The end of the school year is right around the corner and so are the terms of a few PTSA Executive Board positions, in particular PTSA President and Secretary. We encourage all parents to be a part of this great organization. We need lots of helping hands to coordinate, chair and facilitate our many activities, events and programs which are essential to the success of the PTSA and SBHS.

Please consider a position on the Board.

Contact Maya Upton  or Kristi King  about available positions or
if you have any questions!  

As the year draws to a close, a new chapter begins in our AP EnvironmentalScience class. As part of the traditional “Your World Project”, each period takes on a community outreach project. This year, period three has selected the concept of creating an “Edible Campus” on the Santa Barbara High School grounds. By incorporating  healthy, on-campus plants such as citrus trees and the use of lavender as cover crops, we can utilize available land, water, and energy for student use, encouraging both a healthy lifestyle and an active mind. 

Already, we’ve met with Javier Acosta, the head groundskeeper, and selected potential planting sites. We’ve also met with Jennifer Brummett, a local gardening expert, and discussed the different techniques regarding the care and maintenance of such agriculture. 

With limited time left in the school year, we are currently trying to raise money in order to plant, provide care for, and spread awareness of our cause. If you would like to donate or have any questions regarding our project, please email us at sbhsediblecampus@gmail.com  or visit our website at www.thegreenacademy.org/EdibleCampus. 

Thank you for your support!
Sincerely
The Edible Campus Team
Period 3

Did you know there is a brand new, exciting 6-week summer school opportunity through the Santa Barbara Education Foundation?  Your child can take classes required for graduation that would typically take one school year, such as biology, English, freshman seminar, Spanish, and world history.

PE is a 1-semester class that can be taken during the summer.

Other 1-semester courses required for graduation, and offered in summer school, include: American government, economics, and mixed chorus.

At $290 per one-semester class, and $580 for a two-semester class, your child can earn credit during the summer and acquire the flexibility to sign up for more advanced classes or electives next year.  All classes will be held at San Marcos High School.

Some scholarships are available.

This is a great opportunity!
