Thank you to Dolores Stratford for this beautiful bulletin she created for our school with each student's hand cut out. Bravo!

Spelling Bee Updates:

Between January 4 and January 7 Camino Pablo 3rd through 5th grade classrooms will be holding classroom spelling bees for the purpose of identifying two students from each classroom to compete in the Camino Pablo Spelling Bee on January 27. Here are two lists (List 1, List 2)* your child can study. However, studying is not required, and should be initiated by your child.

Open 2021/2022 PTA Committee Positions:

It is that time of year where we are looking ahead to the next school year (2021/22) trying to fill PTA Committee Positions that are OPEN. Many of these OPEN positions are community building FUN events, and sadly some of these events are at risk of going away if we do not get help. Many of these positions do not require a large time commitment throughout the year, and if you're looking for ways to get involved and give back to the school, we would love to help you find something that makes sense to your schedule. Part of what makes Camino Pablo so special is the parent involvement and the committees that enrich our children and help our CP teachers and staff. Please see the positions open below. For any questions, please reach out to Lena Cooper or Kimberly Prast.

Sustainability & Climate Change:
By biking or walking to school we can take action to help address climate change. Active travel modes, such as walking and biking, can replace many of the short car trips we make throughout the day, such as those to school. Utilizing modes of active travel can simultaneously provide an opportunity for wellness while reducing oil consumption and carbon dioxide emissions which contribute to climate change. Bicycling has the potential to reduce carbon emissions more than any other alternate mode of travel.

Bike Safety:

We have created this short bike safety presentation and encourage families to review it prior to students traveling to school. This provides an opportunity to check your child's bike gear, review a safe route to school, and discuss bike safety practices.
