On your marks! Get set! Go! Junior Olympics is this weekend and we’re so excited! This incredibly fun day is a fantastic district-wide event! It’s a chance for our children to compete in the athletic events of their choice; to showcase the hard work they’ve put in training for their events. It’s a chance for our athletes to bond together as a team and show us all how strong their school spirit and Bobcat spirit is. And it’s a chance for us parents to come together to support our athletes and show how strong our Santa Rita Community is! And, we need YOUR help with the Santa Rita hospitality tent, opening ceremony, and clean-up. Please sign-up if you can volunteer!
We’ll see you all this Saturday, April 27th, 8am-4pm, at Los Altos High School as we cheer on all the athletes competing and representing Santa Rita. Come early as parking is limited at the high school (overflow parking will be available at Almond Elementary and the Community Center). For more information, please check out the LASD Junior Olympics website here. GO BOBCATS!

Want to help make our school gardens look great? With all of the recent rains, Living Classroom can really use some help keeping up with the weeds in both the edible and native gardens at all of our schools. This could be a fun social event for parents at drop off time once a week or perhaps at lunchtime when the kids could be given some direction and help out. Weekend help is also welcome. We are also looking for folks to continue to help care for the school gardens over the summer. Please contact Living Classroom Garden Manager Sandi Elefant if you can lend a hand!
