Service day last Friday went very well. Our next opportunity will be in November!
Please check with individual class teachers for due dates, assignments and course expectations. Mid-semester will be upon us before we know it.
FYI I will be out and have a substitute this coming Friday and the following Monday and Tuesday. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Trillium has had a partnership with PSU for the last six years. Workshops on social justice and oppression theory have supported high school and middle school curriculum. Soon, we will have small workshops in middle school advising on various topics. This will blend into our Friday rotation schedule (i.e. testing/assessment, service, advising activities, K-12 experiences etc.).
Thanks to everyone who has been involved this year with driving and chaperoning events. We can't do it without you.
Lastly, if you have not paid the activity fee, please see the front desk for details and payment plan. We need you in that way too!

Camping, rotations, and more!
Camping was amazing. The weather!
Any gear can be picked up on Tuesday. I will be working in retreat on Monday and not available to sort through left overs from camping. We had a wonderful time and will debrief in advising about how we can work better with each other, make and keep friendships, and use our core values and trust for each other to support our academic choices back at school.
We are in rotations as well in the second half of advising on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. We are still tinkering with its format. It might be only on Monday and Tuesday this coming week, and that would leave the rest of advising time to work on projects from that "class", PLP choices, read aloud (and essay writing), assessment, and more.
We have another service project planned for the 15th of October. I will keep you posted of where folks are going.
Thanks again to all of the MS families for the campout. I also thank you again for checking with the front desk and turning in activity fees ($150) and all of the paperwork that we have on the website and in hardcopy with Ramona.
More about homework and assignments this week.
