Pay It Forward during Red Ribbon/National Character Counts Week!!!

B. THANK YOU TO ALL PARENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE SPRINGHILL GARDEN WORKDAYS last weekend! Great progress was made on our Outdoor Classroom. A special thank you to Mrs. Kathy Hemmenway, Mrs. Kim Brast and other volunteers for coordinating this event and your continuing efforts in making the Springhill Garden such a glorious reality!!!

THE SIX PILLARS & PAY IT FORWARD CORNER

CHECK OUT THE SIX PILLARS BANNERS HANGING IN THE CENTRAL COURTYARD!

Springhill School has recently sent a team of eight (four parents and four staff members, including myself) to San Francisco for three days this summer where we were introduced to an impressive, character development framework used nationwide known as CHARACTER COUNTS! It has an excellent track record primarily with schools, but also with sports organizations, businesses, nonprofit institutions, etc. We are eager to share what we learned at this workshop with the Springhill community. As parents, you will have opportunities to learn much more about how we might use CHARACTER COUNTS! as a framework for all that we do at Springhill. Through school communications, parent ed presentations from our PFC and your own children, you will be kept apprised of this endeavor as the school year progresses. CHARACTER COUNTS! is based on the Six Pillars: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship. We are enthusiastic about every aspect of CHARACTER COUNTS! and are looking forward to introducing its components to the student body. Because of the way in which the framework is designed and the flexibility with which it can be implemented, it can serve as an umbrella under which we will continue our PAY IT FORWARD program and our regular SPIRIT WEDNESDAY activities, and, perhaps, can create the opportunity for a number of additional activities. You will be receiving much more news about CHARACTER COUNTS! as the year unfolds, but you may also access the following website for more information: http://charactercounts.org/

Every week we will be including different aspects of our Pay It Forward theme for this year in the Friday Flyer. Character development should be a major component in any well-rounded educational program and it has been for many years at Springhill. Ask your children what their classes are doing for Pay It Forward. Come to Spirit Wednesday, 8:30 AM every Wednesday morning in the main courtyard and find out how we promote character development at Springhill School.

We made a significant change in the Pay It Forward program last year. If you are familiar with how this program was originally designed, you know that all of the "pay it forward" efforts remained anonymous in order to promote the altruistic and selfless nature of the act. Although we will acknowledge all of the acts themselves in the weekly Student Bulletin, at Spirit Wednesday and in the Friday Flyer, we no longer identify the specific students who performed the acts (e.g., "Two 2nd graders had a lemonade sale over the weekend and raised $30 for the school's Coins For a Cure Diabetes Drive.") We are hopeful the enthusiasm for the program will continue to be as strong as it has been the last several years with this change. Thank you.

A. UPCOMING PAY IT FORWARD EVENTS:
1. Monday, October 13: COINS FOR A CURE JUVENILE DIABETES DRIVE BEGINS
2. Walk to Cure Diabetes; Heather Farms, Sunday, 11/22/08, 10:00 AM
3. Light the Night Leukemia Walk; Civic Park, Walnut Creek, Saturday, 10/11, 5:30 PM.

B. PAY IT FORWARD: THANK YOU ALL WHO DONATED TOYS AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES TO THE KIDS OF CHILDREN's HOSPITAL! WELL DONE SPRINGHILL SCHOOL STUDENTS AND SPRINGHILL COMMUNITY!!! WAY TO PAY IT FORWARD!!!


DIFFERENTIATION CORNER

*Differentiated Instruction takes place in all of our classes. Starting this week, we will be profiling a particular teacher's implementation of Differentiated Instruction every week in the Friday Flyer. Don't miss it!!!

In Mr. Anke's 4th grade, students study math facts at their own individual pace with a variety of activities.

*Differentiated Instruction is NOT individualized instruction, but rather the delivery of curriculum to students in a manner that complements their learning style while always challenging them at their ability level.

PFC President's Message

Thank you Kathy Hemmenway, Kim Brast and all the volunteers worked in the garden last weekend. We really appreciate your time and dedication in helping us get this outdoor classroom ready for our children!

David Gerson volunteered to step into the position of Treasurer of Budgeting and Reporting and was voted in at the Executive Board Meeting on Wednesday night. Thank you David, and welcome aboard!

We are currently looking for a VP of Communications for next year. Sadly, Melissa Johnston is resigning from her position as she and family are facing a move out of state. If you are interested in getting involved with the PFC in this capacity, please feel free to give me a call.

