Dear Panther Families,

Our Price walk for NAMI was a huge success, raising over $12,000 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. We want to thank Stacey Bibo who started the Price Walk for NAMI at our school four years ago. Also, thank you to our PE staff who came to work last Friday at 7:00 am to set up all 1,000+ bags in a circle on our field. Thank you, too, to all of the staff, parents, and Board members who came out to encourage our students.

On Thursday night, parents came to the Rupture to Repair presentation given by Lisa Rothman. She offered practical strategies for preventing and repairing conflicts with children. It was very well received and we are hoping to have her do another session some time in the Spring.

It was a sea of pink around campus today in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Even our Panthers participated!

Thank you, as always, for your support and please enjoy your weekend,

Your Admin Team

Price is a fun place to be on Halloween! Students, teachers and staff all dress up to celebrate the occasion. A celebratory rally will also take place. To ensure we all have a fun time, please have your student adhere to the costume rules.

Halloween Costumes:

* Make-up or face-paint is permitted

*Regular school rules regarding the dress code must be followed (ie, clothing must be free of profanity and may not advocate the use of drugs, tobacco, alcohol, or gange affiliation.)

* Masks may only be worn during the parade.

* Costumes may not be violent or suggestive

* Costumes may not have props or accessories that could be used as weapons (ie, water pistols, fake knives, or swords.)

* Students must show respect for others by not choosing costumes that are insensitive and/or offensive to the diverse backgrounds represented by others at our school.

Measure BB is the continuation (with no changes) of Measure H, a parcel tax of $94.24 per-parcel/year approved by Cambrian School District voters in June 2018, which supports Transitional Kindergarten through eighth grade students by attracting and retaining quality teachers, continuing core programs in math, science, engineering, technology, reading, music and the arts while maintaining class sizes and providing physical education programs that promote student health and fitness.

Proceeds from Measure BB may be used to:

• Attract and retain highly qualified teachers and support staff who specialize in technology

• Continue funding for advanced and core programs in math, science, engineering and technology

• Support funding for advanced and core programs in reading, music and the arts

• Maintain manageable class sizes

• Provide ongoing training and skills development for teachers and staff

• Continue funding for physical education programs that promote student health and fitness

Taxpayer Protections:

• All Measure BB funds stay local to support CSD instructional programs

• The State cannot take Measure BB funding away.

• No funds are allowed for administrators' salaries or pensions.

• Mandatory annual audits ensure the funds are used as promised.

• An exemption from the tax is available for senior property owners 65 years and older.
