This is our third annual Fun Run Fundraiser! By having this kind of fundraiser, we are able to keep 100% of the monies collected to use for the many wonderful programs at our school such as field trips, assemblies, Reflections, the spelling bee, drug awareness and safety programs, teacher appreciation, Dolphins Doing Good, and more. The Fun Run also encourages physical fitness, school spirit, school unity, and most of all FUN! This will be our only fundraiser this year (PTA), so we are hoping to raise pledges of $20,000 -- that is a goal of about $20 per student.
.
Here’s how it works. Each student has been given a yellow Pledge Packet which was handed out after our kick-off assembly. Your child will collect pledges from parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors. Please collect the money at the time of the pledge. Pledge packets (and money) will be due on September 10th. Parents, don’t forget to talk to your employer about matching your donation. Many companies will match non-profit donations made by employees.

Yep it is true, parents beware...Toys R us is coming to the District and is opening tomorrow, August 20th and will be in the space that was occupied by DSW shoes (the store across from the bike shop). All in know is that I am in serious trouble, my kids are going to hound me every time we go to the District…
I talked to the corporate folks for Toys R us and this is going to be a test location, and will be open for the 2010 holiday season and if they are busy they will be looking to put a store in our area since Costco will start building this fall and should be open sometime next year.
Pack your tents and sleeping bags for the 5th Annual Daybreak campout. This year go for an Amazing Race style backpack adventure to compete for prizes. Or just join us for BBQ, rock climbing, kids crafts, and a movie at base camp. Cost is $10 per family, plus an optional dinner ticket.

The campout is being held at Hillside park (just east of the Daybreak Pavilion *Glass House*)this Friday, August 20th @ 6pm to 11am the next morning.

Construction is moving forward – Construction crews will begin utility and roadway work on Mountain View Corridor in early August 2010. Initial construction will be south of 12600 South. See below for specific construction activities.
A small (but growing) collection of shops and restaurants in the heart of present Daybreak, SoDa Row offers convenient services, unexpected treasures, and tasty fare as well as gathering space for the neighborhood. And it all comes steeped in Daybreak’s signature new-vintage vibe. While it has its drawbacks and disappointments, SoDa Row offers a unique experience that no Daybreak resident would want to overlook.

Currently, the services offered at SoDa Row are pretty standard – a hair salon/day spa, and laundromat. While the day spa has been calling my name ever since I discovered it was there (and the prices don’t look too bad), the laundromat has been randomly closed both times I’ve tried to visit. I’m hoping it’s just bad luck. Oh, and there’s the barbershop, too. Rumor is there will soon be a dentist as well as other professional services offered from the big boxy blue office building. I have to admit, I look forward to such a short jaunt to visit a doctor. (Let’s hope they’ll be good doctors!)
While the service selection at SoDa Row may be increasing, the retail offerings are still pretty slim. There is a florist (which probably counts as a service), a new women’s clothing shop called The Red Herring, and the flagship: Oopsie Daisy. All three seem charming but, I’ll admit, have yet to capture meas a regular customer (prices, at least at Oopsie Daisy, just seem too high for my cheapskate bones). You know what I would like to see at SoDa Row? One of those fascinating home décor consignment stores bursting with affordable found treasures, large and small, or a fabric shop would be nice, too. And why not something not so cutsie, like an electronics store or golf shop?
