Dear Bobcat Families,

This weekend is Junior Olympics! If you happen to look in the Town Crier yesterday, there is an article that does a great job depicting just how wonderful JO is and the amazing community spirit that surrounds it. I cannot wait to cheer on all of our 4th, 5th and 6th graders on Saturday. Even if you do not have a student in those grades, walk or ride your bike over to Los Altos High School between 8am and 4pm to see just how amazing this event is. You will not want to drive as parking will be hard to find.

Check out the JO website for event times, maps, and all the information you might need.

CAASP Testing starts next week for 3rd-6th graders. Please help your student do their best by getting plenty of sleep, a good breakfast and getting them to school on time. Please try not to take your student out of school for the next 3 weeks, especially in the am hours when testing will be going on.

TOMORROW IS PJ DAY and 4th-6th graders wear your Junior Olympic Shirts too!

Thank you for keeping our community safe and healthy!

Stay Bobcat Strong!

Mrs. Kelly Rafferty
