A Note from Mrs. Kidder and Mrs Larson

Dear Dunham Families,

Happy Sunday! Although it was hot this week, we still had plenty of fun! We are less than one month away from the end of the first trimester. Time sure is flying! This week, I will be on trail with the 5th and 6th grade classes in Yosemite! We will hike, explore, and enjoy all the beauty Yosemite offers. We will be back Friday afternoon tired and happy, with many stories to tell!. Since I will not be here this week, there will not be a code word. Below is everything you need to be prepared for the week!

Running Club: We need volunteers! Running Club is the most popular club on campus, and we need all the help we can get! We are currently in need of one or two parents to help Ms. Vella on Monday afternoons. If you can join the fun, please reach out to Ms. Vella at kvella@dunhamsd.k12.ca.us.

Flag Football: There will be no flag football practice this week. We will pick up next Tuesday with our final practice before our first game Thursday! Game schedule below!

Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue

Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue is collecting acorns for the seven bears at their Petaluma location in preparation for winter. If you have acorns around your home, please bring them to Mrs. Bengs in the Community Room at morning breakfast. She will deliver them to our friends over at Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue. Thank you! This will be the last week of collection. Bring those acorns!
