our community amazes me

Just a quick recap of a few things: Saturday’s fundraising coffee for Support Sunnyvale Schools / Measure B netted $500 in donations… way to go friends and neighbors! I am especially grateful to a dear friend (she prefers to remain anonymous) who matched the actual Saturday take, $250, with a $250 donation, giving us such an impressive overall total. Girlfriend… YOU ROCK!!

Thank you again to everyone who participated and/or generously donated.

The Measure B phone banks officially started last night and went very well, according to our team.

I was occupied with our first “Successful Strategies for Middle School” event and it was an interesting, informative evening. The panelists were incredibly candid about the joys and challenges of raising teenagers; the packed crowd seemed to appreciate the insights offered by veteran middle school parents.

I am working on follow up activities today, including a post-event survey and finalizing the notes for the evening. If you did not attend and are interested in the handout (Panelists’ Top Five Parenting Tips/Strategies for Middle School Age Children plus a few extra parent education event notes), send me an email (kathy@dirtandsunshine.com) and I will send you a link to the PDF.
