Getting ready for PIE?

Thanksgiving is just over a week away. Has anyone else jumped the gun by having pumpkin pie before the big day? I confess I have (along with pumpkin scones, pumpkin lattes, well... enough said). Pie is a big part of this time of year.

Another slice of PIE (Partners in Education) is the important work being done by El Carmelo volunteers to support the work of the Palo Alto Unified schools, including ourselves. I want to thank everyone that has worked to organize this year's effort and to all of you that have contributed so far this year. Did you know that we count the contribution level by percentage of families? Any contribution of any size goes to show how committed our school community is to education. Thanks again for your contribution, particularly during a time of uncertainty.

And do enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday. The one constant of mine has been that, in whose ever house we celebrate, whatever we are eating, we always bring our loved ones together. May your families cherish the time you spend being thankful .
