ISM BIG SUR MARATHON AIDE STATION – SUNDAY APRIL 26THOnce again, we will be able to help at the Big Sur Marathon and earn cash for our school. We need volunteers on Sunday, April 26th, from early morning to a little after noon. This is a fun event, and students fourth grades and up are welcome to help! Our job is to serve water and energy drink to the runners.
Our captains are Anu and Murali Tummala, parents of 7th grader Neeli Tummala. We will meet at the Barnyard shopping center around 6:30 am (exact time to be confirmed later), and carpool to our aid station, which is about 6 miles south of the shopping center. We will carpool back to the shopping center around 12 or 1 pm, depending on when the race is over. Traffic will be closed, so you will not be able to drive to or from our aid station on your own.
To sign up, please e-mail Clara Wang at clarawang@comcast.net as soon as possible. Please also indicate the T-shirt size you prefer, S, M, L, XL or XXL. I will send the volunteers more specific information after the captains' meeting the weekend before the event.

MATH AROUND THE WORLD FESTIVAL – FRIDAY, APRIL 17THDear Parents,
On Friday, April 17, Lawrence Hall of Science is facilitating a Math Festival titled “Math Around the World”. Lawrence Hall of Science writes:
Take a mathematical trip around the world! Timeless games from across the globe come together to challenge students' probability, logic, and strategy skills. From Native American Game Sticks to Lo-Shu Puzzles of China, students exercise their ability to focus and problem-solve—traits necessary for succeeding in math. Maps and historical information blend social studies and geography with mathematics.
Mrs. Madden is still looking for parents to help with the Math Festival scheduled for Friday, April 17. There will be 12 stations set up and a volunteer is needed for each station. Check your calendars and come help out!
