Hello everyone,
I hope your summer is going well
and you are finding time to enjoy.
This message is not easy to share
because we have recently lost an important
member of our Trillium community.
We were all sad when Anne, Chloe and Richard Childress
decided to move out of the area
at the end of this school year.
However, Anne unexpectedly died in her sleep
a few days after they arrived at their new home.
They are with Richard's family,
and a memorial service is scheduled this week in Big Bear.
Trillium will be hosting an event at the school
in memory of Anne next Wednesday from 2:00-5:00 PM.
We invite people to come and share.
* Hospice of Humboldt will have a representative here for support
*"Talking about death with children" information will be available
for anyone who needs it
* A Memory Book will be created for the family, and
* A collage will be made specifically for Chloe.
This has all been very difficult for Chloe,
and Richard has asked everyone to restrain
from sending her condolences.
This allows the family to attend to
Chloe without additional upset.
We will focus our efforts on sending Chloe
loving memories from her time at Trillium.
The memory book will be sent to Richard.
If you have any questions please contact the school: 822-4721.
Or, you can contact Marianne, Michalea, or Rhoni.
Email is preferred: trilliumcharterschool@yahoo.com

Spring!
Hello Trillium Folks.
This school year is starting to feel as though it's flying by!
It's already springtime, and we are making a lot of plans
for the rest of the year.
For now, here are just a few reminders:
This Friday, March 12th:
Lisa will be subbing for Aly.
Sarah's class is going to the Arcata High School Math Fair at 9:50- always fun.
They will attend the math fair from 10:00-10:45, then walk over to swimming
at the community pool.
Aly's class will also be swimming from 11:00-12:00,
then back to school for lunch.
Thank you to all parents who have been driving.
You help is much appreciated.
Next week is HSU spring break so there will be NO SWIMMING.
The students will swim again on Wednesday March 24th.
Next week is also parent conference week,
so it will be early dismissal all week.
Aftercare will begin at 1:10 and will be available until 5:30- as usual.
PLease sign up for a parent conference.
These are the last scheduled conferences for the year,
and always help parents feel more connected to what is going on in the classroom.
Sign-up sheets are posted.
The 3-5 class will be visiting the Humboldt County Science Fair
at HSU next Friday from 11:00-12:00.
10 Trillium projects will be displayed along with projects
from every school in the county.
Look for permission slips in your parent boxes and
driver sign-ups on the classroom door.
We have a spring equinox garden party scheduled for
Sunday March, 21 from 11:00-3:00.
The plan is to make raised beds in the garden area,
revamp the compost,
clean out the greenhouse, prune the bushes,
and hopefully do some planting.
If you have any plants, wood, or other supplies to donate
we will put it to good use.
Mostly, we just need some help, so hopefully you can make it.
Potluck lunch will be at 12:30.
That's about it for now.
We'll keep you posted as new events are scheduled.

Science Night
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.
