Operation Christmas Child -Goal is 100 boxes!

Every year our students talk about hunger and basic needs awareness. Our students collect basic needs items such as socks, shoes, clothing, toys, educational supplies, and etc. for a child in the same age group as themselves. They sort all the items during a “Packing Party” and pack enough to fill a shoebox for their international friends overseas.

I do understand that we have Covid 19 and we do want to offer another choice. Please let us know if you do build a box online by taking a picture of the screen with your child. We have a goal of 50 boxes. Covid 19 contributed in making the need bigger this year. Please help if you can.

If you would like to contribute items to our school so our students can build the boxes that is also an option. Toys must be able to fit inside a shoebox. We need all items by November 18, 2020. Our packing party will be November 20, 2020.

Report cards and Parent Teacher Conferences

We will start passing out report cards starting Thursday, November 5, 2020. Parents will have an opportunity to meet with their child’s teacher on Friday, November 6, 2020 via Zoom. All the conferences have been scheduled and the zoom links will be sent shortly.

Please note that we will be closed for regular school on Friday, November 6, 2020.

We have some great information for parents. Report cards only inform parents of what teachers have observed. Therefore, we need parent feedback for the report cards on what has been observed at home so we can fully have an assessment of our student’s progress. We work in partnership with our parents and encourage parent participation. If you are not able to make it on this day, please let us know so we can schedule an alternate meeting.

Kids Helping Kids

Every summer our students chose an organization to help that supports children. This summer we chose the “Feed the Kiddos Organization” (Feedthekiddos.org) through the Second Harvest Food Bank  because they feed children in the summer months when schools are closed. Our students raised $150 for the Second Harvest Food Bank.

We wanted to share the coverage this week for Merryhill School’s donation in the Mercury News: https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/09/24/milpitas-community-briefs-for-the-week-of-sept-25/.
