Urgent Update!

For three years now we have been searching for the perfect home for Innovations Academy. Moving year after year has been difficult on both staff and families alike. The time has come for the district to provide an adequate school facility. Tomorrow night, we will be speaking out at the San Diego Unified School Board meeting on this issue. We need as many families and students to come out and show support. This is perhaps the most important event that you could attend this year. We cannot afford to continue to pay high rent for office spaces any more! Please come tomorrow night (Tuesday the 1st), at 5:00 to 4100 Normal street, San Diego, CA 92103. Your presence there will influence the decision. Today the students were busy making signs, so we need them to come and hold them up for all to see their needs.
Also, if you signed up to interview students for Biz Town, we are going to be conducting them starting tomorrow. There is no set time to do this. Whenever you can come would be great. Just remember that we break for lunch at 11:30. It would be great if each volunteer for 5-7 students. Today we will be filling out our job applications.

Biz town prep

Yesterday was so much fun going to the Microsoft store. I could not have done it without the help of all of the parent volunteers. When we got back everyone was so excited that we continued making more power point presentations. We talked about the possibility of presenting our POL's (presentations of learning) on power point. Students will be picking one project and one content area to present to the class. We decided that power point might be a fun way to do that.
Next week we are going to be interviewing for jobs at Biz Town. If you signed up at family night to interview students, you may do it anytime during school hours that are convienent for you. We begin interviews on March 1st through the 3rd. If all goes well, children should know what their jobs are the following week. I am currently going to be collecting money for Biz town. The cost is twenty dollars per child. Thanks for all of your continuing support!
Also, Elyssa has requested that parents call to RSVP for her birthday this Saturday. So far she has not gotten any responses back.
