Fundraiser Dinner Saturday, May 3
Tickets and more information here. Kin & Kitchen x Lido Pizza Club presents: A spaghetti-western 5 course dinner with live music from Annie Rye and the Wildflour String Band in support of Pacific School’s FoodLab program. Your ticket will help us replace a canceled federal grant which allows the school to buy local, regeneratively grown produce from North Coast farms, known as the "Local Food for Schools” program. The Pacific School FoodLab provides nutritious, affordable meals to school kids and community members alike, and has been making Americans healthy since 1984 :) Ticket sales will go directly to this program, which will in turn will pass these dollars to Santa Cruz County farmers. If folks would like to contribute to this fundraiser in other ways, they are welcome to contact Emily, at [email protected]. We are currently looking for event sponsors (local businesses), ingredient donations, and set up and clean up crew volunteers. We also encourage families to donate directly to the FoodLab!

Pacific School Weather Station is Back!
Over the summer the old station failed due to long term salt air corrosion. The new station from Tempest is designed for marine environments. The station data is now live on the following digital sources. The Tempest website for the station is : https://tempestwx.com/station/158159/ . If you click in the area with the current temperature it will reveal more detailed information. See the first two attachments If you are using Weather Underground you can view Davenport weather on a web browser by going to : https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KCADAVEN22. See the third attachment for that screen shot. If you are using mobile apps you can either use the app's map feature to find Davenport to add the station or use it's station ID to lock it in. For iPhone or iPads I suggest PWS Monitor app. It's free and very easy to use. The station ID is KCADAVEN22. 
Please Review Pacific!
One easy, zero-cost way you can support Pacific School is by writing a short review of our TK-6th school and/or Pacific Preschool. Just three minutes of your time makes a big difference! Right now we have very few reviews, which makes it harder for families to find out about our award-winning programs and small, supportive community. Please Review Us Now:
If you share your reviews with [email protected], Elizabeth can also add them to the school website. Thanks so much!!! |
