    Hello Skyline! 
     
    This is Alli and Jenny, this year's garden and grounds stewards. 
     
    Did you know that our beautiful school grounds are maintained primarily through parent and community volunteers? This is both a difficulty (we have a large space) and a blessing (we all benefit from the gardens and can choose what we plant and care for). 
     
    One of our jobs as stewards is to help spearhead garden work sessions (we like to call them Garden Parties), where families and friends of Skyline join us for a couple of hours of work weeding, trimming and cleaning our school grounds. Kids sometimes help, or have a blast playing with friends on the playground while parents work. Chai and snacks are offered after the work is done. It is a lovely way to meet other parents, get some outside play time, and to feel good about making the school a more beautiful place!
     
    This year we are setting our garden party dates in advance so that those of us who are planners can mark their calendars. We are also trying out something new by making the garden parties focused on different classes each month. Though, anyone who wants to come can come to any of the parties!
     
    Here are the dates:
     
    October: Sunday the 6th 1:00-3:00 pm (3rd-5th graders)
    November: Saturday the 9th 10:00-12:00 (K-2nd graders)
    December: Sunday the 8th 10:00-12:00 (6th-8th graders)
    January: Saturday the 11th 1:00- 3:00pm (3rd-5th graders)
    February: Sunday the 9th 1:00- 3:00pm (K-2nd graders)
    March: Saturday the 8th 10:00-12:00 (6th-8th graders)
    April: Sunday the 13th 10:00-12:00 (EVERYONE)
    May: Saturday the 17th 1:00-3:00 (EVERYONE)
     
    What to bring? Bring yourselves, and any gardening tools you like to use.
    No tools? No problem!
    We have a selection of hand tools at Skyline for our gardening volunteers.
    Bringing a weed whacking device (like a brush hog) has been a great help in tackling the ever growing blackberry bushes that like to sneak into the playground, track field etc.
     
    The skyline gardens belong to all of us and we welcome everyone’s ideas and enthusiasm on ways to make it even better for our kids! 
     
    Special requests: 
    • We are looking for folks who have irrigation knowledge to help revive our current (non-functioning) system. 
    • We are also interested in finding a rototiller that can work on the steep slope between the field and the playground so that we can till up the blackberries and repopulate that area with native plants and wildflowers. 
    • We are always looking for volunteers with trucks/trailers that can help haul compost or wood chips in, and brush and debris out, on garden party days. 
     
    Please reach out to us (Alli: allisoleil@protonmail.com, Jenny: jennyhuntsf@gmail.com) if you have any questions or ideas! 
     
    Thank you!!
    Alli and Jenny

  • Join Us for a Powerful Movie Night!

    1/10/2025

    PPS is hosting a series of events that focus on belonging, equity and inclusive practices where we will screen powerful, award-winning documentaries that will challenge each of us to consider what is possible in the systems we create for our children with disabilities.

    As part of this series, we will be holding a free screening of "Forget Me Not” on Thursday, January 16th at 6:30 PM at Franklin High School.

    "Forget Me Not" is a moving story about 3-year-old Emilio whose family finds itself embroiled in a challenge all too common for children with disabilities: that of securing the right to an inclusive education. Filmmaker Olivier and his wife, Hilda, turn the camera on themselves and their child as they navigate an often frustrating system on their way toward ensuring that their son gets the education he needs and deserves.

    Staff, families, and community members are all invited. Parking is free and light refreshment will be provided. We hope to see you there!

  • Skyline Teacher Inspires Students to Slow Down & Look Up

    If you’re ever lucky enough to tag along with Tom Myers and his bird club at Skyline School, you’ll most likely notice a few things: that Skyline in the early morning can be a breathtakingly beautiful place, and that if you have a question about birds – or the natural world in general – the man his students call “Teacher Tom” can almost certainly answer it.
