Camping Info
Howdy all. Before heading off to Los Angeles to pick up the school's Distinguished School Award, I wanted to post our schedule for next Wenesday and Thursday.
We'll be leaving school on Wednesday morning at 9am. Our initial appointment with the docents is at 9:45, so we'll have time to have a snack and use the restrooms. The remainder of the day is as follows:
9:45 - 12:15 - Programs begin in two groups. Parents may need to help facilitate some activites. We'll find out when we get there.
12:15 - 1 is lunch. Kids and parents will need to bring a bag lunch for this day only.
1:15 - 2:15 Nature scavenger hunt
2:30 - 8 We are on our own at this time to set up camp, play at the beach, etc. Dinner will be picked up at 6 from Pizza One, so we'll probably be eating no later than 6:30. Sheila Hurley has volunteered to pick up the pizza!
8 - 9 is a slide show facilitated by a docent that covers history and nature of the State Park
9 - ? S'mores and such.
10pm - lights out
In the morning, the bugles will blare early. I don't know this, but we'll take it easy in the morning. Jessica Jacobson has volunteered to pick up bagels and schmear for the kids. We'll eat and and then play for a while if time permits.
Docents return at 9am for a groovy art activity. We should wrap up by ten. We have two free hours thereafter to break down the camp site and enjoy the park. We need to be cleared out by noon. Again, parents may pick up their child at the park or at school at this time. Kids can stay on campus with me until 2 to prepare for the evening Open House, however Homework Club is finished after this week.
I will be picking up fresh fruit, S'mores supplies, firewood and drinks on Tuesday. If folks are interested in bring treats as well, they are more than welcome to.
Those who are camping will need the following: a sleeping bag, a tent (if you have one, if not there are plenty to share), a toothbrush, a change of clothes, beach games, sunscreen, etc. Please leave all electronics at home. No Ipods, radios, or video games. There is not a need to bring water toys, as there is not a lifeguard on duty at the beach and we will not be playing in the ocean!
The following folks have volunteered their time and tents:
Athena Wolfe w/ tent for 4
Eriko Yokoyama
Gina Guhin w/ tent for 4
Deborah Collins w/ tent for 3
John Scoppettone w/ tent for 3 or 4
Nevin Hougardy w/ tent for 4
Lisa Pepperdine w/ tent for 3
Greg Horne w/ tent for 2
Yolanda Beaudoin w/ tent for 6
Jenny Zheng w/ tent for 4
Linda Rossi w/ tent for 4
Michael Sambrailo w/ tent for 2
Mr. Hayes w/ tent for 5
Russ Jacobson w/ tent for 4
Richard Seitchick w/ tent for 4
If you have questions, email me sooner than later.

Thanks everyone!
The World War II reports were stunning. The kids did such a good job delivering the information they researched. Their pride in their work was evident. A few students asked that I connect links to sites they used in their reports for folks to enjoy from here.
