We Remember: The Seventh Anniversary of the January 9th Debris Flow
Today marks seven years since the Montecito debris flow that tragically claimed 23 lives. To honor their memory, last year's sixth-grade class and I, along with Mrs. Ish, will participate in the Cold Spring Bells Ceremony at 6:20 PM. Additionally, the community is invited to the Raise Our Light event at Montecito Union School at 6:00 PM tonight.
Read-a-thon
Information about our annual Read-a-thon, led by our Parent Club, will be sent home in your child's Friday Folder. This is the perfect opportunity to sign up your child and begin soliciting donations. The Read-a-thon officially starts on Monday, January 20th. Stay tuned for more details about participation and prizes for the most words read.
