Want to play along with the kids?  We are looking for volunteers to offer support and guidance in the Makerspace room during these sessions with the Technology teacher.  Activities in future will involve craft activities as well.  Therefore, volunteers are welcome to develop ideas and participate.  Any questions, please feel free to contact Maria Schaeffer at makerspace@terralindptc.org.

Online shopping for the fair offers an expanded selection of books for all ages.   Online shopping begins on 10/10 and ends 10/23. Any books ordered online can ship to the school for free and we’ll get them to you or you can pay to ship to an address.

NOTE:  The site has a School Wish List, however the books listed are a default list from Scholastic and do not reflect what the school would like.  Please visit the fair at school if you would like to purchase and donate books to classrooms.  Thank you.

Doors open at 6:00 and the movie begins at 6:15.

Help out at Movie Night by popping and serving popcorn from 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm.

This event is sponsored by the PTC.

Running ClubRunning Club

Terra Linda Running Club is off and running this year!  The first day of running our students ran 89.5 miles and finished September with 839.75 miles!!  This is like running to Sequoia National Park!

What is Running Club?
Terra Linda Running Club is PTC sponsored and volunteer organized.  Every student is a member even though participation is optional.  TLRC takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays during lunch recess.  We have a group of committed volunteers that keep track of laps, hand out prizes, and cheer on runners!

Can my child run extra?
YES!  This year we are encouraging every student to track the laps they run during P.E., brain breaks with their teacher, and laps during other recesses.  We are also going to count miles from any race that students do outside of school!

We aren’t going to track a few things like fitbit counters, sports practice laps, or hikes on the weekends.  We really want to encourage kids to choose to run on OUR track and not get distracted with too many other activities.

Prizes?!
We have a reward system for every runner!  When students complete their first mile they are awarded a wristband.  They then receive a chain and a token at 5k (3 miles) and tokens at other milestones!  We also give out a special token once a month to every participant.  Look for pumpkins in October!  And for our kids that really go the distance we have a ribbon at a Half Marathon (13 miles) and a medal at a Marathon (26 miles).

New volunteers to Terra Linda

Thank you to those that have signed up to become volunteers!

New volunteer applications are still being processed by the district.  We are just now starting to see new volunteers added to Terra Linda who applied at the end of August.  If you completed the application, know that this time of the year is the busiest for the District and it may take a few more days to hear back.

Please ensure you have signed up in My Volunteer Page to volunteer in your child’s classroom as a classroom volunteer, party helper, or field trip helper depending on your interests.  This will help the classroom representative, and party parent know who is interested in helping in the classroom.

Information will be sent to those who have signed up for the Classroom Representative and Party Parent positions by the end of the weekend.  They will work with the teacher and then will reach out to those who have signed up to volunteer in the classroom with details about any classroom volunteer opportunities and to request party help.

Student Directory

The online student directory will be sent out to parents in the coming weeks.  This will be a password protected link that only Terra Linda parents will have access to.

If you would like to opt out of sharing any part of your personal information, please submit this form by Friday, 9/14.
