Many of you have inquired about how to help the victims of the Butte County wild fire. The Butte County Office of Education created the Schools Fire Relief Fund to provide a one-stop location where individuals or organizations can provide support directly to schools in Butte County. Donors can either specify a specific district or use (textbooks, clothes, etc.) for the funds or make an open donation.
Donations can be made online at https://www.nvcf.org/fund/butte-county-schools-fire-relief-fund/
From Superintendent John Carroll:
Schools in Marin County will remain open today, Thursday, November 15. We will continue to follow guidance from the Health Department and modify activities as needed. If your child has been having a significant reaction to the poor air conditions and you choose to keep them home, please notify the office as soon as possible.
Mayor Fryday will be joining us tomorrow to talk about his work as an activist mayor. This is part of the speaker series related to the 8th grade Equity and Activism Project. However, all three grades will attend as well as 8th graders from Bolinas Stinson and San Domenico.
Air quality at school has declined rapidly this afternoon as a result of fires north of us in Glenn County. Students should stay inside and staff should leave campus as soon as practical after students are dismissed.
From The Lagunitas School District: There is an active yellow jacket nest on the hillside next to the upper campus parking lot- 6 feet from the curb above the handicapped parking space. Please avoid the area until further notice. Vector control has been called.
Not a surprise but always nice to get a healthy report about the lead test for the school's drinking water. MMWD tested at 4 locations and all came in at safe levels.

Lagunitas Board of Trustees approves the 8th grade Equity and Activism Project field trip to Civil Rights historical sites in Alabama and Georgia. Promises to be a profound learning experience for our students.
Dear Parents,
This week we sent home a pledge envelope with each student. These envelopes also contain your scrip cards. We receive money every month from scrip, if you remember to use these cards each time you shop at United or the Good Earth it is free money for our school.Every envelope needs to be returned with a signature that you have received it.
Please consider pledging if you haven't already. Any amount helps, and every dollar goes right back to our students. Currently, pledge pays for Spanish, electives, and field trips.
Thank you,
LEAP
