Tiger Tale

An important part of our 2024 Santa Night is having an opportunity to give back to our community. During this event, Dewey families donated 50 pairs of pajamas and 121 pairs of socks! Our Kids Only Shoppe raised approximately $2500 which goes directly to help cover costs of the sixth grade Westminster Woods field trip in the spring. Thank you families for making this such a special Dewey tradition. We couldn't do it without you.

San Juan Unified realizes that there are many outstanding employees in service within the district. To recognize classified employees, the district is accepting nominations for the Classified Employees of the Year.

If you know a classified employee who goes above and beyond for San Juan Unified and the surrounding community, you may nominate the employee for consideration. Any San Juan Unified employee or member of the surrounding community may submit a nomination. Access the 2025 Classified of the Year Nomination Form for information about the eligibility requirements, nomination process and more.

All nomination forms must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 20.

The outstanding employees in each category will be announced at the board meeting on Feb. 11. Finalists will be entered into the Sacramento County Classified Employee of the Year program.

As you are traveling this holiday season, please keep in mind that Dewey collects all small toiletries that you may receive at your hotels (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, shower caps, soap, toothpaste, sewing kits, etc.). Another great place to pick up some extra toiletries is your dental office. The free toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss they offer you are great items to donate as well. Please drop off your donations in the office hallway or to Mrs. Ruswinkle in room 9. All items donated will be sent to Mercy Pedalers organization (mercypedalers.com).

Thank you! Mrs. Ruswinkle
