PTC Club and Event Happenings:

Fall Book Fair Update

Our fall Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success!

Thank you to all those who purchased books and especially those who donated books to classrooms. Also, a huge thank you to all those who volunteered at the fair.

Book fairs cannot happen without an army of volunteers!

We had sales of just over $6,000 (!) which means we get $3,315 back in Scholastic Dollars, which we use to purchase books from Scholastic. This allowed us to purchase books for the library and the remaining books the teachers picked out for their classrooms. Again, thank you! Your support of the Book Fair made this investment in Terra Linda possible.

Our next Scholastic Book Fair will be January 29 – February 1.

Cedar Mill Taekwondo

It’s not too late to sign up for this introductory class at Cedar Mill Taekwondo!

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).

Questions?
Contact Kelly Olson:  kellyaolson@gmail.com

Passport Club

What country in South America borders every other country but two? Where do kagaroos live? Where was pizza born? Which country measures its success by gross national happiness?
