Greening day Saturday Feb 11

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

join us on Saturday Feb 11 2012, 10am till 3pm-ish, as we lay wood paving in the outdoor classroom behind the bungalow. we’ll till the ground, dig a little, lay landscaping cloth and sand, de-bark the redwood slices, and then arrange them as we please.

there will also be some general schoolyard grooming and playing happening, so all ages and talents are welcome, the more the merrier!

as a courtesy to our neighbours, we’d like to mention that we’ll be using a tiller, most likely between 10am and 12pm. it shouldn’t be nearly as loud or long as the chainsaw or powerwasher! we appreciate your patience during our building phase.

love,

the green schoolyard committee

The Winter Peace Assembly was a huge success

Friday, December 16th, 2011

The Winter Peace Assembly was a huge success. The children were stellar—from Charlie Brown to Madonna. And the turn out was spectacular. We sure know how to pack the house.

Thanks to all the staff,  volunteers and of course the children who worked so hard to make last night a memorable event. The themes were really thoughtful and the trains and trees and other visuals really well executed.

Thanks to Heather and Libby for making the Read-a-thon a great success. And thanks to Sarah and her volunteers for running the Book Fair. We can’t grow successful readers without books.

Thanks to Betty for working with me to get the sweatshirts ready to sell last night. They turned out great. Kestler was so excited he slept in his last night. Many parents were interested in adult sizes so let’s buy up the youth inventory so we’ll have cash to order more in the new year.  Thanks to Michelangelo for the great logo. They truly highlight our pride.

And a final thanks to Amanda, Lisa and Jasmine for hosting a winter camp to help working families and those who just need time to get ready for the holidays. I thought Kestler would want a change of scenery but he loves the comfort of our community. I couldn’t ask for a better holiday gift.

Good cheer to all.

Andrea

Holiday Design Bazaar: November 19th, 2011• noon-6pm

Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s here! The Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy Holiday Design Bazaar is SATURDAY, November 19, 2011, noon-6pm.

Join us at Harvey Milk for some excellent and unique gift ideas by local artisans and designers. You’ll find something for every budget and in a wide range of styles, AND you’ll be benefiting the arts programs at our school while you shop!

WHAT IT IS: Local artists and designers sell their wares and donate 25% of their sales for the day. (We will also have a ‘Harvey Milk’s Own’ table, with Spike’s Coffee, HMCRA t-shirts, and more)

PLUS: a booth on the value of arts education, DJs throughout the day, silent art auction, live drawing/sketch artists, activities for the kids (face painting, art projects, etc.), childcare, and yummy food!

WHY: The proceeds of the bazaar will go towards our developing visual and performing arts program. This event was created last year to provide Arts Education in every classroom. This year, a Visual Artist will provide 10 art classes to all 11 classrooms through SFArtsEd Artist in Residence program starting in January (http://sfartsed.squarespace.com/artists-in-residence/). Our dream is to raise enough money to not only fund our artist in residence, but also to bring back Performing Arts Workshop for creative movement and capoiera classes in the Spring.

Confirmed vendors include:
