Caliente Union School District: Parent Newsletter

Parent Newsletter

Dear Parents/Readers

With just six weeks left of school our year is zooming to the end. After STAR Testing this past month it was fun to relax and enjoy a good game of softball, 7th/8th grade against the staff. We all enjoyed a little ice cream treat in the afternoon to celebrate the completion of testing. Also, this last month our 3rd -8th graders visited the planetarium at BC College.

Family Fun Day is coming up soon. On Saturday, May 24th the Caliente Ed Foundation, with help from the Piute Mountain PTC, will be hosting a very special day for the entire community at Ed Oakley Hall. They will be holding the annual horseshoe tournament, a silent auction, live music, and food and drink for the entire family. For the kids, there will be games and activities for them to enjoy and keep them active. This event has proved to be wonderful time for the community. I encourage everyone to come out and join in the fun. In preparing for the silent auction, we are asking folks to consider donating items that would be of great value to others in our community. If you would like to give a donation for the silent auction or donate to the annual yard sale please call the school at (661) 867-2301 or just stop by and drop them off.

Lighting Solutions. This past month we had a team of electricians come through our schools and in just two days they had replaced our light ballast and fitted us an updated lighting system that saved the school thousands of dollars. Bakersfield & Kern County Watch, under the direction of Robert Flores, came in and provided our schools with an energy assessment and directed the crew to update our system. We would like to thank Mark Okino with Southern California Edison, our local provider, for seeing our need, and making the necessary contacts to get the ball rolling. I believe the energy savings to the school will be significant for years to come.

Special Thanks

Once again, we want to thank John Haberlander and Tom Bittle for all that they do around Piute Mountain School. During our spring break Tom and John provided tractor work. John Haberlander repaired potholes in our driveway and parking lot. We just love having you gentlemen a part of our community and our school family.

Acts of service is a crucial thread in the fabric of success within our community.
