Satori Celebrates First Thanksgiving on Mars!

Satori students are busy designing their own “Imagine Mars”  community with buildings, atmosphere, environ- ment, government, personal and home necessities and more. They are naming their new community today.   Tomorrow we will celebrate our first Thanksgiving on Mars with a feast for the new colonists.  Parents are welcome to join us for the feast, which will feature turkey and ham.  Lower school students will provide the vegetable dishes, Middle school students will provide desserts, and Upper school will do the drinks. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO THE NEW SATORI COLONISTS OF MARS!

Remember our fall fundraiser, La Te Da, and order your gifts by December 2, 2008, so that we can get our orders by the holiday.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 25, 2008, there will be no Yoga for Kids class.  Following Thanksgiving, Yoga for Kids will switch permanently to Wednesdays beginning December 3.

On 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 have a tight schedule for the day’s directed learning activities so we will leave by 8:30 AM.

The next Parent Board meeting will be Thursday, December 4, at 6:00 PM.  Please come and hear about progress on the renovations and plan our spring fundraising activities including the BBQ.  Fundraising is critical this year so be sure to come to this meeting to give us your good ideas.  WE NEED YOU!

Stori Board Looks Great

Thanks to all parents for a terrific turn out at our Board meeting last Thursday, October 16, 2008.  Congratulations to Don Davison for his election as our new Treasurer!

Welcome to our new group of four year old students!  Lillie, Abigail, Chloe, and Nico joined Ms. Roy’s class for the first time yesterday.  They had a busy day from 8:15 AM to 1:00 PM.  We are thankful that Ms. Jimenez is able to increase her hours to give Ms. Roy a hand during the pre-kindergarten hours.

Congratulations to Ms. Corley’s Students, John and Doris, whose question was accepted and answered during their electronic field trip on Monarch Butterflies.  They asked the question, “What will happen to the Monarch migration as a result of Hurricane Ike?”  They were told that the migration would not be interrupted and were given details. As a result, Satori School was mentioned on this national e-field trip.

Welcome Stephanie Thomas as our new Art teacher. She jumped right into the job starting yesterday. Her students were quite enthusiastic. Please look for requests from her for materials to use for her art classes. Also, James Sturrock is returning to teach Spanish later this week.

Hot Lunches from the Kitchen are returning this week.  Those who paid in advance for the hot lunches may pick up where we left off and we will be taking new orders daily. Teachers have a record of the advance orders.  The menu for this week is attached to this newsletter. Parents who need access to a computer are welcome to use the one in the library outside of the office.

Our phone is back to normal so you may call on 409-763-7022 and the internet at satori@satorischool.net is another way to contact me regarding school business.  If you have a new number that you are using during this emergency share it with your teacher.
