YOU ARE ALL INVITED TO OUR NEXT
PTSA ASSOCIATION MEETING 7 PM

After covering PTSA business, we will hear from Pietro Maida.

Sensei Maida teaches a Teen Ki-Aikido class though El Cerrito Recreation Center. In addition to teaching Aikido techniques, his purpose is to provide young people with tools to navigate challenges they may face in Middle School. He addresses how to handle peer pressure and bullying and he teaches how to increase relaxation and how to handle stress.

This will be a good meeting to bring your students to.

General Association Meeting Agenda

Preceding this, is the Band Parents’ meeting in the Band room, at 6 PM.

PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

8th grade English teacher Mr. Vedder wants to celebrate his 8th grade students who make it at least halfway on their reading goals this year, by taking them on a fun and relaxing end-of-the-year field trip. This is a huge undertaking and he cannot make it happen without the help of awesome parent volunteers. He wants as many students as possible on this field trip, so he’ll need around 30 volunteers, who have their WCCUSD volunteer badges. If you do not have one yet, there is an additional WCCUSD Fingerprinting Party this Saturday, see flyer for details.​

​Here’s the link to the sign up sheet if you will be able to volunteer for this. It will be in May, and Mr. Vedder is tentatively planning to take them to Kennedy Grove Park. Before he firms up the details, we’d like to see if there is enough interest in volunteering for this, so please sign up, if you will be able to go.
