Pirates of Penzance -- Mon 5/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When: 7:30 pm Where: MP Room Tickets: Free, but reserve them here: https://spreadsheets1.google.com/ccc?key=tTAXdSpGUufBAu6DQhcfF9g&hl=en One of the most popular operas ever written, this swashbuckling classic tells the tale of the pirate apprentice Frederic, who has a few surprises in store as he turns 21! Featuring tender-hearted pirates, bumbling policemen, an eccentric Major General and beautiful young maidens who wouldn't dream of marrying anybody who isn't rich, all contributing to one of the most uproarious operettas in the history of musical theatre... It's Gilbert at his witty best, with some of Sullivan's most memorable music. Police Focus on School Zones for "Operation Safe Passage" -- 5/10 thru 5/24 The Palo Alto Police Department will be participating in "Operation Safe Passage" starting May 10, through the 24th. The Palo Alto police run this special program three times a year in order to increase the safety of students commuting to and from school. During "Operation Safe Passage," police strictly enforce traffic violations in and around school zones during peak commute hours. They focus on the following violations by motorists and commuting students:
Note: The goal of this program is preventive enforcement, NOT just to hand out tickets. Hence this reminder. -- Glenn Farm Work Day -- Sun 5/16 All the rain has been wonderful for the plants AND weeds. We look forward to seeing you out on the farm this weekend. -- Brian Ohlone Yearbook -- another chance
(If you already ordered back in August via the "One-Check form", you can skip this.) The yearbook is a great way to share the memories of life at Ohlone. It includes pictures of all the children and activities of each classroom, a photographic record of major events throughout the year, group classroom photos, and much more. If you did not order a yearbook last August on your One-Check Form, it's not too late! You have one more opportunity to do so! If you don't remember whether you ordered one, you can check the yearbook order list posted on the Office window. If you would like to order one now, there are order forms in the Office. Stop by and pick one up. Or, you can print the order form immediately below. The cost is $25 per yearbook (up from $20 on the One-Check Form). You must attach your payment (cash or check) to the order form and put it in the office inbox or in the manila folder titled "Yearbook Order Forms." Orders are due Friday, May 21st. There will be a very limited supply available in the office after June 8 for anyone who did not pre-order. The cost at that time will be $30 per book. Any questions, please contact Susan Bush at susancbush@gmail.com or Sharon Delman at sharon.delman@gmail.com. 2010 Ohlone Yearbook Order Form It's still not too late to order a yearbook!

History really comes alive in the months leading up to the simulation. Students are taking part in many activities including a colonial go-around, storytelling from historical characters, learning trades, taking on a persona for the simulation and earning the cost of their passage to the New World. During the 3-day simulation, students will establish their settlements and work towards becoming a self-sufficient colony. We'd like to invite you to participate in our simulation.
