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!

Wednesday, August 12th
As many of you know,
we like to begin the school year with a family gathering
so families can meet one another
and the staff can share information about the upcoming year.
Because we are in the midst of major rennovations,
we have decided to do something a little different this year.
Rather than meet before school begins,
we are having a family potluck and informaiton sharing afternoon
on the first day of school.
Lunch will be at 12:30
and we will be serving school lunches as usual,
but we are inviting parents to join us for a potluck lunch, as well.
We will have paperwork available:
free and reduced lunch applications,
school calendars,
emergency contact updats,
aftercare paperwork,
etc.
PLease join us.
We will be at the school every day getting ready to open
on Monday, August 24th.
Feel free to come by and lend a hand.

August 10th
Can you believe summer is almost over?
We open in two weeks!
There is sooooooo much to do before then,
so we are still trying to recruit help
to pull it all together and make the school look great.
As of this week, we need help with:
* Finishing painting-
girl's bathroom,
kitchen cabinets and trim,
boys bathroom trim,
front hallway.
* Lay floors in Aly's classroom,
magic room, and bathrooms.
* Move furniture and supplies back into classrooms.
* Dump run.
If you can help, please don't wait. We need help tomorrow
and every day until school starts.
The sooner we can get the construction finished the sooner
the teachers can get back in their rooms and get ready to teach!
Thank you all in advance,
especially those of you who have been already working so hard.
This Friday is Arts Arcata, and the 3-5 grade class will be showing their
bird art projects from last spring at the Co-op.
Come on out and support our young artists.
See you there!

June
Hi everyone,
It is so quiet and a little lonely around here
without all your smiling faces.
We are wrapping it up for the year and
already looking forward to next year!
Thanks to everyone who came and made the
End of the Year trip so much fun.
I always enjoy the opportunity to get to know you better,
This year's trip was so relaxing and mellow.
I hope you had as much fun as I did-
now I am left with the great memories and the poison oak.
If you forgot anthing at the camp site I probably have it in the kitchen.
I know I have a pair of boys sneakers, a jacket, and maybe more.
There is also quite a lot of stuff in student and parent cubbies.
Please come get your stuff.
It will not be here next year.
I am mailing out the final billing for aftercare and lunch this week.
Please try to make prompt payments on these accounts.
With the recent budget cuts, we are having to be extremely careful with our finances.
Right now, the aftercare program is barely breaking even because of outstanding balances.
We know that many of you need this service,
but we cannot offer it for free.
In fact, next year, the cost is going up $.75/hr.
We have not raised the rates in 8 years,
and unfortunatley it's now necessary.
If you have a very large bill, please arrange to make payments.
We are very flexible about this.
Just call or email.
Thanks.
If you have know that your child is not going to return in the fall,
please let us know right away.
Enrollment is going to be crucial next year,
and I have people who want those spots if you are leaving us for any reason.
We appreciate it.
The office will be open from 10:00-3:00 through the end of June.
After that, we will check phone messages weekly,
or email every day.
I hope see you out and about this summer.
We will be in touch in August about our
beginning of the year picnic.
Enjoy!

End of year trip
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!
