Our 5th grade teacher, Henry Michalski recently returned from a three week Volunteers For Israel program where he lived and worked at army bases in Israel. He will be sharing a power point slide presentation. The slides depict life on a military base for the volunteers and their interaction with the young defenders of Israel…the IDF.  Henry also visited the small border town of Sderot and has included some images of Sderot in the presentation.  If you have any questions, please contact Beth Kellman at bethkellman@gmail.com or Henry at mdg@pacbell.net.

Planting a tree has represented hope since ancient times.

Phil Blake, for the Napa County Natural Resources Conservation Services, will lead the project. We will be planting CA native plants including willow, coyote bush, CA buckeye, live oak and valley oak at a vineyard/creekside site owned by the Napa Resource Conservation District.

Wear clothes for gardening!!! If the weather is nice, you can bring a picnic to eat after the program concludes. Questions, email Beth Kellman at bethkellman@gmail.com. If parents cannot come, please send your kids and make arrangements for another family to “adopt them” for the day.
