UpcomingEvents: January 2012 Archives

Stop by the Edna Coffee Cart, Friday, January 27

Our Coffee Cart will once again be open for business this Friday, from 8:15 to 9 a.m., in front of the office. Warm-up with a cup of freshly brewed coffee while you catch up with friends and fellow members of the Edna community. See you there!

Get in the Game: Family Bingo Night is THIS Saturday!

Turn off the TV, switch off your phone and head to the multi-purpose room for some good old-fashioned fun! Sponsored by our Site Council, Edna's Family Bingo Night is always a crowd pleaser. All proceeds from the event will go toward supplies for our school. Buy a single Bingo card for $5 or a set of five cards for $20. All Bingo winners will take home some nifty prizes.

To fuel the fun and help fund their end of year expenses, fifth grade students will sell pizza and other snacks. Doors open at 5 p.m. for dinner. 

Help Us Provide Lunch for Homeless Children in Marin

We're back! Starting on Wednesday, February 8, we will once again provide lunch for the children in Homeward Bound's Family Emergency Center. Homeward Bound of Marin is the main provider of shelter and support services for homeless families and individuals in our county. During this monthly team effort, Edna kids and parents bring components of the lunches to our multi-purpose room for an "assembly-line party." Please contact Lisa Barnes at Lisa_Barnes@yahoo.com if you'd like to help!

Don't Miss the Fun: Family Bingo Night, Saturday, January 28

Join us in the multi-purpose room at 5:30 p.m. for Edna's Family Bingo Night sponsored by the Site Council!  All Bingo proceeds will go towards supplies for our school.  To fuel the fun and help fund their end of year expenses, fifth grade students will sell pizza and other snacks. Buy a single card for $5 or a set of five cards for $20. All Bingo! winners will take home some nifty prizes!

Get the 411 on Edna's Bully Prevention Program TONIGHT

Come to the multi-purpose room from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. to learn about Edna's bully prevention program. Already used within the Mill Valley School District and across the country, this program is designed to protect our children from bullying and aggressive social behavior. The presentation will outline the bully prevention game plan and give examples of the success the Mill Valley Bully Prevention Solutions Team has already experienced. Edna Maguire school counselor Jason Mountsier, Principal Lisa Zimmer and teachers will explain the program and talk about why they believe it is a powerful and effective method of controlling bullying. This is an ADULT ONLY event. Please leave your children at home!

January 11 Homeward Bound Meals Cancelled

Once a month, we create lunches for Homeward Bound of Marin, the main provider of shelter and support services for homeless families and individuals in our county. We have an "assembly line party" in the multi-purpose room on Wednesday, right after school (1:45 p.m.) where we put together lunches for homeless children. Kids and parents are welcome to help. Our next "party" is February 8--hope to see you there! If you'd like to help organize Homeward Bound meals, please contact Kit Harris @ kitharris57@gmail.com.
