Important Safety Reminders:
At Entrance 3 (Borel Ave), if students are dropped off across the street, they must walk to the stop sign to cross instead of dangerously jaywalking. At the end of the day, we will also have students walk to the stop sign to cross the street.
Similarily, students that use entrance 1 or 2, must look before crossing the street and cross in a crosswalk. Parents, please talk to your children about how and where to cross the street safely. This includes NOT looking at a phone while crossing the street. Thank you for your partnership to keep our students safe.

Project Pantry Snack Drive
Project Pantry’s mission is to help feed students at Borel, and we are doing a final project for this year! We are having a snack drive for granola bars and fruit snacks. These will go directly to teachers in classrooms across the school for hungry students during break. We are collecting:
Granola Bars
Fruit Snacks (small, individual packs)
If possible, please donate by June 4th and help feed Borel students. Nut-free snacks are preferred, but all donations are helpful! Donations can be dropped off at the front office starting today. Any questions, please contact Mrs. Spaulding at
pspaulding@smfc.k12.ca.us
Thank you,
The Project Pantry Team
