After a bountiful autumn harvest (benefiting Samaritan House and Second Harvest of Silicon Valley), the Central/Arroyo garden is transitioning to winter. We need your help! Volunteer your family to participate in a hands-on work day. Tasks vary with the season, and no gardening experience is required. Guarantee your spot by registering for the next Living Campus Work Day (Dec. 10) on Each Green Corner’s website via the link above. Thanks!

The Central/Arroyo PTA is collecting grocery gift cards to support our fellow San Carlos School District families who are experiencing food insecurity this holiday season. Gift cards in denominations of $25 are preferred and can be from Safeway or any local grocery store. You can send digital cards to [email protected] addressed to Arroyo School or bring physical cards to the office and leave them with Tracey Olazar. We appreciate your support for our community!

Order from TreeRing via the link above. To create a TreeRing account, go to tr5.treering.com/validate and use the Arroyo passcode: 1014628525232886.

Are you still getting to know the Arroyo/CMS parent community, or do you have years of experience to share? PTA board members will be at Devil’s Canyon Brewing this Friday, Nov. 18, from 5-7 p.m. for the United Against Hate Poetry Slam. We’d love to connect with you at this fun and powerful community event. Look for the table with a green balloon. RSVP via link above.

The SCEF Read-a-thon is our fundraising focus this week. We hope your students are logging lots of reading minutes with the new books they discovered at the Book Fair. Please remember to share your child’s pledge page with your extended family and friends. These donations support both SCEF and the PTA in their mission to enrich our students’ educational experiences.

Our next PTA Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 9 at 8:45 a.m. in the Central/Arroyo school library. See the agenda. Each Green Corner will present on the work being done in the garden and volunteer opportunities. PTA Meeting Dates & Agendas can always be found on our website. We would love to see you!
