5th Annual Sage Canyon Family Science Fair --January 25-29, 2010

We hope you are working on (or have already completed) your Science Fair project! (Please remember that all students submitting a Science Fair project must have an approved project proposal from Ms. Cavallini or Mrs. Asselin.) Please be sure to use the display boards provided by the PTA and available in Ms. Cavallini's room. Have your project ready, and bring it to the MUR before school on the morning of Monday, January 25. Parents should be aware that this would be a good day to plan on arriving early, parking and walking in to help your child deliver their Science Fair project to the MUR. If you need access to an electrical outlet, please contact Laura Eidelson: leidelson@san.rr.com.
During the week of the Science Fair, there will be two "Open House" style Family Science Nights: Tuesday, January 26 and Thursday, January 28. On these nights, families can walk through the Science Fair and look at the students' projects.
Also, please remember to come and pick up your child's project on Friday, January 29th after school. Questions? Please contact Laura Eidelson at leidelson@san.rr.com.
The Science Fair guidelines packets are available for download in the publications section of this website. The Sage Canyon Family Science Fair is non-competitive and open to all students and families.

Walk to School Day

On Wednesday, October 7th, Sage Canyon School will join schools from around the world to celebrate International Walk to School Day. The event will begin at 7:00 a.m. with kids, parents and community leaders walking from the starting location at Carmel Country Road and Derrydown. Walkers will arrive at the Sage Canyon campus at 7:30 a.m. for the annual Dad’s Club Bagel Breakfast, music, contest awards, raffle prizes and fun!

In the U.S., International Walk to School Day includes 5,000 schools from all 50 states. Walkers from the U.S. joined children and adults in 40 countries around the world. Walk to School events work to create safer routes for walking and bicycling and emphasize the importance of issues such as increasing physical activity among children, pedestrian safety, traffic congestion, concern for the environment, gas conservation, and building connections between families, schools and the broader community.

Fond Good-Byes and a Warm Welcome

As we closed the school year last June, we wished fond good-byes to Leandra Kalt who joined the Ocean Air staff as a full-time fourth grade teacher, Lindsay Bullis who relocated to Portland, Oregon, and Janese Swanson who took a position with the US Mint in Washington, D.C.
Over the summer, several changes were made to adjust staffing based on changing enrollment patterns at the various grade levels. Susan Garfein, will now be a member of the second grade team and former fourth grade teacher Michele Chavez will be joining the Kindergarten team as a full time Kindergarten teacher.
In addition, we are welcoming one new addition to the Sage Canyon staff and one returning staff member. Please extend a warm welcome to the new members of the Sage Canyon family!
Shauna Friedemann
Shauna is returning to Sage Canyon after a one-year leave of absence. During her leave last year, Shauna served as a Distinquished Teacher in Residence at Cal State San Marcos teaching future educators. Prior to her leave, Shauna taught at Sage Canyon since the opening in September 2000. Shauna is known for her nuturing and challenging classroom environment and her expertise in Language Arts. She has been an author and trainer for many writing projects at the San Diego County Office of Education. Shauna is thrilled to be back at Sage Canyon and is excited to be teaching a blended 4/5 class this year.
Kelly Hadland
While Kelly is the newest member of the Sage Canyon staff, she is a familiar face to many students and families. Kelly became a part of the Sage Canyon family in the spring of 2008 while completing her student teaching with Sarah Raskin in third grade and Linda Newquist in Kindergarten. She spent the entire 08-09 school year serving as a long-term substitute in fifth grade for Maria Schwab and Michelle Turnball while they were out on extended maternity leaves. Kelly is a graduate of UCSD and is overjoyed to become a contracted teacher at Sage Canyon working with the fifth grade team.
