Holiday Fundraisers

The Halloween Carnival is a big fundraiser for our school, but other things are happening, too. First, we have a Sally Foster Gift Wrap sale at Apple Blossom. Sally Foster is more than gift wrap -- they sell chocolates and gourmet gifts -- and up to 50% of the proceeds go to the school! Hurry, fundraiser ends October 30th.

Next, there's a Foundation Christmas Tree Sale. Trees will be pre-sold until October 23 and can be picked up either Dec. 2 or Dec. 9 at the Victorian Christmas Tree Ranch.

Happy Holidays and thank you for supporting your school!

Green News

Wow! Have you seen all the "green" going on at the Apple Blossom campus, lately? The garden is coming together nicely. Teams of 4th graders and 5th graders and some parents have been helping with the lunch-waste composting and recycling. We have been composting at big events, such as the Pasta Feed, and will do so again at the Halloween Carnival. And, we were recently accepted into a pilot program whereby Sonoma Compost picks up the food waste that is unacceptable for our worm bins and processes it into compost at their facility.

Walk-A-Thon; Cal Skate Night; Halloween Carnival

Two great fundraisers coming up TOMORROW -- Friday, October 2. First we have the Walk-a-Thon, which helps us keep assistants in the classrooms. Come out to count laps, serve water and muffins, or just cheer the kids on. It's always a lot of fun.

Tomorrow night is a Skate Night. The fun starts at 7pm at Cal Skate in Rohnert Park. The grade with the highest turnout gets a prize.

Also, if you haven't done so yet, please sign up to volunteer for the Halloween Carnival on Saturday, October 24, from 4:30-9pm. This is a fantastic event and the children love it, but we need volunteers to make it happen. There is a sign-up sheet at the entrance to Apple Blossom.
