Tomorrow is our annual Science Night and Open House.
The students have been working so hard to get ready for this event.
The K-2 students have been doing scientific explorations
and will have displays and activities to share.
The 3-5 students have been doing individual and small group projects
on topics of their interest. Some were experiments and others were research projects.
All students have created a display and will be available to present their information
answer your questions.
We are asking parents to please bring finger foods to share.
The school will provide tea, coffee and juice.
This is also our open house for visiting families looking at schools for next fall,
and will begin at 6:30.
Next week will begin our PE unit on swimming.
The students will be grouped by their ability on the first day
and there will be groups for swimmers at every level.
If you have not paid your $20.00 swim fee yet, please bring it in this week.
The students will swim on Wednesdays and Fridays from 11:00-12:00.
Permission slips and information sheets are in your parent boxes.
We will need parent drivers and at least one dad to help in the boys locker room.
The Arcata Pool is very strict about their policy- no women in the men's locker room!
Please let us know if you can help.
We are planning a Spring Equinox Garden Party at Trillium on Sunday March 21st.
We're planning to make new garden beds, weed, prune, and plant.
Look for volunteer sign up sheets in a few weeks.
Donations of wood, plants, herbs and your time are needed to make this a success.
Plus, it will be fun!
That's all for now.
We hope to see your family at Science Night.

Tuesday Sept. 22
Happy first day of Fall!
We could not ask for better weather as the seasons change!
There is a lot going on at Trillium this fall,
so I wanted to make sure you can put events on your calendar.
Here are the late September update:
Tonight- Tuesday, Sept. 22nd:
K-2 parent meeting.
Sorry for the confusion, but there was no Monday the 22nd as originally distributed.
It is at 5:00, and childcare is available-
but please pay the aide directly for childcare,
it is not part of aftercare.
Sept.23-25:
3-5 class is leaving for Wolf Creek Outdoor Education Camp tomorrow!
This is always one of the highlights of their year and
brings the class community together.
Make sure to check your student's packing list
for supplies, sign those permission slips,
and, please give Aly your $10.00 camping fee.
Sept. 28:
Next Monday, Dr. Hudson is subbing for Aly.
The students always enjoy his company and his story-telling.
Also, Monday evening is our first Steering Committee meeting
at 5:30. All parents are welcome to attend these meetings.
Committee members-information packets will be in your boxes tomorrow.
Please look it over before the meeting.
Oct. 2:
Next Friday, the entire school is going to the pumpkin patch!
Please sign and return permission slips in the kitchen-
they will be in your parent boxes this week.
We will need drivers for this trip,
so look for sign-up sheets near the parent mailboxes.
We will leave Trillium at 9:45, and be at the patch from 10:00-11:00,
then return to school. Every student will be able to pick out a pumpkin.
Oct. 9:
The K-2 class is also going to Agate beach to go tide pooling.
Parent drivers will be needed.
Looking ahead:
Oct. 12-16 will be minimum days.
Parent conferences will be held in the afternoons.
It seems early for conferences, but it is the 9th week of school!
These conferences are a great chance
to hear the individual details of your child's school experience.
Oct. 23:
Author Festival at Trillium
This year our visiting author is Ann Whitford Paul.
Her books will be for sale at Trillium or by order beginning Oct. 12,
and there will be a book signing event at the Humboldt County Library on Oct. 24th.
Ann will be reading her books to our students on Friday the 23,
followed by a potluck lunch at the school.
Families are invited to join us.
Oct 30:
Halloween Carnival
More info. to come.
For free or reduced lunch students:
Carry-over eligibility for free or reduced lunchfrom last school year
will end on October 1st.
if you have not filled out a new application, your student will
automatically revert to full-price status.
There are currents applications near the K-2 parent cubbies
or in the office.
Fieldtrip drivers-we appreciate you taking the time
to make travel possible.
Please be sure that a copy of your current car insurance
is on file in the office. Thanks!
The aftercare staff would like to thank Shelley & Stephanie
for donating tea to the kitchen.
The 3-5 class would like to thank everyone who made their
bake sale a success- the bakers, eaters, and coffee-drinkers all helped
raise $350 for the Wolf Creek camp out.
Thank you!
Look in your parent boxes for our fall bulb sale fundraiser paperwork.
Last year, we raised $1200 from these sales.
This year's sales will go directly to pay for swimming lessons
at the Arcata Pool. We usually go for eight sessions as a PE unit
in February or March, and
we need $800 to make this happen.
If we exceed our needs for swimming,
we will use the funds to offset the costs of future fieldtrips.
Of course, fundraising is not for everyone.
You can always make a direct
donation to the student fund, if your prefer.
Thanks for your help!
