ABOUT THE GARDEN
In the garden at Malcolm X Elementary School, it isn’t only the world of science that opens up to young children. Yes, children learn about science in the garden, but isn’t it all connected? The cycle of life, where our food comes from, working together, mathematical concepts, artistic expression, language arts, ethnicity and culture, history and economics …the list continues as does our creativity.

Spotlight: Cal Rotaract at Alliance for Smiles Gala
A Message of Thanks from Alliance for Smiles!
On Sat. 3/14, Rotaractors spent a glitzy evening helping out at the Alliance for Smiles annual fundraising gala. This fancy event was held on the top floor of the Bank of America building in San Francisco–one of the tallest buildings in SF! Needless to say, the view from the top was absolutely stunning.
At this event, Rotaractors worked the silent and live auction, raffle tickets, and greeting. Everyone had a fabulous time!
Anita Stangl, Chief Executive Officer of Alliance for Smiles, sent us a very warm message of thanks — and we’re sharing it with you below:
I just want to thank you so much for coming with your fellow Rotaracters to help with our event. Your presence made a huge difference in our ability to successfully process the bids and make the evening flow smoothly. That means a lot to the success of the event. We thank you so much. You are a lovely group of young soon to be professionals. I feel honored to know and work with you. We will be sending you a small donation for your projects as a small way of saying thank you.
-Anita Stangl
Pictures from the event are now posted! Please be sure to check them out!
Thanks again, Cal Rotaract! You’re awesome!

MAR. 19: Polio Plus Committee Meeting, 251 Dwinelle
Hi all!
The next PolioPlus committee meeting is
THIS THURSDAY, MARCH 19, from 7-8 PM in 251 DWINELLE.
We will be explaining each task to be completed and confirming sign-ups for the upcoming Purple Pinkie Week and the ongoing texting initiative. Also, we will be going over how to make classroom announcements and the art of classroom chalking–please come!

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pKyAjVR0Xo2awHCTH5P7pbg&hl=en
PURPLE PINKIE WEEK IS APRIL 6 – 10, THE WEEK AFTER THE FIRST WEEK BACK FROM SPRING BREAK.
This means that we have ONLY ONE SCHOOL WEEK left to prepare–PLEASE come to this meeting if you wish to be involved! PolioPlus’s $200 Million Challenge is a huge undertaking, and we cannot accomplish anything alone!
Less than ten Rotaract members came to the last meeting–I expect to see more of you at this meeting (251 Dwinelle holds 30 people–imagine what we could accomplish with a room full of that many people!), given how many of you are interested.
If you cannot make it, please e-mail us at polioplus@calrotaract.org and let us know, and try to spread the word about PolioPlus both by word of mouth and the following chalking message:
“END POLIO NOW!
Text “polio” to 90999
to make a one-time $5

& Bill and Melinda Gates

Challenge!