I want to send a special thanks to all of the candidates who ran for the Student Body Officers positions. It's great to see that so many kids care about their school and want to get involved to make a difference! The election results will be out this afternoon. Congratulations to all of you!

Mark your calendars for Monday, October 13th! We will be having a Red Ribbon Week Assembly in the MP room for our students between 12:45 - 1:45 PM. We will be hosting Ralph The Great as he presents The Pro Kids Show, a motivational character education program. He uses music, magic, comedy and student participation to present his message of good character qualities and good decision making. Then, following that same evening, he will be hosting a family assembly from 7 - 8 PM. This show is different from the school assembly and is targeted towards families. So bring your whole family and enjoy a night of great entertainment!

Lastly, we are still looking for an Earthquake Preparedness Chair. This position updates all of the emergency backpacks located in each classroom with individual emergency forms, which are turned in during Scorpion Days. This person will also be the Liaison between our school and the Lafayette School District as the District is implementing a new Earthquake Preparedness Program.

LASF Corner

Share Your Love on November 15th

Come share your love for local education at LASF's "Love Lafayette - Love our Schools" Annual Event. This year the event will be held on November 15th at the beautiful Orinda Country Club where you will enjoy a night of casino games, live music and dancing, one-of-a-kind sign-up parties and a fantastic raffle. Watch the mail for a bright yellow envelope - your ticket to Lafayette's Love Fest of the year!


Are You New to Lafayette Schools? Meet LASF!

If your family is attending a Lafayette school for the first time, you are just beginning to enjoy the quality enrichment education brought to your child by LASF, the Lafayette Arts & Science Foundation. This volunteer- and parent- driven education foundation provides curriculum and financial support in the arts, sciences, technology and beyond for Lafayette public school students. You will always know when your child has had LASF at school because that is what they will talk about when you ask, "How was your day? "

How does LASF do it? Every year, each Lafayette school family is asked to make a donation to help cover the cost of an LASF education for each of its school-age children. For new families, donations are requested during the LASF Fall Phonathon, which runs October 19 - 21st. When you receive your call during the Phonathon, please do your part and donate the requested $500 per child. Please also consider donating your time as a volunteer. Any and all contributions are greatly appreciated.

To make a donation, volunteer or learn more about LASF, call the LASF office at 299-1644 or visit the LASF website at www.lasf.org.

LASF Annual Event

Friends and Supporters of LASF,

I have been asked by Lafayette Elementary PTA to be one of the Liaisons for the Annual LASF event this year, commonly known as "Barn Bash" or "Oktoberfest." This year the goal will be again to bring the Lafayette Community together in a festive, party atmosphere to celebrate the contribution LASF has made to the education of our children. The big difference is that there will not be a Live or Silent Auction. Instead, we will have several raffles of varying ticket prices, thereby giving everyone the same opportunity to win a great prize while still supporting LASFs' fundraising goals.

This is where you (or someone you know) can play a role. We are asking some of those most loyal to LASF and their schools to donate wine; three or four, a half case or MORE would be great! We are looking for interesting ones, special ones, OLD ones. All of these wines will be Auctioned off together in either one or two very special "Lots", depending on how many bottles we get. Wouldn't it be great to win enough wine that you don't have to run out at the last minute for every special occasion? How about having a ready made "cellar" at your house?

Mark your calendars! The LASF event will be held on Saturday, November 15th, 2008 at the Orinda Country Club. We would like to begin collecting the wine donations as soon as possible. I have a Representative from each school you can contact or call me directly at (925) 962-1213 or (415) 606-4949 to set up a donation pick-up.

This Week in the Library

Kindergartners are continuing to note the changes that autumn brings. Our books this week were Autumn: Signs of the Season Around North America by Mary Pat Finnegan, which is a nonfiction book about the changes fall brings in different regions of our continent. We then read Leaves by David Ezra Stein. In this short story a young bear cub worries that the trees are dying when he sees the leaves falling. Last week's lesson focused on shapes, using both nonfiction and fiction.

First graders learned facts about many different kinds of seeds and had a chance to study them in detail in Ken Robbin's beautifully illustrated nonfiction book Seeds.

Second graders were reminded of signs that autumn is here in Chris Van Allsburg's book The Stranger. Did the stranger bring autumn or was he himself actually autumn?

Third graders reviewed the purpose and meaning of call numbers last week and then practiced finding books using call numbers. This week third and fourth graders reviewed the searches they had already learned on the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) search stations in previous years and then learned some new ways to search. Over the next two to three weeks each student will complete an OPAC worksheet. This is part of learning how to locate the books they're looking for, even when I'm not available to help them.

