Stewardship Day-CANCELLED
Unfortunately we will need to cancel Stewardship Day tomorrow! Between the weather, illness, and some materials not being here on time, we felt it best to call it off. Sorry for the inconvenience! Thank you to those who were planning on helping us with our projects. Instead of rescheduling we will engage the middle schools students to help us complete our most needed projects, such as building the weather shelters, during school hours next week.

Board Update
Greetings, Madrone Trail community!
Among other regular business, the issue has been raised that we don’t have a proper reduced speed school zone on Ross Lane, and some community members are concerned. We will be hearing those concerns at our upcoming board meeting on November 10th at 4:30pm. If you would like to hear the issues raised or share your own thoughts, you are welcome to come to the meeting. If you’re unable to make the meeting, you’re always welcome to share your thoughts by contacting a board member, or emailing the entire board at board@madronetrail.org. If you wish us to read your email as a public comment during the meeting, we will aim to do so. Zoom options are also available in our board agenda, which is posted to our website calendar.

Last Futsal practice tonight 5:30-7pm at Hedrick. It has been fun!
All 3 groups have basketball club tomorrow 11/6 at Grace, then we are off until Spring. Many of our boys are playing Junior Comets basketball and my hope is that our girls will do the same when their season starts after the new year!
Time Reminder

Group B (11-12 pm)
Group C (12-1:15 pm)
Last Tuesday our Madrone Trail boys teams scrimmaged with four Cascade teams with our two Madrone Trail teams playing two mini games each. Our 8th grade boys won their second game. Special shout out to Monty Pepper for a team high 11 points in the game and Jonah Anderson for the defensive play of the game by stealing the ball from the opposing point guard and then swishing a 15 foot shot right after. Great effort from all the participants in each grade! Great job Dragons!

Roots to Rise
~Nurturing roots to support developmental growth~
Does your child struggle with learning challenges, sensory processing issues, ADHD, ADD, balance and coordination issues, eye tracking challenges, anxiety, melt downs, sleep issues, social and emotional challenges, weakness, fatigue, speech delay, autism, food sensitivities, PTSD? When the brain and body are not working well together, challenges arise.
Roots to Rise utilizes a holistic approach to enhance a child’s learning through supporting a healthy development of the Central Nervous System and the foundational senses (Tactile, Vestibular and Proprioception).
Children can make positive gains in attention, emotional well being, academics, coordination and balance through neurodevelopmental movements (integration of reflexes) and sensory integration. Jane Higgins, the founder of Roots to Rise has trained with Nina Gallwey, a remedial teacher at the Siskiyou School. Jane taught at Madrone Trail (Waldorf inspired), where she brought one class of students from first grade all the way to eighth grade.
Currently, Jane works with children one-on-one in her Roots to Rise Ashland office. Movement is brought in a playful and fun way specifically focusing on the integration of reflexes and sensory imbalances. “In my 30 years of working with children, I’ve never seen anything transform a child’s success as I have since focusing on sensory integration, and primitive and postural reflexes.”
