To Berkeley

A quick trip to Stone Mountain and Daughter on Thursday to pick up 6 yards of Egyptian cotton sateen.

But first I had to finish this.

Monday. President’s Day. Finished!

Next. Wish me luck.

Valentine’s Day

Perfect day to go for a training ride with American River Bike Patrol. We met at Brenda’s house.

Rich Fowler.

Thank you Jibe for buying everyone a coffee and muffin at Tree House in W Sacramento.

On the way back, in Discovery Park, there was a fake incident to see if the trainee patrollers responded correctly. Brenda tended to the person who had a stroke, Leo was in charge of “calling” 911, Lori was helping Brenda with the assessment but had to laugh when Leo was really going to call 911.

34 miles.

Basketball

The season is winding down and St Ignatius 8th graders are a powerful team. They’re aggressive and work together really well. Monday at SI. Note the score with 2 minutes left.

Tuesday, the final home game.

Super Bowl bike ride

There was plenty of time before the big game to go for a long bike ride. Along the American River Bike Trail. We crossed to the other side of the river at Watt Ave.

Lunch at Garden on the Line. Cheryl, BarbaraL, Brenda, Kimberly, BarbaraB:

FACE

Friday morning breakfast meeting of many non-profit organizations who work within the San Juan Unified School District.

Always a challenge for schools: how to get families to participate, get involved, and share their opinion. SJUSD has developed a framework for Family and Community Engagement.

Evening at Greer

In the afternoon I prepared some materials for an event – Sammi’s Circuit – at Greer Elementary. Thank you online resources for being able to easily translate my simple questions into four languages – Spanish, Dari, Pashto and Farsi.

However, there was a miscommunication about arrival time. BarbaraL and I arrived to see everyone (except maybe the guy on the phone) focused on Sammi’s motivational introduction before the activities began. Oh well.
