Dear Siskiyou School Families,

Thank you for joining us for our Winter Assembly last week! What a treat to be together for such a magical showcase. An extra special thank you to those of you who sponsored the use of the Bowmer Theatre for our community.

If you haven’t already, please consider showing your gratitude with a contribution to the Faculty and Staff Gift Fund today or tomorrow. This holiday bonus means a big difference and is distributed across all staff and faculty at the end of the week.

You can use the link below or donate with cash or check in the office. Additionally, don't forget to sign the holiday cards located in the music room through tomorrow morning. Your generosity during this time makes a meaningful difference for the people who make our school thrive.

With gratitude and warm wishes for a joyful holiday season!

Katherine

We welcome you to stop by the music room in the morning to sign cards for our faculty and staff, contribute to the fund, and enjoy tea, treats, and community connection. Donations may be made in person or online, and all contributions are anonymous. Cards will be available to sign until TOMORROW, Wednesday, December 17 at 1:00 p.m., and the gifts will be presented at the staff holiday gathering. Thank you for helping celebrate the remarkable individuals who nurture and inspire our children all year long!

Our campus opens at 8:10 a.m. Unfortunately, we are not staffed to hold children before that time. Please ensure your children arrive no earlier than 8:10 a.m.

Middle School families, mark your calendars for the first dance of the year on Friday, January 9th! A special group of students has formed the Dance Committee for the upcoming event. The Committee will be responsible for set up on Friday after school and break-down after the dance as well as assigning things to bring to each class.

Please note the following:

• Middle school dances are for Siskiyou School students only.
• All students must sign in with a chaperone upon arrival and present their signed dance form (will be handed out the week of the dance by class teachers).
• Cost is $10 and a food or drink contribution as assigned by class.
• Cell phones, smart watches, and other mobile communication devices must be turned off and turned into chaperones. Phones will be given back at the end of the dance. No cell phone use is allowed during the dance.
• Any calls that need to be made must be made with the school phone and with chaperone permission.
• All Siskiyou School rules apply at dances. This includes rules related to conduct, language, electronics, and our drug/alcohol policy. See the Parent Handbook for details.
• All students are expected to stay until the end of the dance (pick up at 8:00 pm) unless arranged with a class teacher at least by the day before the dance. Dance Committee members will remain until 8:30 pm to help with clean-up afterwards.
• Anyone who leaves early must have parent consent given verbally to a chaperone and let the chaperone know when their ride arrives.
• All students will remain on campus in the designated areas throughout the entire dance. No students are allowed into the offices in Pine Hall (Kristin’s office, Sarah’s office, or the Prop Room).

Thank you and we're looking forward to our first dance of the school year!

Are you a woman in perimenopause or menopause…
who’s always held so much, led so much, carried so much —
and suddenly you’re looking in the mirror thinking,
“I don’t recognize this version of me…
I’m overextended…
I’m putting out fires…
and somehow I’ve hit my capacity.”

Are you a woman who knows it’s time to unplug from the grind —
from the noise, the pace, the tending-to-everyone-else —
so you can plug back into yourself?
Into a true refuel.
Into the space where you can live inside-out again…
authentically, honestly, fully.

Are you a woman who would deeply benefit from
nervous system regulation,
family constellation work,
restorative practices, beauty, nature,
and sitting in circle with women who expand you?

Then The Inhale Retreat is your sanctuary.

A place to exhale the weight you’ve been holding
and inhale what your body, your hormones, your soul
have been quietly asking for:
capacity, clarity, and genuine replenishment.

Join Maraya Brown as she hosts a retreat right here in our back yard. Co-facilitated with Nina Gallway, Susan Schlosser and Shelley Brechtel.

Locals discounts and scholarships available.

If your system is whispering yes…
Apply to The Inhale Retreat.
Limited to 10 women.
