So, just a last minute reminders before
we leave tomorrow for Pamplin Grove.
In case you need directions:
Take 101 south
3 miles south of Fortuna,
turn left on rt. 36 toward Bridgeville.
Go 12 miles east.
The grove is on the right and is marked with just a small
forest service sign.
If you get to the big ranger station at Swimmers Delight you passed it.
There is a gate that will be open while we are all arriving,
but closed the rest of the time.
It will be unlocked during the day.
Our first stop on the way down is at Chapman's Rock & Mineral Museum.
We will be there at 10:30 and stay for sack lunch.
That is 2 miles past the turn to the 36 on your right off the 101.
If you are meeting us at camp- we will be there after 12:00 noon check-in.
Tuesday night's dinner is a potuck BBQ.
Please bring food to share.
We have food for all other meals,
and are asking for a $10.00 kitchen contribution from each camper.
Also, remember to pack plates, bowls, and utensils for your family.
I just camped at Richardson Grove last weekend,
and the mosquitos are out!
Pack accordingly.
Copies of the directions will also be posted at Trillium.
See you there!

May Day
Hi everyone.
Don't forget about our exciting fundraiser happening tomorrow night!
This is the biggest event Trillium has hosted in years
thanks to our hard-working fundraising committee.
It's at the D St. Community Center from 5-10 this Saturday.
Please come out and support the event,
either as a patron enjoying the food, reggae music, and stimulating company,
or you can volunteer to work at the event in exchange for your entry fee.
This fundraiser was planned to raise money for
much-needed building improvements.
Of course, time is often short, so if you cannot attend the benefit
you can always make a private donation to the
fundraising committee, which helps pay for fieldtrips, special supplies,
and other areas that our budget cannot afford.
Also, the 3-5 grade class has an afternoon fieldtrip next Wednesday
to the Samoa recycling facility for a tour and a paper making project.
We will leave right after lunch and return by 2:45.
We need parents to drive and chaperone this trip.
Please sign up on the classroom door.
Next Friday is Arts Arcata,
and our students are having an art show at Kyana Taillon's studio.
More information will be distributed next week.
Please check your parent boxes for daily updates.
There are only six weeks left of this school year
and we are busy!
Here is a preview:
May 15th: 3-5 graders to Trinidad Marine Lab
June 4th: Graduation & student award ceremony
June 8th: School clean-up & Water Day
June 9th-11th: End of the year trip to Pamplin Grove

Tuesday March 31
Happy Spring Everyone!
Today is Cesar Chavez Day, and Aly's students shared power point
presentations about his life and how he made a difference.
Ask your kids about their projects!
Please sign up for parent conferences next week.
Every day will be early release at 1:10.
These are the last conferences scheduled for this year,
so please take advantage of the time the teachers have set aside
to meet one on one with each family.
3-5 students will take part in their conference.
April 13--17 is Spring Break.
We will be closed that week.
There are some great field trips and presentations scheduled in April.
These are the dates for your calendar:
Monday April 6th: K-2 in-class presentation "Where does our garbage go?"
Wednesday April 8th: K-2 in-class presentation "Thank you trees".
These are both facilitated by the the Arcata Recycling Center's educational outreach.
Monday April 20th: K-2 trip to Samoa Recycling Plant for a paper making workshop and tour of the facility
This is where all of Arcata's recycling goes.
We will need parent drivers for this trip after lunch.
The 3-5 students will visit the recycling plant in May.
Wednesday April 22nd: 3-5 trip to HSU Natural History Museum
The bus will leave Trillium at 10:45.
Wednesday April 29th: K-2 trip to HSU Natural HIstory Museum
The bus will leave Trillium at 9:45.
STAR testing is coming right up.
We will do the testing at the end of April and beginning of May.
For those of you who are new to Trillium,
PLease be assured that we make this as low-stress as possible.
You can help your students by
making sure they get good sleep,
eat breakfast, and telling them to just try their best.
That's all we ever ask.
Details of the STAR test schedule will be in parent boxes soon.
Our fundraising committee is hard at work organizing a benefit concert and raffle
scheduled for the first weekend of May.
They could always use more help making phone calls,
soliciting raffle donations, and planning all the small details
that will make this a successful event.
We are hoping to raise enough money to make some large facility improvements.
Please talk to Neeve, Ciara or Suzanne to find out how you can help.
Or, come to the school on Fridays at 3:00.
They are meeting weekly.
Looking ahead: We are planning a Trillium student Art Show for Arts Arcata in May.
We will keep you posted with details.
Also, our end of the year trip is coming soon.
We always end the school year with an all-school, family camp out.
We have already booked Pamplin Grove for June 9-11.
We had such a great time there we're going back!
Every student will need an adult chaperone that is not a staff member,
so please put this on your calendars.
It is always so much fun for everyone- just ask returning families if you're skeptical.
We have openings in all grades for next fall.
PLease spread the word.
The students are gardening every week during buddies- Thursday afternoons.
We need garden donations- plant starts, mulch, amendments, and tools are on our wish list.
Also, parents are invited to join us during that time.
That's all for now.
Thanks for sharing your kids with us!

Monday's Mistake
There was a mistake on the earlier blog.
The 3-5 trip to the Arcata Math Fair
is on Friday March 13th- not February 13th.
I guess we have plenty of time to get parent drivers.
Sorry about that.

Reminders for this week:
Monday at 5:30: Steering Committee Meeting
This month's meeting will include updates about the budget,
upcoming STAR testing, and fundraising.
We will also review our Single Plan for Studnt Achievement.
Everyone is welcome to attend these meetings.
Wednesday and Thursday: School Pictures
Wed: K-2 pictures
Thurs: 3-5 pictures
We will also take class picutres on these days.
Please send your order form and payment on picture day.
Pictures will be back the week of Feb. 23-27,
and we will also do retakes if needed.
Friday at 9:30: 3-5 class is going to the Arcata High Math Fair
We need signed permission slips and parent drivers.
PLease sign up if you can drive.
Next week is Presidents Week.
School is closed.
I wanted to remind everyone that lunches are ordered
every morning at 9:30.
If your child is coming to school late but needs to order lunch,
please call ahead.
Snack does not need to be ordered in advance,
but we cannot guarantee your child can order lunch after 9:30.
Thanks.
Science Fair is coming up soon.
Trillium's fair is on March 3rd,
and the winning projects will go to the county fair the next day.
All students should be well underway with their experiments or research
working on their backboards.
Remember that everything needs to be in the logbook,
including research, trials, graphs, observations, and a bibliography.
Every time your student even thinks about their project, they should log it.
At the county science fair, the majority of scoring is based on the logbook,
and the backboard is secondary.
The backboard is just a visual a summary of the project.
If you need any help with this, Aly and Marianne are available.
