2010-2011 School Council Accomplishments

Raising over $7000 towards the purchase of Math Manipulatives and Technology for the Portables. Securing 2 - $1000 Metro Green Apple grants which went towards the purchase of $1000 of environmental books for the students and $1000 which was used to sponsor our stream of dreams project.  The members of council have spent countless hours cutting and priming the fish for stream project as well, as the hours spent in the painting room and assisting the Bay Area Restoration Council with the placement of the fish on the beautiful mural.  Securing a $1000 Parents Reaching out grant which was used to translated a portion of the school handbook for our ESL parents. We were also lucky enough to be one of only 100 recipients of the Union Gas Community Grant Program which will go toward purchasing math manipulative. We also held successful events for the school community such as the Halloween dance and the Parents dance in April.
