Dear Bolinas-Stinson Families,
It is hard to believe we are already approaching the end of the school year! We have many important and fun events ahead, so take a minute to check out all the exciting activities we have planned!
CHECK OUT OUR BSUSD ART DISPLAY AT THE STINSON BEACH LIBRARY, THROUGH MAY
Our Art shop specialists have set up a wonderful display of student artwork in the Stinson Beach Library. The library is open only on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and student artwork will be on display through May. Hope you get a chance to visit.
GIVING THROUGH YOUTH, ALL SCHOOL ASSEMBLY, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 2022, 1:30-2:00 PM
I hope you can join us tomorrow for the return of this special event! This year, grades 5th-8th participated in the 8th Annual Giving Through Youth Program. This incredible program is made possible through generous donations from the West Marin Fund.
Each grade was given $1000.00 to donate to a local non-profit organization. Students researched, spoke with representatives, and wrote compelling essays to promote their non-profit organization. The students then voted for one recipient at each grade level. The students who wrote essays for the winning recipients will present the non-profit organization with a check for $1000.00 from the West Marin Fund at our school assembly.
I hope you are able to join us for this ceremony and witness the culmination of this amazing program!
