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.
Flag football
Carson played at Jesuit on Sunday afternoon.
Friday morning meeting
Liz from Breathe has been having difficulty getting in touch with staff at Greer Elementary so we can get started with the Sacramento County Safe Routes to School grant. This morning, we just showed up and waited until the VP could see us. It worked.