Fifth graders had their OPAC lesson last week, so our focus this week was on Banned Book Week. We discussed what a challenge to a book is, what it means to ban a book, some reasons why someone might want to ban a book, and what some of the most challenged and/or banned books of the past ten years have been. Many students were surprised to hear that some very well- known books have been banned in some schools or communities. Harry Potter, Captain Underpants, Bridge to Terabithia, Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories series, the Goosebumps series, A Wrinkle in Time, etc. We also talked about the importance of respecting others' opinions, even when you don't agree with them. As you know, Respect is one of the six pillars in our Character Counts program. We finished up by reading Claude Clement's book Musician from the Darkness, which is set in the days before humans could speak, and brainstormed ways that you could communicate with one another without words.

Don't forget to check out our website at http://www.lafsd.k12.ca.us/people/smattern/index.htm. You can find monthly updates on what's happening at the Springhill Library, an updated library wish list, reviews of new books, and links to many helpful resources on the website, too.

Remember, there are over 100 reasons to read. This week, it's "You'll learn about the world."

Measure E, Q & A

Ballot Measure E, Your Questions Answered (Acalanes Union High School District Facilities Improvement Bond)

Q. As a parent at Springhill Elementary, why should I care?
A. For the parents of fifth graders, for example, Measure E will improve high schools that your children will be attending in 4 short years.

Q. What would Measure E do for our high schools?
A. Measure E will provide necessary funding to renovate, repair, and maintain our local high schools, all of which were built between 1940 and 1961. Infrastructure needs include items such as replacing water and gas mains, updating electrical circuitry and repairing or replacing roofs.

Q. What will happen if Measure E doesn't pass?
A. If Measure E doesn't pass the governing board will look at a number of stop-gap measures. Ultimately, cuts will have to be made, either to classroom programs or facility usage. Either way, the cuts will shortchange students and erode the community's past investment in our schools. The District continues to rank as the highest performing California high school district based on the 2008 Academic Performance Index (API).

Q. Why is the district using bonds to fund the projects?
A. Major facility-related projects typically require a large sum of money up front, making it infeasible to rely on annual operating funds or parcel tax revenue. None of the money raised by Measure E would be used for teachers' salaries.

Q. When would work begin?
A. If Measure E passes, work on the technology component will begin in the spring of 2009. It is anticipated that most of the major facilities projects will begin in 2010, once bids are received and final plans have been approved.

Q. What about funding from the State Lottery?
A. The money received from the State Lottery accounts for only 1.8% of the district's budget and those funds are used for annual operating expenses.

Please be aware that the deadline for registering to vote in this November's election is October 20. For further information or to volunteer, go to www.aboutMeasureE.org.

BULLYING IN OUR SCHOOLS: WHAT PARENTS CAN DO
Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 7:00 - 8:30pm, no fee
Parkmead Library, Parkmead Elementary School, 1920 Magnolia Way, Walnut Creek
For your rsvp, questions and comments: Vera Babor at vbabor@acalanes.k12.ca.us
Speaker: Karen Lingenfelter, Life Issues Training & Education, Certified Anger Management Instructor
Bullying is a serious problem in our schools today and is not just an unpleasant rite of passage for our children. The affects of bullying can be detrimental to a child's self-esteem, social and academic success.
Learn common characteristics of bullies and victims, and how you can support and empower your child to develop bully resistance skills. Also, learn ways to intervene and provide guidance for children that are bullying others.

Thinking Strategies: A Special Evening for Parents
Parents... Please join us for an evening with Thinking Strategies Coach and Expert Dina Macdonald.
Tuesday, October 14, 2008, Stanley Middle School Library, 7:00 - 9:00 PM.
This evening is about what it means to understand. It's about how we use books and language to discover, alongside children, the power of the human intellect. It is about focusing on what matters most in literacy teaching rather than teaching a little of this, a little of that, until we've squandered every opportunity for children to explore ideas in depth. It is about learning from intellectual mentors whose lives provide insight and direction for a nation of young scholars. This evening is about capturing the essence of understanding and bringing it to life in our own and our children's hearts and minds. This evening is about what it means to understand.
Please note: This is a repeat of last April's session. Look for Session 2 coming this winter!
R.S.V.P. to Sheryl Saindon at 927-3500 or ssaindon@lafsd.k12.ca.us no later than October 9 as seating is limited. Thank you to District Parent Education for sponsoring this event.

Speaker: Beth Samuelson, MA & Founder Student Organization Services SOS
Are you going crazy trying to get your child more organized? Does your child seem to have no concept of time? Do you feel that you have to keep track of everything for your child?
