Yosemite Trip Community Closet
|
|
 Is there a pair of hiking boots in the back of your closet? Spare sleeping bag in the garage? Spare warm hats, gloves, warm socks, thermal layers, waterproof rainjackets or rainpants?
Can we borrow your gear?
The 7th grade class will spend five days in Yosemite the week after Thanksgiving, and parents are busy assembling gear. Hiking boots or waterproof athletic shoes, thermal layers, rain jackets, wool socks, hats and gloves and sleeping bags are all needed.
For some families, this gear is not in the budget, and for many families, these items may only be used for this trip, so it seems a waste to purchase everything new.
Do you have any of these items to lend or to donate?
Please send an email to Mary Henry (
[email protected]) if you have items to lend or donate, and let us know which items you will lend and which you will donate.
A brief description and sizes would be helpful.
The sooner we get this information the better, since this coming week is 7th grade "Boot Week" where all 7th graders will be wearing their boots to school to ensure they're broken in by the trip.
As soon as we have a good list, we will contact the 7th grade parents to get the items matched with students who can use them.
Thank you!
Mary Henry and the Grade Level Parents

| It's a Wonderful Nutcracker! |
|
Menlowe Ballet, the premier professional ballet company on the peninsula based in Menlo Park, presents its
encore presentation of the full-length story ballet, It's a Wonderful Nutcracker. Conceived by Artistic Director Michael Lowe, It's a Wonderful Nutcracker is set to the original beloved Tchaikovsky score and updated with inspiration from the 1940's Frank Capra film, "It's a Wonderful Life", bringing the two most heralded holiday classics together on one stage. With all the magic of a traditional Nutcracker, this heartwarming contemporary version is packed full of surprises you won't want to miss! Come see Corte Madera's own Catie Byrne, Ilaria Freccia, Tess Gabrielson, Julia Law and Anna Shelton, and Ormondale's Kendall Byrne and Cleo Shelton!
Performances will be held at the Menlo-Atherton Performing Arts Center on
December 9-11 & 16-18. Tickets are available at www.menloweballet.org.
