We ask for wisdom to help me understand that the challenges of life are just that. They are not battles. We are not out there to win or lose, only to develop our skills. We ask for wisdom to help us to be proud of what we do. Whatever our hand touches, let us remind ourselves that it was our effort that added to the result, that our goal is not perfection but creativity. We ask for wisdom to help us remind ourselves, that what we take seriously about ourself, also qualifies for a good laugh. We ask for wisdom to remember to be kind to ourselves. Loving companions are one of life’s treats, but they are not responsible for our care. Self-kindness can heal most hurts.

BLESSING May God shield you in every steep place, May Christ steady you on every rough path, May Spirit go with you through every dark pass. Amen. (Ancient Celtic Blessing)

Let’s keep in our prayers the first responders who are fighting the wildfires across our state. Yesterday’s weather is something I have not seen before in San Francisco.

School Update

We are well underway with our Distance Learning program and students are actively engaged with their teachers. It’s wonderful to see them again and hopefully, it will be in-person within a few weeks. Once our county is released to the red tier, schools will be able to resume in-person classes under the hybrid model within two weeks, pending there is not an increase in COVID-19 cases.

Dear All Souls Families,

You can now pay and add credit to your child/children's cafeteria account through SchoolSpeak. Your payment will be processed through PayPal with a 3% convenience fee for all transactions.

Sign-in to your SchoolSpeak account and select "Lunch Order" in the quick links menu on the left. The "Pay" tab will direct you to your payment options. You may pay the cafeteria balance through your existing PayPal account or as a guest using your credit or debit card. You may also add credit to your child/children's cafeteria account. If you wish, you may still make cash or check payments to the school office.

Please note, for the families that have a credit card on file I will no longer be charging your credit card for lunch payments. You are responsible for paying and adding credit to your cafeteria account.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Regards,

Ms. Escobar

We thank you for your patience and understanding during these times.

Below we listed a small FAQ for your families, to help ease any confusion about coming into our store or placing an order!

Are you open? Yes! We are open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 10:00 to 5:00, Thursday (7/9 only!) from 10:00 to 7:00, and Saturday from 10:00 to 4:00. We are closed Sundays and Mondays, any phone messages or emails over the weekend will not be received until that following Tuesday during store hours.

Do you take appointments? No! Just come on in at your earliest convenience.

What are your procedures in-store? Anyone over the age of 12 is required to wear a mask the entire time you are in the store. We can only take 2-3 families in store at a time, if we are at capacity we ask you to wait outside where we have sidewalk markers to practice social distancing. We also request that only 2 people enter our store per family (for example, one student and one adult, or two adults). For families with multiple students, exceptions will be made. We provide hand sanitizer and have been wiping down high-touch areas, as well as dressing rooms, between each customer.

Can my student try items on? If you are comfortable with it, yes! Any tried on items are being quarantined in our back warehouse before being put back onto the sale floor. If you don't feel comfortable having your student try items on, we recommend bringing a set of clothing that currently fits, and we can match it up as close as possible.

Can I return/exchange items? We are handling returns and exchanges on a case-by-case basis. We accept returns 15 days from the original purchase, and exchanges 30 days from the original purchase. We recommend a phone call before you come in to return or exchange, and you must have the following with you:

• Credit/Debit card the purchase was originally made with
• Receipt (including the print-out from the credit card machine)
• All tags/original packaging on your items

Can I place a phone/email order? YES! All orders can be either picked up at our ramp to the left side of the building, or shipped via UPS (additional fees apply). All phone/email orders must be prepaid before pick-up, we will call you to process payment over the phone.

Any other questions or concerns can be called in at (650)-757-5722 or emailed back here at simply7801@gmail.com. We are happy to help with any specific questions or concerns you may have! Thanks so much for shopping with us, and we look forward to seeing you this summer!
