Weekly Newsletter October 11, 26

Get your sweet tooth ready! On Wednesday, October 7th, South Bay School is officially launching a delicious cookie fundraiser in partnership with The Krazy Baker.

For every dozen cookies sold, $10 will go directly back to our school, split evenly between our athletics department and our yearbook team. Most importantly, your support helps us carry on a deeply cherished tradition: keeping Ms. B’s dream alive of ensuring every single student receives a free yearbook to celebrate their school memories.

How You Can Participate 

Starting Wednesday, October 7th, look out for ordering details in two places:

Whether you're stocking up on treats for the family or sharing with friends and coworkers, every order helps us support our student-athletes and fund a free yearbook for every child. Thank you for your continued support!

The Children’s Author Festival has been bringing real children’s authors to school, every other year, from all around the country to talk about their books and how to be a writer for 51 years! This year, South Bay Schools’ visiting author is Natasha Wing, who will be at South Bay School on October 15 and give two presentations to the students. She is the author of the best-selling “The Night Before” picture book series.

On Saturday, October 17, you can bring your students to talk to her, and the other 24 authors in the Festival, at the Author Festival Book Sale and Autographing event on Saturday, October 19 from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. at the Humboldt County Library in Eureka (1313  3rd Street.)  Meet all the authors, buy their books and have them signed!

There is also a Children’s Book Illustrator Exhibit at the Morris Graves Museum of Art Youth Gallery, now through October 25. The museum is open Wednesdays through Sundays, noon to 5 p.m, is located at 636 F Street in Eureka. There is a suggested donation of $5 for adults and 17 years and under are free. Bring your student to see the art and illustrations that were created for some of the author’s books in the Author Festival! The exhibit will be open during Arts Alive! on the evening of Saturday, October 3 (6-9:00 p.m.)

Join here. We’d love to have you be part of our PTSA! When families are involved at school, students see that home and school are working together and that their education matters. It’s also a great way to meet other families, connect with staff, and have a voice in our school community.

Our PTSA supports so many of the extras that make school special—from family events and student celebrations to classroom extras, teacher appreciation, and fun activities for our kids.

PTSA meets on the second Tuesday of each month, and everyone is welcome! Our next meeting is Tuesday, October 13.

You don’t have to have a lot of extra time to participate. Every little bit of involvement helps! Come join us and be part of making our school a great place for our kids.

If you haven't already we kindly ask all families to complete the Aeries Data Confirmation process as soon as possible. If you are coming across any issues with completing the data confirmation, don't hesitate to reach out to your school secretaries.

By completing Data Confirmation, you will:

The process is quick, secure, and can be done from any device:

Completing this step not only helps us keep accurate records, but also makes sure your child has uninterrupted access to school resources, schedules, and communication.

We want to make it easier for as many families as possible to enjoy Lunch on the Lawn with their children!

To better coordinate with South Bay School—and especially to support families who have children at both schools—Pine Hill will now hold Lunch on the Lawn once each trimester instead of once a month.

Our next Pine Hill Lunch on the Lawn will be October 23rd.

We hope this schedule gives families with students at both Pine Hill and South Bay more opportunities to be part of these special days. We love having you on campus and look forward to seeing you in October!
