Satori News for December 1, 2008

Thursday or Friday Catherine Carlton, of First Choice Power will be visiting Satori School, to take a look at the project in action for which Ms. Corley received the First Choice Innovative Classroom Grant. Some pictures will be taken for their media releases and we need to have releases signed by each child’s parent in case their child appears in any of the pictures. Please sign and return as soon as possible.

Yoga for Kids is now being offered on Wednesdays at 3:30 after school beginning December 3.

Wednesday, December 3, 2008, the Upper and Middle school students will take a field trip to the Texas City Prairie Preserve, which is a project of the Nature Conservancy and the Houston Zoo. Students will study coastal prairie, marine seining, and water quality.   Please have your child bring a bag lunch and wear appropriate clothing as specified in the field trip directions.  Look for the Parental Permission and Liability form for signature. If you can transport, contact your child’s teacher.  We will leave by 8:30 AM.

Come to the next Parent Board meeting on Thursday, December 4, at 6:00 PM.  Get an update about progress on the renovations and plan our spring fundraising activities including the BBQ.  Fundraising is critical this year so come to this meeting to give us your good ideas.  Annual Giving letters have been sent and now we will follow up with phone calls. WE NEED YOU!

On Saturday, December 6, 2008, it has been proposed that Satori host a Bake Sale Fundraiser in front of our building from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM.  We also will offer crafts, remaining greenery and La Te Da products at our table.  Since it is Dickens weekend we would anticipate a rapid sell out of items. A Dickens booth was too costly so this is our alternative proposal.  Please sign up on the parent volunteer board if you can help bake, help sell at our table, or do both.
