Canned Food Drive is Underway
This time of year there are many ways to help and care for those less fortunate than we are. The San Francisco Rescue Mission has dropped off a food collection barrel in the office.

The Running Gags Season Finale
Our final cross-country race was yesterday and all of our runners did a great job! It should be noted that Alexander Kiss and Cate Kreutzen each finished third in their races. Way to go Cate, Alexander and all Running Gags!
It was a great cross-country season. The kids really worked hard, got fitter and ran better by the end of the year! It was my pleasure being their coach! They were a great group! Let’s do it again next year.
