The Accelerated Reader Program through Renaissance Learning
is the tool we use to practice & support reading in our Classrooms.
Students are able to choose to read a book or article that is of interest
to them.  A reading level & goal are set for each student based on where
they are as readers.  When a student completes a reading, they take
a short quiz to monitor comprehension.  Based on their score, students
are given points toward their individual goal.  At the end of each trimester, incentives & celebrations are available for students who meet their goals. Progress is monitored through a diagnostic benchmark, STAR Reading,
taken 3 times a year.

Court Appointed Special Advocates "CASAs" are volunteers advocating for children and youth who have been victims of abuse and neglect in their homes.  This is where CASA comes in!
The CASA volunteer serves as the "eyes & ears" of the judge for children in
foster care & are instrumental in supporting the Juvenile Court in making the best recommendations to improve the lives of children in foster care.  Volunteers ensure that children do not get lost in the overloaded legal system or end up being placed in inappropriate foster homes.

If you think you can commit to 2 hours a week for advocacy, friendship & emotional support to a child or youth in foster care, WE NEED YOU!
 

Fall Volunteer Training is scheduled for mid-October with Zoom and in-person training sessions.
For more specific dates/times & more information or to sign up for the
CASA training, contact ( 707) 565-6375

At our show you are in charge. You get to choose which exhibitors
to “interview” & then compare their offers face-to-face.
We take away the fear of the hard-sell stranger invading your home
after that 1-800 appointment you made, or that list recommendation
web site you clicked on.  You will be able to evaluate your potential
source on your terms.  If the fit is not there, you move on to find just
the right professional somewhere else at the show.  Thousands of attendees have even made our Home Shows an annual experience. They get to know many of our exhibitors & even become casual friends with some.
Then, when ready to proceed on a project, they have greater confidence,
which can ultimately save time & money.  By California State Law,
all of our exhibitors requiring licenses are checked for good
standing with the state licensing board. This gives you another measure of confidence.
