Kenwood School Newsletter

As we begin the month of March on Thursday, I would like to remind all of our families

that our annual “Big Heart” event will take place next Friday, March 9th in the caves at the

Deerfield Ranch Winery in Kenwood. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. and concludes at approxi-

mately 8:00 p.m.

This event, which celebrates our entire community, honors individuals, businesses and

families who have made a positive difference for our school and community. This year’s hon-

orees are: Pat Kerrigan, the morning host of our local radio station (KSRO), business owner

Steve Marshall, and Mike Scheffer and Aspen Mayers, owners of Swede’s Feeds on Highway

12.

Tickets for this wonderful event are priced at $30. Please see the Kenwood Education Foundation website or contact Suzanne in our school office if you would like to purchase tick-ets for this year’s “Big Heart” event. If you are new to our school community, this is a great opportunity to meet other parents and members of our community. We hope you can join us on Friday, March 9th.

THE BOOK FAIR NEEDS YOU!

Kenwood School’s annual Book Fair will take place March 26th through March 29th. Volunteers will be needed for set-up, helping students during the sale, and packing unsold books back into boxes after the sale.

Setting up for the sale involves putting books on display tables on the Friday before the sale (3/23). Volunteering during the sale means helping the students find books, counting their money with them if needed, assisting with book donation labels, and whatever else needs to be done. Right after the book sale ends (after lunch on 3/29), we pack unsold books back into the boxes in which they arrived. Copperfield’s picks them up the next morning.

The volunteer sign-up poster will be hung on the wall just inside the front door of the main building next week. I hope you are able to join us with your partial or full day help. You’ll be glad you did!

Once there was a boy who wanted something to take care of.

Something of his very own. He begged his mother for a puppy.

Until she said YES!The boy loved his puppy. He fed

him and played with him and cuddled him. But soon, the dog

wanted something to take care of--something of his very own. So the

dog gets a pet cat; then the cat gets a pet bird; the bird gets a pet worm; the worm gets a pet flea . . . and on and on it goes as utter

chaos ensues.
