A Message From Your Principal
November 20, 2020
Dear Village Families,
As we move into the holiday season, I must say I have much in my life to be thankful for. I am grateful for our resilient and supportive community, the extraordinary group of educators I have the privilege to work with, our inclusive and warm Village community. I truly hope you and your family have a restful Thanksgiving break, filled with love and peace and the comfort the season can bring. Please stay safe and healthy if you are gathering with friends and family.
Gratitude Poem
Be grateful that you don’t already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be grateful when you don’t know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be grateful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be grateful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be grateful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.
Be grateful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be grateful when you’re tired and weary,
because it means you’ve made a difference.
It’s easy to be grateful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also grateful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be grateful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

Looking to connect with other Village families?
Click here to join the new Village Parents Club Slack Group
The Slack group is free, private, and easy to access from a phone or computer. It works a lot like a closed Facebook group, but it doesn't require a Facebook account and the conversations are really easy to search and organize.
In the Slack group you can connect with parents who have kids in the same grade, share ideas and support with other Village families, and feel less alone in this weird and wild time we are all parenting through.
Feel free to contact parentsclub@villageparents.org if you have questions or need help getting setup on Slack.
Please find the district student calendar below

Pies For Poverty
Please Click on the PDF below for all ordering information.
My name is Kati Hilario. In 2011, I started my Pies for Poverty project, baking
and selling Thanksgiving pumpkin pies and donating the profits to the Redwood
Empire Food Bank. I’ve baked 341 pies since then, and with the generous help of
this community, you’ve helped me raise over $32,429 for the Food Bank. With the
current pandemics and yearly wildfires, people struggling with food insecurity
need assistance now more than ever. Please join me in my tenth year of this
project and support the Food Bank by buying pies for your Thanksgiving table, as
gifts, or as a donation to a first responder or local nonprofit. You may also choose
to make a financial donation through my project by sending a check written to the
Food Bank to me and I will submit it with my project proceeds.
