Movers and Shakers

May is a month where Home Sweet Home is getting BIZNESS accomplished! Heck, it started in March (okay August). Many thanks to our tremendously dedicated families for making all of our program growth and development possible.

Home Sweet Home has a lot on its plate this month of May: Big Friends have Presentation of Learning (POLs) and job interviews, BASE seniors have firewalks and graduation. Child Development interns are planning to attend the Early Childhood legislative day in Sacramento on May 25th. Interviews for HSH Summer 2011 interns are coming up, and we are including HSH almuns on the panel for the first time!

It is important to acknowledge the thought and care that have gone into Teacher Appreciation Week, especially by the PAC Events Committee volunteers lead by Heather Jennings.

Sharisse Huie has agreed to be our AIA Board Parent Representative for 2011-2012! We are grateful for her time and talent.

Thanks to Rebecca Huang for coordinating the Alameda Farmer's Market walk, and Sharisse and Sky for coordinating our Sulphur Creek trip and to all our field trip chaperones and drivers.

With a big shout-out to our Earth Day-inspired April 30th BUILD crew: Anakata, Attias, Brandt, Colla, Conley, Davidson, Doyle, Elias, Fletcher, Hebert, Hondrogen, Mintz, Owens, Palmer, and Speed supported by Cierra and Sky. What got done? Removing the dreaded bars, reconfigure the stage and log cabin, create the new garden space, reinforce the shade structure, and beautify the big garden with pruning, weeding, planting and supporting the irrigation system. We also planted an oak tree! (Okay seedling, but check back in 8 years.) With special thanks to Jacqueline Bruhn (HSH alumni Leo's mom) for her mentorship.
