Cragmont Auction Party Postponed to May 30
Given the uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus, we have decided to postpone our annual auction party till Saturday, 5/30. While this shift may have an impact on some of our scheduled auction items (such as hosted gatherings and vacation houses), our priority is making sure we’re rolling out our event when the community is ready to party—because it’s going to be GREAT fun! In the meantime, we encourage you to purchase your auction tickets now in a show of support for our school. Your purchase (which is refundable if the event is canceled) demonstrates your commitment to preserving the many programs funded by the money we raise each year—and it signals that you know good food, drink, music, and fun are worth the wait! To get you inspired, a little SOLID GOLD for your viewing pleasure.
Unite with District-Wide Green Teams + Sign the Petition!
Join Green Teams from across the district at the BUSD board meeting this Wednesday 3/11 at 7:15 pm (1231 Addison Street). Come to support a proposal on switching to reusable food ware in Berkeley schools. Show up and tell the board we want to see an end to single use plastics in our schools. It’s better for our children’s health, good for the planet, and saves money. Agenda available here. Can't attend but want to support this important initiative? Sign the PETITION!
