PTC Club and Event Happenings:
Wish Lists
It’s not too late to gift your teachers!!
Take a peek at our teachers’ Wish lists! Our teachers have compiled great lists of classroom items that would be useful for students. If you’re interested in purchasing an item, please ship it to yourself and send it in with your student or drop it off in the front office.
The holiday season is a great time to get together with a larger group of parents to purchase pricier items!
Passport Club
Great job with passport today! The bell was ringing!
We hope your world traveler will see their name on our bulletin board as a “Frequent Flyer” (all 5 levels complete) or “First Class” (all 5 levels and Special Itinerary).
Get a jump start on next month over the break!

Makerspace: UPDATE
Special thanks to our technology assistant Nicole Jackson, and parent volunteers, Kelly Olson, John Schaeffer, Gavin Redshaw.
The Makerspace is finally up and running!
Mrs. Batsell introduced the area to the staff during a staff meeting last Tuesday and later in the week Terra Linda’s, SALT Lego Robotics team presented their project and demonstrated their robot on the Makerspace’s own Lego robotics field table.
The room has craft supplies as well as STEM learning tools, so children should be able to use the space for everything from expressing their creativity by making things like greeting cards, to programming robots or making videos.
This is an evolving project and we are so excited to be able to bring this resource to your children.
Jog-A-Thon Corporate Sponsorships
If you have not completed your paperwork to receive corporate matching for any 2018 donations to the PTC (Jog-A-Thon or otherwise) please take the time to do that ASAP. It is easy money that helps all our students. Questions? email: vpfundraising@terralindaptc.org
Dining for Dollars
Next Event: Cornell Pizzicato 1/15/19 from 11AM-9PM.
Terra Linda will receive 20% off ALL purchases throughout the entire day–no flyer necessary. Gift cards are also included! The restaurant is VERY small, so call ahead orders for take out or delivery are recommended.
If you are unable to attend that day, you can pre-order gift card purchases through Becky Seppala by emailing your requested amount by 1/10/19. The gift cards will be distributed following the event. They have also offered to include any corporate orders throughout the day purchased at ANY Pizzicato location. If this is something you’re interested in, please contact Becky.
ALSO… Pizzicato will be choosing one of our student’s recipe creations for their “special” pizza that day to honor Terra Linda. Please have your child complete the Budding Chef Recipe Form and send by 1/7/19 if they are interested. The winner will be announced before the event. Any inquiries or email submissions regarding this event may be sent to beckyseppala@gmail.com.
PTC Meeting
Do you have questions about the Health Curriculum?
Plan to attend the PTC meeting on January 8 at 6:30pm when we will provide time to answer questions about Erin’s Law and the four sexual abuse prevention lessons that will be taught between late January and April. You can find the lessons listed by grade level on fightchildabuse.org. The requirement of Erin’s Law is four lessons a year at each grade level, K-12.
Wishing you a fun-filled holiday season!
