The Weekly Wrap

We know this season can feel like a lot. The calendars are full, the days are long, and still you keep showing up with care, intention, and love. It might not always get acknowledged, but I see you!

Sometimes, it’s easy to forget that the everyday things are the big things. There’s a page I keep by my front door from a book I like, Things Are What You Make of Them by Adam J. Kurtz, and it reminds me of that truth:

The things you take for granted might be major accomplishments for someone else. Paying rent on time is an accomplishment. Getting errands done is an accomplishment. Even just waking up is an accomplishment worth celebrating (possibly with coffee).”

A reminder to honor the effort, the resilience, the heart behind it all. You’re doing great. And what you’re doing matters, whether it feels big or small.

With love and gratitude,

Andrea Ramírez

We’re so proud of Elodie, one of our amazing Coleman students and Green Team group leader, who recently represented our school at the board meeting with a powerful proposal to replace plastic sporks in our cafeteria with a compostable alternative. Her initiative and leadership are a shining example of how our students are making real change toward a more sustainable future. Way to go, Elodie!

This annual, free-admission event brings together every school in the San Rafael City Schools district to celebrate our vibrant community. You can expect a fun-filled day with dancing mascots, marching bands, face painting, delicious food (including pupusas!), games, and more, perfect for all ages.

 

The carnival is a major fundraiser for HeadsUp, the San Rafael Public Education Foundation, supporting enrichment programs across our local schools. Last year, the event raised over $80,000 thanks to the incredible support of families, volunteers, and local businesses.
