading disaster experts to identify and implement the best practices in the world for mitigating future disasters, floods, and debris flows in our community through the appropriate use of technology, science, and information.
Santa Barbara Middle School will be hosting an informational session with The Partnership for Resilient Communities on Tuesday, October 30, at 8:30 am in the Lotus Theater. Presenters will include former fire chief Pat McElroy and SBMS parent Hollye Jacobs. This presentation will identify the strategies underway to prevent or mitigate a disaster this winter and beyond.
