The start of May signals to many the coming summer.
But here at PTA, May signals the coming of our
big
end-of-the-year
school-wide
celebration …
🎉
FIELD DAY!
🎉
It’s our last hurrah together for the year and a perfect way to spend a beautiful spring day – huffing and puffing, battling our allergies, but also laughing, competing, and making memories.
*If a time slot is full and you would still like to join the festivities, please come! The kids could always use more cheerleaders and we can swap out volunteers, if you'd like to help. The more the merrier!*
**Each class will also need one parent to bring frozen popsicles to school that day. Look out for an email from your room parent to coordinate.**

How To Help Prevent Creek Erosion
|
A message from Annie and Abigail, our two neighborhood Girl Scouts of Pine Valley.
We are trying to raise awareness about the glaring erosion and flooding of the South San Ramon Creek for our Girl Scout Silver Award project. Not many residents know about this problem.
There are many factors causing erosion of the South San Ramon Creek including:
- Wind and water (meaning, the water in the creek is pushing the dirt off)
- Plants that are unnecessary
- Lack of regular maintenance
- Surface run-off from backyards
When there is more water in the creek, more erosion occurs – especially when it flows at a fast pace.
Our solution is rain barrels.
These barrels can help prevent erosion and provide a simple solution which is supported by the City of San Ramon. With this method, water will go into a rain barrel, and only once the barrel overflows, it’ll go into a yard and finally into the street. This is helpful because if less rainwater goes immediately into the street, the water will go into the creek at a slower rate. With this method, hopefully less erosion and flooding will occur.
We have
2 FREE RAIN BARRELS
to give away! Please
contact us
for more information about preventing erosion, or to claim one of our free barrels. Thank you for being a
part of our solution
to cutting down on the erosion of our creek.

Are you missing that favorite sweatshirt or lunchbox? It is likely in Walt Disney’s Lost and Found, located in the back of the Multipurpose Room! We have accumulated piles of leftover clothing, water bottles, and so much more.
Please take a moment to pick up your forgotten or lost items before the end of the school year. We will donate anything that is left behind.
Thank you!
